Nike Dart 9 Running shoes Review

I have these shoes for my normal daily use. They fit perfectly and are very suitable for running. I have been with them regularly and I think they are very comfortable.

I wear a size 14 and fit exactly the right length, but seemed to run a bit wide. However, that very well. In addition, would not a shoe, the question was too narrow. I have no complaints and shoes have been added. However, like most of Nike, are more aligned. A serious runner probably wants something with a little more support. Otherwise, great product!

Shoes Nike Dart these nine are the most comfortable and attractive shoes I have had in years. Road a few miles every morning and do that I just drive along.

This pair of shoes, my knee hurts, like many Nike shoes these days. The heel is too large.

I must say that I bought this shoe to have for training, but it feels so comfortable with it, I started using it at home. I have to admit it is great.

This is a NIKE, what else I can say these people are making their product engineering, which want to give a high quality performance.

Footwear All about Me IT SEEMS This excellent People Have a little cake LARGE Lightweight and ergonomically very comfortable on my own! Delivery of the Product and in good conditions!

I bought shoes for my son who has been in 4e New Balance athletic shoes. This shoe was lower than it is to operate.

I have these shoes a few days before the race and not put a time worked better, then run the last few years and not acts until my knees. I would recommend a

Purchased by me in January and take a beating. I am a great person, a lot of pressure on the shoes, and these are some of the most comfortable I have ever had. Nice arches, which is a great advantage to me. Be worthwhile in any case, a second pair.

To work for a shoe and just being active in DART is the one. I could not be happier

Ok, so let me start by saying that I have a pair of arrows around a year ago. I can fly with the shoes, as every 4 months. I cannot even begin to describe what these shoes are over. Processing time is approximately 6 miles a day for a year, all types of terrain. Snow, ice, rocks, sand, water, and pavement. I dare to try to break it. Not even a thread has started to withdraw from these shoes. I mean not only that so much good, I wear them all the time, even before stepping on a skateboard, I have this. Oh, do not forget that different temperatures have been through this, from -20 to 127 Death Valley in California all the way up near Canada. Ridiculous. Big bats, which are easy to do exactly what the correct dimensions and they did not disappoint. I hope you had the luck I had with these new, strong, and still looking for more than a year.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves them said they are very comfortable. He is 6'5 and cannot maintain its size. Thanks,

I ordered these shoes for my roommate for Christmas and he loves them. He says he helped the elbows, which are flat, and that helped in the lower back. He stands, sits, and is largely at work in electronics. The Nike looks even better in person than in pictures.

Nike Clothing Buy A son of Wonder, ice elegance Children, Girls, Women and man IS ON TIME. EN Season of the Year Exclusive of any.

I liked Pretty Shoes. Thank you very much for the Service and Care! I am pleased for the purchase. I have no complaints about Con Shipping Pensée Much But I was already taking my hands and I have Then I see that I no longer had much As soon Deco. Thanks again.

Very good PRODUCO, from Venezuela, please send us as Excellent and Very Good Shoe Brand. Arrived in perfect condition.

Let me start by saying that the other reviews here are very misleading - they are, what I buy this product, and I knew right away if it was a mistake.

I have been using my Nike shoes for all sports for over 20 years. I currently run a mile and three between miles daily in the warm-up for other sports, especially boxing. This will be very little wear for those who know something about running, my feet and saw the shops and the number of victims is almost no problems (my bow is a bit high) have.

Therefore, I decided I could probably get away with a pair of running shoes cheaper and the other comments made me feel comfortable with them.

First, a little too big for Nike. I always carry an 11 and this set was a bit big for me. However, much greater importance is the complete lack of support inside the shoe. I have forced a mile from the intense pain to stop me.

This shoe may work for you, if you have very flat feet, but frankly do not think this is worth it. For $ 25 more, you can go to a store and a pair of running shoes is, large and equipped knows he will have no problem.

I bought these in size 10 and these in size 9 1/2 digit current W. They were a little tight, but he still adjusted on your feet after a while and is now very comfortable. I mind buying another pair.

Convenient, inexpensive, perfect for running / walking. Shoes that are not best at that price, I know because I have tried. Nice!

I have these shoes for my birthday, children and loved. He is a runner and said, these shoes are the footwear and running.

Running Shoes Hot by Fashion

Buyers interested in a fashion statement that they are actually touching jogging sneakers technologically advanced, as they are comfortable and fashionable. In addition, do not hesitate to pay. Exhibit A: $ 100 Nike Free sneakers in "hot toddy" known as pink.

Sales of such footwear in the United States rose 14 percent to $ 6.46 billion in the 12 months through March, according to NPD Group. Gains in revenue for the first quarter pushed up shares trading on Sporting Goods Foot Locker Dick, evidence that a trend that began two years ago still has legs.

Since the recession, a number of running shoes that are easy on both eyes and feet use Nike and Adidas to consumer demands for more value, said NPD analyst Marshal Cohen.

"We have seen the business running shoes, a fashion store and the convenience and innovation into a business," said Cohen, Port Washington, New York. "If that together, that's a positive perfect storm."

The sale of running shoes to drive the sports industry around the shoe. So it is with Nike, which generates in fiscal year 2011 almost 14 percent of its $ 20.9 billion in worldwide sales in the current category.

Investors are betting on sporting goods retailers and manufacturers of sneakers continue to benefit from the performance-footwear-boom.

Adidas, Foot Locker, Dick, Skechers USA, and DSW Shoe Carnival have risen more than 20 percent this year to 22 May compared with 4.7 percent gain for the 500 Standard & Poor 's. Finish Line and Nike have progressed at least 10 percent.

Sports shoes are used for a long time the court or field. Sneakers as fashion really took off in the 1980s as a rapper helped make basketball shoes like Nike Air Force 1, Adidas Superstar bestseller. Later, the Air Jordan basketball shoe has been an integral part of the urban street fashion.

In the running shoes were used for everyday use, sales increased in 2010 with the advent of lightweight shoes that weigh less than 300 grams and come in a variety of neon colors.

Toning Shoes played a role, too. In the depths of the recession in 2009, Skechers and Reebok, a unit of Adidas shoes that help tone the back of a woman, committed to be released. The Shape-ups and stealth marks EasyTone were successful.

Sales rose to 2010, he retired to consumers that regulators about the accuracy of ads touting the benefits of health shoes, toners were relegated to the trash off.

But consumers are convinced that tone only rarely bought athletic shoes for $ 100 or more would pay for the fitness-oriented footwear, said Kerry Jackson, CFO of Shoe Carnival, a discount store in Evansville, Indiana-based

Toning truly captured "the interests of consumers in better health," said Jackson, the buyer now pass light in the same way, he says. Shoe Carnival now has several pairs of more than $ 100, and Jackson said he expected the Olympics to boost sales, such as innovations brand new rule in the run up to promote the games.
Ad Feedback

The course "casualization" of society has also inspired sales of shoes, according to Chris Svezia, an analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group in New York.

"We have more and more casual every ten years," said Svezia. "That in itself does not translate into good sales of athletic footwear, but it helps."

The demand for sneakers has helped manufacturers, retailers improve margins due to price increases to buyers, which in turn help to recover increased costs of raw materials, and labor may occur in Asia.

"We've been through these price increases, like butter," says Matt Powell, an analyst at SportsOneSource in Scarborough, Maine.

The rise of sports shoes will last as well as basketball and cross training shoes has become easier Svezia. However, the shift to consumer purchases of clothing or accessories, year, year compared to year are difficult, and the Olympics happen once every four years, he said.

"I see nothing on the horizon that seems to fall as the wheels are doing," said Svezia. Moreover, continued growth next year will be "a much bigger obstacle" to be.

How to Pick Running Shoes

If you are a runner or walker, you need the right shoes. When confronted with a wall of colorful sneakers, the choices can be confusing and overwhelming. Many women make that choice based on style or color, and not the form or purpose. Your athletic shoes can be as cute as can be, but if they fit improperly, can deformities of the feet back and hip pain causes and more. How do you choose the right shoe for you?

Consider foot. Their feet measured search, not only for the length, but also for the width. If your shoes are too loose, it may tend to form bubbles or drops. If they are too narrow, this causes problems, too. Many people think they know what size shoes they wear, because they can be the same size for years, but take things as pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and age cause you to change your feet. The shoes are also different in size from one manufacturer to another, so be prepared to discuss many shoes.

One of the most important things you should do is to ensure that the sheet is in the correct position. Arches of every person are different, so getting the right size does not guarantee a proper fit in the arch. Help if you have trouble with the shoes must fit well, you see a podiatrist and get custom orthotics, and you can protect your feet and increase the comfort during your workout.

Consider your budget.Sports shoes can be very expensive, especially if you are buying a premium brand or need a special kind of shoe. However, if you have about how much you can make your running shoes and the effects on the body believe it, it may be worth the cost to go with a better shoe.

One thing you can do to get good quality shoes can be found with a sales budget is to look around the shop. Do you buy with a friend and share the "Buy One Get One" discounts. Get to know the friendly staff at your favorite store for you, when out of the new models of shoes, and then see if the size is on sale soon in the colors of the last season or styles.

Consider activity. Sport shoes that are lightweight and ideal for running, are not necessarily right for hiking. Think about the work he does. Sports such as tennis and aerobics require quick changes of direction and a lot of movement from side to side. Running on a track or treadmill requires most progress movement. Hiking requires you to move your body on uneven surfaces in almost all directions.

When choosing a sports shoes, let the seller know, do what work is what helps you choose the right style is to be performed for foot movements. Let your heart device in cute shoes with accents of pink and yellow run, and try to force them to adapt their system of trails. Form and function should take precedence over style.

Nike's marketing strategy

Nike promotes its products by sponsorship agreements with celebrity athletes, professional teams and college sports teams. However, Nike's marketing mix contains many elements in addition to promotion. These are summarized below.

Advertising
In 1982, Nike aired its first national TV spots, created by the newly formed advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy (W + K), during the broadcast of the New York Marathon. This was the beginning of a successful partnership between Nike and W + K, which remains intact today. The Cannes Advertising Festival has named Nike Advertiser of the Year in 1994 and 2003 and is the first and only company to receive this honor twice.
Nike also has the Emmy Award for best commercial twice since the award was first created in the 1990s deserves. The first was for "The Morning After," a satirical look at what could be a runner on the morning of 1 January 2000 set if every dire prediction about Y2K came into play. The second was for a 2002 spot called "Move", which presented a number of famous and everyday athletes in a variety of sporting activities.
In addition to Slumdog Millionaire awards, however, has produced its fair share of Nike advertising controversy.

Beatles Song
Nike has been criticized for his use of the Beatles song "Revolution" in 1987 in a commercial against the wishes of Apple Records, the Beatles' record company. Nike paid $ 250,000 to Capitol Records Inc., the North American licensing rights to the recordings used instead, for the right to play the Beatles for a year.
Apple sued Nike Inc., Capitol Records Inc., EMI Records Inc. and Wieden + Kennedy for $ 15 million. Capitol-EMI countered by saying the lawsuit was "groundless" because Capitol had the use of "Revolution" with the license "active support and encouragement of Yoko Ono Lennon, a shareholder and managing director of Apple."
According to a ninth November 1989 Article in the Los Angeles Daily News ", a tangle of lawsuits between the Beatles and their American and British record companies has been settled." A condition of the out-of-court settlement was that terms of the agreement would have thought to be kept secret. , Yoko Ono, and Apple, EMI and Capitol Records surviving Beatles George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr: The settlement was reached between the three parties involved. A spokesman for Yoko Ono noted. "There is a bewildering variety of questions that are even people who are close to the customer a difficult time grasping it to have lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic, probably put their children through college on this issue. "
Nike discontinued airing ads with "Revolution" in March 1988. Yoko Ono later gave permission to Nike to use John Lennon on "Instant Karma" in another promotion.

Minor Threat advertising
End of June 2005, Nike criticism by Ian MacKaye, owner of Dischord Records, guitarist / vocalist for Fugazi and The Evens, and frontman of the disbanded punk band Minor Threat, for appropriating images and text from Minor Threat in 1981 self-titled album cover art in a flyer promoting Nike Skateboarding's 2005 East Coast demo tour.
On 27 Nike Skateboarding June issued an apology on the website at Dischord, Minor Threat, and fans of both announced and that they have tried to remove and dispose of all flyers. They explained that the people who designed it and skateboarders Minor Threat fans themselves, the advertising out of respect and appreciation were created for the band. The dispute was eventually settled out of court between Nike and Minor Threat. The exact details of the settlement were not disclosed.

Chinese-themed advertising
In 2004, a display of beat LeBron James cartoon martial arts masters and slaying a Chinese dragon with martial arts offended Chinese authorities that the ad blasphemous and insulting to national dignity and the Dragon. The ad was later banned in China. In the spring of 2007 the indicator was set in China, again for unknown reasons.

Nike 6.0
The company rolled out a new campaign in June 2011 as "Nike 6.0", which was aimed at extreme sports. As part of the campaign, Nike introduced a new line of T-shirts that phrases like "dope", "Get High" and "Ride-pipe" belong - sports jargon, which is also an ambiguity for drug use. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino expressed his objections to the shirts, after they in a shop window in town Niketown and asked the store to remove the display. Said, "What we do not need is a big company like Nike is trying to appeal to the younger generation, to pay out beliefs drug use," The Boston Herald Menino. One company said that the official shirts were paid only a tribute to extreme sports is meant, and that Nike does not condone the illegal use of drugs. Nike was forced to replace the T-shirt line.

Sponsorship
Nike pays top athletes in many sports to use their products and to promote and advertise their technology and design.
Nike's first professional athlete endorser was Romanian tennis player Ilie Nastase. The first track endorser was distance runner Steve Prefontaine. Prefontaine was the coveted Student of the company co-founder Bill Bowerman while he coached at the University of Oregon. Today the building Steve Prefontaine in his honor at the corporate headquarters is named for Nike.
Besides Prefontaine, Nike has also many other successful athletes over the years sponsored, such as Carl Lewis, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Sebastian Coe. However, it is the signing of basketball player Michael Jordan in 1984, with his subsequent promotion of Nike over the course of his storied career with Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon, that proved to be one of the biggest boosts to Nike's advertising and sales.
During the past 20 years especially, Nike is one of the most important items of clothing and footwear sponsors for leading tennis player was. Some of the most successful tennis players are sponsored now or formerly James Blake, Jim Courier, Roger Federer, Lleyton Hewitt, Juan Martin del Potro, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal, Pete Sampras, Marion Bartoli, Lindsay Davenport, Daniela Hantuchova, Mary Pierce, Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams.

Nike Production

Nike is more than 700 stores around the world under contract and has offices in 45 countries outside the United States. Most of the factories are located in Asia, including Indonesia, China, Taiwan, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Pakistan, the Philippines and Malaysia. Nike is hesitant to provide information about the contract companies it works with to disclose. Due to harsh criticism from some organizations like CorpWatch, Nike has information about its contract factories in its Corporate Governance Report.

Human rights issues
Sweatshops
Nike has been criticized for contracts with factories (also known as Nike sweatshops) in countries such as China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Mexico. Vietnam Labor Watch, an activist group, has documented that factories have a contract from Nike, minimum wage and overtime laws violated in Vietnam as late as 1996, although Nike claims that this practice was stopped. The company has been subject to much critical coverage of the often poor working conditions and exploitation of cheap labor overseas in the free trade zones where their goods are produced usually used. Sources of this criticism is Naomi Klein's book No Logo and Michael Moore documentaries.
In the 1990s, Nike faced criticism for using child labor in Cambodia and Pakistan in the factories, he asked to make soccer balls. Although Nike took action to contain or at least reduce the practice, they continue their production to companies in areas where making inadequate regulation and supervision is difficult to ensure that child labor is not used for contract operated.
In 2001 a BBC documentary revealed prevalence of child labor and poor working conditions in a Cambodian factory used by Nike. The documentary about six girls who all worked seven days a week, often 16 hours a day focused.
Campaigns of many colleges and universities, especially anti-globalization groups, as well as several anti-sweatshop groups such as the United Students Against Sweatshops taken. Despite these campaigns, however, Nike has annual revenues of U.S. $ 6.4 billion in 1996 to nearly U.S. $ 17 billion in 2007, reported after the annual press conference of the company.
A study of July 2008 by the Australian Channel 7 News found a large number of cases in which forced labor in one of the largest clothing manufacturer Nike. The factory in Malaysia was found by an undercover crew, the instances of squalid living conditions and forced labor filmed. Nike has declared that it take corrective action to ensure that abuse does not continue.
From July 2011, Nike said that two thirds of its factories for the production of Converse products still do not meet the company standards for worker treatment. July 2011 An Associated Press article stated that employees reported in the factories in Indonesia constant abuse from superiors.

Olympic Games in China
Nike also sparked controversy during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, when its sponsored athlete Liu Xiang Chinese, the Olympic 110 meters hurdles back and left the track after a false start by another competitor. Liu said that he withdrew because of an ankle injury. However, an anonymous message on the Internet was published, allegedly from a source close to Nike, and claimed that the company forced Liu to retire when he was hardly to be gained so that tarnish their image. Nike responded by announcing that "we have immediately asked relevant [Chinese] government departments, the ones to investigate the rumor."

Nike Origins and History

Nike, originally as Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS) announced by the University of Oregon track athlete Philip Knight and his coach Bill Bowerman founded in January 1964. The company serves first as a distributor for Japanese shoe manufacturer Onitsuka Tiger (now Asics), so most sales at track meets out of Knight's car.
After Otis Davis, a student, the athlete Bowerman at the University of Oregon, who trained later to win 1-2 gold medals at the 1960 Olympics, was Bowerman's first pair of Nike shoes for him, contrary to the assertion that they made were for Phil Knight. Says Davis, "I told Tom Brokaw that I was the first. I do not care to say what all the billionaires. Bill Bowerman made the first pair of shoes for me. People do not believe me. In fact, I do not way they felt on my feet. There was no support, and they were too tight. But I saw it Bowerman make the waffle iron, and they were mine. "
The profit of the company grew rapidly, and in 1967, BRS opened its first store on Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica, California. By 1971 the relationship between BRS and Onitsuka Tiger was nearing an end. BRS prepared his own line of shoes that would wear the swoosh redesigned by Carolyn Davidson to start. The swoosh of Nike was first on the 18th June 1971 and was used at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office 22nd Registered in January 1974.
