Defective???
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a pair of these bad boys earlier this year and up until recently it was one of the best running shoes I've ever owned. Unfortunately the bottom black sole started detaching and I can feel it fold as I run/walk sometimes. I know its bound to happen due to wear and tear but I've only had them for less than a year and expected them to last longer. It's unfortunate because I love Nike and the Flyknit. I was looking into getting a pair of the new Mariah's but now I'm a little weary due to the circumstances. In the end If it weren't for this incident id give the Flyknit Racer 5 stars. I'd like to think maybe my pair were just defective. Don't let me stop you from owning your own pair.

By far best shoes!!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I run in-between 60-70 miles a week with tempos, long stead state, threshold, fartleks and distance speed work runs mixed in. And these shoes have been the best all around shoes Ive ever worn hands down. Breathabilty and traction on all surfaces have been incredible. Very light but with just enough amount of cushioning so you wont beat your legs/feet up. Be sure to run atleast 50% - 60% of your runs on soft surfaces like grass, dirt trails, rubberized track etc.. in these shoes though or you will probably feel discomfort from the minimal amount of cushion. I've found that I can run up to a half marathon fully comfortable in these and they are super fast enough to even do 1200 to mile speed-work intervals on the track. Durability is pretty good but I did find that the in-sole cushion gets worn out and beat up badly. Its normal though and happens with every shoe. Wish nike sold the in-sole cushion separately so I can replace my worn out ones. I've given these shoes a beating with around 300 miles on them and I think I can give them another 70-100 before structural integrity starts giving out. Just need new in-sole cushions though. Overall these are the best shoes and I'ld buy 15 pairs enough for the whole year if I had the money. This is the perfect runners running shoe for racing and training. In the future for serious athletes I wish nike could evolve purchasing methods to include something like a monthly bill for a pair a month or yearly discounted rate for 12-15 pairs of the same shoes to be shipped to you all at once so when a pair wears out you can just keep going instead of having to shop and wait for the new pair to come in. This would be perfect for me at the beginning of the year if can just stock up on these and then throw down 2000+ miles for the year on the same running shoes. I know its not part of the actual shoe review but just ideas to consider for the serious athletes.

Awesome Shoe!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this shoe after having a great experience with other colors of the flyknit racer. Comfort is top notch, and does not create fatigue when you wear it all day. Extremely light and at times can feel like there is nothing on your feet. The color way on this specific pair pops, especially in sunlight. The flyknit upper is extremely flexible and well ventilated. Running is this shoe is a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this shoe for anyone who runs a lot, or a little, this shoe will meet your needs.

Great shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have close to 400 miles on my current pair and still going strong. Toe is narrow compared to the free flyknit. Love the flyknit.

Great!
Super comfortable for walking and the all black, you can wear with a suit and still be comfortable. Very airy shoe too, so only good in warm climates so I can imagine it won't be very durable. It is small and narrow, but that's fine with me.

Poor Durability
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these shoes this summer and already the left sole is coming coming off. The top and bottom of the sole is completely detaches. They're my favorite running shoes and i was looking forward to buying more but i wont be purchasing again if it'll only last me 2 months.

Shoe did the same thing to me... I love the shoe; hate the obviously cheap permeability of the sole to the shoe.
