Shoes a pretty bright, but if you don't care what they look like and care about how they perform, then consider these. I bought these over Nano 5.0s simply because reviews said there wasn't that too much of a difference. Apparently the 5.0s are better for running, but I don't plan on doing much running in these. The heel feels great when doing any Olympic lift and nice whenever doing box jumps. I would recommend these shoes, especially at the price ($79).
