Overall

I bought this shoe for $32 at a Nike outlet store, and I absolutely love it. Light, flexible, durable, great-looking...can't go wrong. Great for track workouts, and great for long runs, both on the road and on trails.

I've been running in the Lunar glide/Flyknit series, and I have really enjoyed this shoe. The only problem I have had was with the heel after I first got them. After a few runs that was fixed
