nike mayflys





i thought i'd show you these bad boys... nike mayflys.
i bought them maybe 5 years ago. you have to feel them to be honest... they are the lightest kicks you will ever hold.




they come in this drawstring bag




on the other side of the bag it explains a little about the concept of the shoes
designed for running, or more accurately for running 100km.
the idea is that they last you for 100km run then they start to fall apart !



everything about them is lightweight
they seem very flimsy. just pieces of lightweight material sewn together. even the laces are strangely light.



the soles are nicely spongey and they are comfortable to run in
but i have not yet run 100km in them.



i was toying with the idea of wearing them out, with a pair of trousers...
but no... i think they are strictly for running in.
