Super interesting review from Nightwing! I don't know about you guys, but I definitely haven't heard people say that they are "the most comfortable shoes of all-time..." they are comfortable, yes, but not up to that level, so I agree with him on that.
It's also nice to see the way he runs and what he observed for cushioning. From the small bit of him running on the treadmill, you can see he supinates quite a bit and strikes midfoot, so I can definitely understand his opinions about the lack of responsiveness he's feeling and the problematic lack of support as well.
In other news, I'm about 50 miles into the shoes from running in these, and about another 15-20 miles of total walking (I've only worn these for running ever since 1 or 1.5 weeks into wearing them), and I thought I'd bring up an update. It's visually still good up top, but it's starting to fog up a lot more in the units. The crucial thing I should tell you is that once you put in some runs in these, these shoes don't really feel like casual shoes anymore... the break-in process goes deeper and then that's when walking in them casually becomes a different shoe. You can feel each Air unit from one to another as you move, which isn't so comfortable. The good thing is that the traction breaks in, so the tacky sounds go away although the squeaking would occur here and there. Regardless, it becomes different, but it's still good.
