ADARQ.ORG Officially Endorses Nike Zoom Waffle Racers
adarqui:
best.
shoes.
ever.
I do everything in these shoes now: casual, sprints, jog, plyos, lift, and even jump. If you decide to get a pair, take some time getting used to them, though performing max RVJ's in them might not be the best idea, since once you start jumping in these shoes you won't want to go back to basketball shoes. They are extremely light, very minimal shoes, without substantial "lateral support", but that's fine given that they have such a thin sole. This basically feels like you are barefoot, with a bit more ankle support. Another interesting aspect of these shoes is how "forefoot dominant" they make you: you get so much more spring off the ball of your foot in pretty much every movement, which is going to make sprints, jogging, plyos, jumps etc more powerful.
Anyway, here's a few pictures of the Nike Zoom Waffle Racer VI's ($29.99 USD on eastbay):
Not sure yet how the VII's feel, since I do not own a pair. Eventually I will update/modify this expressing my opinion on them.
peace
