Heat For Your Feet


Nike @ The Grove LA

Nike shoes are unavoidable. You see them in stores, walking down the street or even in your closet. They’re stylish, comfortable and work in plenty of different settings. Sneakerhead or not, you can’t go wrong wearing that Swoosh on your feet. Here’s five Nike shoes that will have you look good and feel good (and won’t break your bank).

1. Air Force 1

It’s simple, it’s clean, it’s comfortable. A $100 investment for shoes that will last years. The popular, classic Nike staple has been around for decades and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It’s available in several different colors for people of all ages, genders, shoe size, etc. If you’re considering Nike sneakers, start here.

2. Air Max ’97

Like the Air Force 1, Nike Air Max ’97’s work for men and women of all ages and come in many different colorways. A bit more pricy at $175, these shoes have become more popular year by year. The unique design allows the shoe to stand out from anything seen before and is the perfect shoe to gift a loved one or spoil yourself with. While classified as a running shoe, it’s perfect for being active or staying comfortable.

3. Pegasus 39

The Nike Pegasus 39 is a classic, inexpensive running shoe. Although mostly used for running and being active, it’s purely athleisure. The interior sole is designed to adapt to your feet and remains durable through any condition and activity. Like most Nike sneakers, it’s perfect to wear on a day-to-day basis whether going for runs or a relaxing day inside.

4. Waffle One

Originally designed for the University of Oregon track team for more comfortable runs, the Nike Waffle One has turned into an athleisure style shoe. Similarly to most Nike shoes, many different styles and colors of the sneaker have been released and there are many designs to choose from. However, a pair will only cost you $100–at most. It has become one of the premier casual shoes the brand has to offer.

5. Air Jordan 1

Last but certainly not least on this list is the infamous Air Jordan 1. With three different styles of the shoe (low, mid, high) and more than 15 colorways, you don’t need to play basketball to rock Jordans. The low version of the shoes go for as little as $90 with the highs as much as $175. The quality of the leather used for the shoe keeps it durable and can last more than a year. The prices may be steep but all who wear it can vouch for its value.
