Shoes - Nike Zoom Air URL

The Nike Zoom Air URL is a high tech, high quality skate shoe. Nike jammed a lot into this one, with extra cushioning inside (they're nice!), ultra durrable suede or leather upper, and a very nice grippy sole for more control when skating. Add to that that the shoes look great, with piles of color schemes to choose from (thirteen at the moment!), and you can't go wrong.

Nike URLs are a great, versatile skate shoe packed with features that come from Nike's long history of shoe design. A lot of these features have strange names, but they all translate to some nice comfort. Your feet will thank you for wearing these shoes. Just make sure you try on URLs that are half a size larger - Nike skate shoes tend to run a bit small. So, if you live too far from an official vendor to buy them from so you're shopping on line, you might want to get your shoes a little bigger.

Beyond comfort, those technical features add a lot to your riding. The sticky rubber soles are awesome. They cut away a lot right at your arch, which you don't see very much in skate shoes. This does make the URLs look even more like running shoes, but that really doesn't matter, does it? What matters is how well the shoe works for skating, and this design actually helps a lot. With a shape closer to your foot's, you have more control, and the sticky grippy rubber of the sole wraps up the sides and on the toe and heel a bit, to add even more control right where you want it. One drawback though is that the shoes have no special toe caps - so, if you get the ones with suede one them like mine, you are going to rip that up. But, if you skate, you know that ripping up your shoes is inevitable, and Nike has done as much as they can by making the suede super durable. If you tend to rip up the toes of your shoes, you might want to try something besides suede.
