#194 NIKE SB X JORDAN 1 LANCE MOUNTAIN
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
#192 NIKE FREE TRAINER 5.0 MID SHIELD TEAM USA
THE OLYMPIC TEAM USA THEMED VERSION OF THE NIKE FREE TRAINER 5.0 MID SHIELD. THESE ARE WATER RESISTANT & FEATURE A MORE CONSERVATIVE USA COLORWAY WITH MAJORITY EMPHASIS ON THE BLUE (A NAVY ONE AT THAT). THE HEEL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH "USA" INSTEAD OF "NIKE". USA SHIELD ON THE TONGUE & GOLD SPECKS WITH BLACK TRANSPARENT SOLES COMPLETE THIS SPECIAL VERSION. AS WITH MOST NIKE FREES, THEY ARE TOO SOFT & CUSHIONY WHICH IN THE END CAUSES IT TO LACK STABILITY & SUPPORT. NONE OF THEM DO NOT, NOR HAVE EVER, FELT LIKE WALKING/PERFORMING BAREFOOT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT KOOL AID NIKE DRINKS THAT CAUSES THEM TO THINK THAT WEARING SOFT BOUNCY SHOES FEELS LIKE WALKING BAREFOOT. BUT APPARENTLY THEY'VE MANAGED TO PASS THE KOOL AID AROUND TO MILLIONS OF THOUGHTLESS CONSUMERS.
#191 SALOMON XA PRO 3D GTX
A STAPLE OF SALOMON'S FOOTWEAR LINE, THE XA PRO 3D IS ONE OF THE MOST VERSATILE TRAIL SHOES OUT THERE. WHILE LOOKING ARMOURED & HEAVY DUTY, IT IS FAIRLY LIGHTWEIGHT FOR ITS PROTECTION CAPABILITY. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, IT IS FAVORED BY THE SPEC OPS GROUPS OF THE MILITARY. EVEN IF NOT USED FOR RUNNING, THEY ARE VERY COMFORTABLE FOR EVERYDAY USE AS WELL AS THE GYM. THIS IS THE GORTEX VERSION.
