I have just purchased these great looking comfy shoes. I loved the phantom 1 so much I just had to get the phantom 2. Even though I really liked the no laces in the first model I'm am greatly surprised and very happy with the choice I've made. JPphantom · underarmour.com.au

By far the best running shoes I think I've ever tried on. They're comfy, but not overly comfy, with great stability. And the toe box is PERFECT. Not too wide, not too narrow. It literally fits like a sock it's so true to my size. The flyknit material conforms to my foot when I run, and it's very flexible, making all of my steps feel natural. Of course, with the react technology, it adds that extra Halen · store.nike.com
