Nike Air Relentless 3 Review
by cstone412cs
Overall Grade- D
Price- $59.99
Relentless is right- Relentless Pain!
Overall feeling- BIG Disappointed! Very sad!
If you’ve been reading or on Facebook you know that I am on a diet and have been exercising. I had old sneakers that were an emergency buy from Walmart. I couldn’t thnk of anything else that I wanted for my recent bday so I wanted a nice looking and functional shoe. I though a sweet looking pair of Nikes or similar brand would be awesome. I wanted them for walking around the track, park or neighborhood and I wanted to look cute doing it. I also needed the same pair to be able to be worn after exercising to run errands and stuff.
I saw these black ones with all my favorite colors included. Obviously I had to have them!
I loved the color scheme because they’d basically match everything and they’re adorable!
Being cute is pretty much all they’re good for!
After wearing them for about 20 minutes or less the first time, and second, I got sharp pains in the ball of my foot and my toes went numb and felt like a cramping sensation. They felt nice around the middle of my foot. But the tip of my foot, from the ball to toes was in awful pain even for a while after taking off!
If you’re thinking to buy them just for style and not a lot of walking, go for it. But if you’re buying for exercise or walking or anything like that- I don’t recommend.
Also, black part (not the mesh, the hard black stuff like the ‘suede’ type feel) got dirty/sandy looking very easily, it cleaned ok with a wet paper towel though. The blue part also got dirty but didn’t clean well.
I’m so sad because I saw these and had to have them. They were my bday gift to myself. We are a one paycheck household (as you know is the point of this blog) so I can’t see keeping them just for fashion and buying another pair for my exercising. (I’d love to but it’s not going to happen!)
I’m hoping to try to return them since worn twice and switch for another cute but functional pair. I doubt I will find one as nice looking as these! So sad!
How sad! These are totally cute! I hear you, about wanting to find some good tennis shoes that look cute AND support your feet. I’m more into finding shoes that feel good, rather than strictly for style. I’m currently in love with the brand Ryka for my tennis shoe needs. I have Plantar Fasciitis and these shoes help with all of my foot pain; while providing me comfort when exercising! Here’s a link for ALL of their “tennis shoe” related products; from QVC: http://www.qvc.com/CatalogSearch?langId=-1&storeId=10251&catalogId=10151&keyword=ryka+tennis+shoes
Too bad. I really like the colors.

Sorry to hear they didn’t work out for you! I’m definitely not exercising like I should, but last summer when I TRIED to start again I really researched shoes because I wanted to do it right – Asics are extremely good for jogging/running type of thing, so I got a pair and they are seriously the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn! Really cute too imo. I wanted Nike because of the brand but decided not to because they weren’t at the top of the list for performance when it comes to that sort of thing. At least not the ones that were in my price range haha.
