I’m a sucker for things like this but if they are comfy for house shoes (Hoka Ora/Oofoo level) I’m in.

Probably will end up like the Joyride though.

I liked the Joyride a lot and thought it was promising, but obviously sales must not have been good enough to keep going. The models that had plenty of the 'balls' in them were very comfortable. I was disappointed that technology died so quickly. I get the same impression as you for this tech...probably a short run.

Just want black slides

 

[SlamShut]

I want the solar red slides but I’m concerned about how well they stay on foot. I’ve seen a few YouTube videos and they look iffy.


Does anyone know if the 002 will drop in the solar red color way?

In the slides? Heard some Nike stores already have them out

I’m curious if the sneaker (002) will release in the solar red color way the slides (001) are coming out in.

Are you saying the 002 is out already in the red color the 001 are coming out in?

No. I read it wrong that’s my bad. I’ve only seen the shoes in tan and grey no other colors

Fit is TTS as it always is with Nike shoes for me.

I really like the build, materials, the colorway and the quality. They are very very nice and futuristic looking.

I tried on both models in store but took only a few steps in each.
Love the first on foot impression.

With the shoes you can feel them working underneath your foot as soon as you move your foot just a little , even when sitting down. It's pretty special.

Well worth a try IMO.

You can feel the nodes noticeably more in the shoes(002) and while you can feel it in the slides(001) too bit to a lesser degree.

Will post a long term review later down the line and see if they make a noticeable difference over time on whatever level.

I was lucky enough to be able get the shoes(002) in my size and for now that more than made my day! I had been waiting for that for many months and I was bummed to see that finally the 002 would not be available on NDC in Canada before Feb 26 as they have been pushed back almost 2 months, 001 and 002 were initially supposed to release at the same time on Jan 8, just like in the States.

Luckily for me my local Nike Store came to the rescue with some available.

Wanted the 001 Red but a work meeting foiled me and I missed the drop. Got the last pair in my size at local DSG for the 002. Just got home from the Labyrinth 40 yr anny showing and wore one shoe on a rug for 17 seconds but they felt fun!

Slides fit snug. I wouldn't worry about them coming off unless your getting chased.

Ok today I tried the shoes on at home.
Here are my observations after the 1st wear: there was an instant smile on my face for the first 2-3 minutes that wouldn't go away, this is an exciting and intriguing product.

Then I walked in the house for a 7-8 minutes...NGL they are intense! to say the least.

I took 'em off right after (had to!) .My feet and my head had enough for now
My feet weren't tired at the muscular level, but they were hyper stimulated from a neural perspective, not to say over stimulated....After a few minutes I could feel the bottom of my feet starting to get very hot or getting a slight burning sensation, probably because it stimulated a high blood flow and that burning sensation is still felt an hour after I took the shoes off.
Don't know how else to put it into words.
I had all kinds of effed up sensations ranging from feeling like something was sticking under my foot and then pulled off repeatedly, feeling as if the bottom of my feet was burning, sweating sensation or walking/running in drenched shoes even though they were not wet, then felt as if my skin was irritated...sign that they had more than enough for the day.

So I wouldn't advise wearing these all day long or for too long, at least at first. I think it's better to work your way up slowly as the 002 need a bit of getting used to (than the 001) since they are rather intense in my opinion. Maybe they need a little bit of getting used to at first like the Nike Free back in the day? or maybe they work too damn well for me? IDK

Not one review I've seen talk about that so far.

I will skip one day tomorrow, give my feet the day off to fully integrate all of that, see where it leads and how I feel next time.

Note that this is not a negative review at all, just that I don't really what to make of it for now in regards to the 002 intense feel. Will post a follow up in the future once I can give it enough time to better understand its use and the on foot sensations I'm getting or see if they evolve with time (or even if they help my injured foot and ankle recover any faster/better).

For now I prefer the feeling of the 001 (slides). You still feel 'em working but they are not as ''agressive'' , way more relaxing and you can wear 'em for a long time without any of the aforementioned sensations the shoes are giving me.

I would really love Nike to provide more context around their use and the best way to use them according to their research so people can use them the exact way they were intended for, not just random experience.

update after 2nd wear test *with a twist:

If you put the 002 on and you remain seated, just by rocking your foot forward and back or side to side a minute or two, you can feel the effect and that alone might be enough for some people. In my experience no need to wear them for too long to have an interesting effect.

The other thing I tried this time was I walked on hard floor for only about 2 minutes with the 002 on but in 1 foot as is and in the other one I added an insole from a Nike React Infinity Run 3 just to compare.

The added insole does tone down the intensity of the feeling by a lot but you can still feel the nodes well enough working underneath your foot and the feel now becomes closer to the 001 in many ways, more like a calming effect and you can keep to shoes on for longer if it is what you are aiming for or if like me the feeling of the 002 is too intense for you.

The positive sensation or effect does remain for a well extended period of time after you take the shoes off even if worn for only about 2 minutes and same thing if you do add on some insoles.

So far I'm enjoying experimenting with the shoes. I think everyone is different and hopefully this input might give you an additional option to tune the effect to your desired likes and needs or what's best for you individually.

Cheers!

If skechers released these, they’d be a laughing stock.

They probably will. They steal everything else.
