[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Ava X Breathe has been one of my favorite go-to sneakers. The sleek and modern design gives me a bold and sporty aesthetic option to implement into my outfits. The upper is thin which allows for the shoe to be light and breathable. The upper is also soft and malleable which helps conform to my foot’s shape providing me a snug one-to-one true to size fit. The fuse layers helped provide support to the upper. I really enjoyed the cushlon 3.0 that was implemented into the midsole. It provided a comfortable and responsive feel whether I wore them for a 12 hour workshift, full day of running errands or on my daily morning runs. This is a sneaker for those who want to add a splash of style while maintaining all day comfort.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are perfect for everyday use or for trips to the gym! The soles provide a great amount of support and cushion, which make them super comfortable. There is also additional support padding around the ankle, which is perfect to give structure while using a lighter, breathable fabric for the top of the shoes. The upper material is great as it doesn’t feel too heavy and it forms to your foot. The shoes have a unique shape where the front portion where your toes are and the heel portion are bigger than the mid-sole. I found this design ideal for support my foot where it needs it most, but that might differ for you depending on how you walk. My only complaint is that these do seem to run a bit small, so it might be worth going up half a size. Overall, a great pair of shoes for any use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Ava Breathe black on black where not my favorite. I got a 10 and they were a little small. I wish I had gotten a 10.5. I like the weight of the shoe they are super light. And I like that Nike seems to be making there toe box slightly wider than they used to. The upper material seems really cheap to me and I feel like you can see glue all over. I wore the shoes for 18 rounds of golf and they were very cozy and my feet didn’t hurt much at the end.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to like the shoe as the style looks good, but the more I wore it the more I realize it’s just not for me. The shoe prioritizes fashion over comfort as the heel of the shoe specifically loves to dig in to the back of my heel with an almost plastic like rigidity, I even tried wearing thicker socks to no avail. Would not recommend over other similar lifestyle sneakers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoe fit is very good. Great lockdown no heel slippage. I like the way the laces fall over the tongue so there are no hot spots when I tie my shoe that dig into my feet. They feel comfy. The cushion used is very nice. It is a firm type of cushion, not the plush type. The design is nice. The design on the sole really makes the shoe look futuristic and comfy. Love the design of the tongue. The fabric is perfect for warm weather. This shoe is great for outdoor summer workouts. I do everything in these. I may not run a 5k in these but I will def run a mile or two. I like the cushion set of the most. What I think could be improved is stability. Maybe a shank plate or more supportive heel cup. Great lifestyle shoe!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Ava X Breathe is a superlight and breathable shoe. When I first picked it up out of the box I was surprised at how light they felt in hand, and they definitely translated on foot. The sole is nice and thick with pretty good traction and grip. One of the mornings I took these out was a bit damp from early morning rain, and I had no issues with slippage. That being said, I would not wear these if it's actively raining as the material will let all the water in. The shoe is made up of a plastic-like mesh which is super breathable and is probably how they achieve the lightweight aspect. It has super sleek and lowkey triple black look that isn't super loud and flashy, which I am a fan of personally. Being as lightweight as they are and given how thick and cushioned the sole is, I had no issue wearing these all day for multiple days whether I was at work on my feet, at the gym or at the park walking all day. They are true to size and fit well. My only complaint about the shoe is at the back of my foot, if it was tied too tight, the material would rub at the same spot and because the material is rather stiff, it did cause some temporary tenderness and irritation. I'm sure could've been avoided if I wore thicker socks, broke them in a bit more, or loosened the shoes a tiny bit. Overall, I like the shoe and give it a solid 8/10 for those looking to add a comfy, lightweight shoe that can be worn all day for different tasks. The only thing I would personally change is just that back part that was rubbing by maybe adding a bit more padding to ensure that doesn't happen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are incredibly lightweight and comfortable, making them a great option for all-day wear. Nike's Cushlon 3.0 cushioning provides a soft, supportive feel, helping reduce fatigue even after extended periods of walking or standing. The upper is highly breathable, which helped keep my feet cool and comfortable during longer walks. I also really like the Black/Black Anthracite colorway. The combination of different shades of black and varied textures gives the shoe a sleek look while adding subtle visual interest that helps it stand out. Overall, these shoes strike a great balance between comfort, style, and versatility. Whether you're running errands, taking a walk around the neighborhood, or looking for a reliable everyday shoe, they are a solid choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are the most lightweight pair of sneakers that I now own. It’s actually deceiving at first because the sole is thick so when I first picked them up I was shocked they were so light. The sole is very cushioned while also being supportive and my feet stay comfortable even after a few hours of wearing them. They do fit a little snug around the middle of my foot but widen out in the toe area so my toes aren’t squished together. I had to loosen the shoelaces but they’re long enough that it didn’t affect my ability to tie them. Unlike other sneakers with the thin material around the ankle, the tongue is not attached so it does not sit uncomfortably around the top of my foot. I do have wide feet and ankles and they wouldn’t be my top choice for walking rougher terrain due to the lack of ankle support. They’re very comfortable to walk in for long periods of time on pavement or wearing on errand days. I love the look of them and the fact that they are all black so they will be able to match all of my outfits!

The lightest shoes I've ever had, love that. Stable for work on my feet. Light cushioning, ok for short jogs but thin for a forefoot-striking runner like me. Breathability is my biggest gripe. The mesh ones are average breathability, not great. Got a pair of Ava X (non-mesh) and the upper fabric looks very cool (like Element 55) but zero breathability. Didn't like the yellow/lime color of the outsole in person, got dirty easy and hard to style. Happy with the triple black mesh version.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Ava X Breathe is a comfortable and versatile shoe, great for running errands, running, working out, and much more. I've been very happy with the quality, it's very lightweight but the material is very durable and the cushioning feels great. The shoe looks great, the all black shoe can elevate any outfit and the different shades of black give this a little pop which is usually hard to do with an all black shoe. The shoe fits true to size for me which is great because I usually have to go half a size up if its too narrow. Overall a very great shoe but if there is anything I could change, I would add a little more cushioning around the heel tab but other than that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a shoe that can do it all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very lightweight, stylish, and comfortable. The Ava has a pretty thick outsole, especially under the heel which makes it squishy but not unstable. The heel cup and cushioning around the achilles locks the foot in place keeping the shoe secure. The mesh upper is both breathable and durable making them perfect for all day wear. The natural contour tongue is soft and thin which is a plus. At the price point, these are tough to beat for an everyday stylish athletic shoe and have become my new go to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit felt true to size with a secure lockdown around the heel and midfoot without feeling too tight, and they were incredibly lightweight feel like a feather and comfortable right out of the box. The cushioning felt soft yet responsive for both walks and everyday wear. I took it on a 3 mile walk on a park on a hot day and my feet felt great. The mesh is very breathable even on a hot day. I also really liked the clean all-black design because it looks modern, sleek, and versatile enough for both workouts and casual outfits. The upper material felt breathable and flexible. The shoes have a premium feel overall especially for the price point . What I liked most was the combination of comfort and minimalist style, though I’d maybe add a little color accents on this colorway to make it feel a less one note design wise. I would recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a comfortable but stylish shoe that’s good for almost any activity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Materials - Lightweight materials and construction. Breathable mesh. I feel like the materials will hold up decently overtime. The textures on the outsole were a very nice touch to give some depth and variety. One small update would be to the toebox which could use a little more material but it’s good enough. Fit - True to size. Snuggish but not too snug while still feeling locked in and having some wiggle room. Lightweight with good traction. The sole is squishy but still structural. Styling - Great low cut shoe that I feel pairs best with shorts or some kind of jogger/ tights. I wouldn’t style these shoes with long jeans. It can be done but I probably wouldn’t. I would also like to see maybe a difference in tone in some of the panels of the shoe so there is a little more depth instead of one solid color. Overall, a lightweight and comfortable daily shoe. Good for working out, good for walking, good for anything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love these shoes! The Ava X has the perfect balance of style and comfort. They’re incredibly lightweight and have a sleek, modern look that works great for everyday wear or travel since they’re so easy to pack. The cushioning is super soft, and the support feels great even after being on my feet for hours. They feel stable, comfortable, and confidence boosting with every step. The tread on the sole of the shoe allows for amazing cross training from running to lifting weights. My only minor complaint is that the shoelaces are unusually long, but that’s an easy fix compared to how great the shoes are overall. Highly recommend!
