Walk a Mile in My Shoes—My Honest Review of the Nike V2K Sneakers

I love sneakers. I wear them more than any other type of shoe, and I’ve been what you call a “sneakerhead” for most of my formative years. I used to wake up early to wait for the next sneaker drop by a cool designer. Back then, in middle and high school, I was wearing high-top sneakers a lot, and they were usually from Nike’s Jordan Brand. Now, I’ve definitely toned it down with silhouettes meant for running (even though I’m not much of a runner).

I live in NYC, where I walk everywhere, which requires reliable sneakers. I’ve been on the hunt for a new pair and saw the Nike V2K Run on the site. It looked aesthetically like the right type of shoe for me. It was stylish, not too gaudy, totally functional, and quite affordable, too—all the characteristics that work well for an everyday sneaker. So I reached out to the Nike team to ask for a pair to test for a week. Keep scrolling through to see if they’re as good as I thought they’d be.
