I bought these earlier on in the year but it was so hot during the summer that it is only recently I have been wearing these with any regularity and they are flipping amazing. I am seriously in love with these sneaks!
The Mayfly was originally designed by Nike as a shoe for marathon runners. The uppers are made of black suede and are perforated to increase airflow around the foot and keep feet cool. The perforations are threaded with a contrasting band of light grey suede and the shoe is lined with a breathable beige micromesh.
These shoes are ultra lightweight, they are so comfortable. The sole is flexible and bouncy yet still feels supportive. In the past I have had problems with the laces that Nike supply which have a tendency to slip and come undone but the flat waxed cotton laces in the Mayfly not only look stylish they also remain tied. Another design feature that I like about the Mayfly is that there isn't a Nike swoosh on the outside which I think updates them from being a trainer/sneaker to a casual shoe.
I have been wearing these a lot around town and can see that a repurchase will be in order when they wear out.
Nike Mayfly cost $120.00 and are also available in maroon suede with a red contrasting strip.
