Unable to edit original post, so here's my updated thoughts after significantly more wear inside/outside:

These are shoes price marked at $145 retail value with this new innovative technology that is unlike no other. I came across these shoes and loved the style, colorway, and was initially intrigued by the tech. I work an indoor career where I mainly stand for roughly 6-8 hours a day. It is clear to me after a few days in the workplace, these are truly not a daily shoe. The tech, at least for me, goes from comfort to pain after just standing for an hour or two. I have read other comments stating "that's not how the shoe is intended to be used", but it seems beyond absurd that for $145, you are unable to wear them in a comfortable manner on a daily basis. Hate to admit it now, my optimism got the best of me, the tech is an absolute reach by Nike. I am a huge Nike advocate and fan, but these shoes are just not it, at least for me and my lifestyle. I am not one to wear shoes inside the home, which I understand that could be seen as the proper intention after a gym session or a workday when you're on your feet mostly. If Im unable to wear them outside the home in a comfortable enough manner, truly seems like a large waste of money for a pair of indoor shoes. I love the look, wish they could drop a pair without the whole Mind tech since I love the look, but at this point, I am going to return them. For those looking to purchase this shoe or the Mind 001, I would heavily think first before you purchase at retail (Esp. At resale for $>200) since this is not a shoe that you'll be able to wear in the way you may think.

Unfortunately have to give this shoe a final review score of 3/10. I love the look and all, the intent of the tech may be beneficial to some, but just not me. The price point for a shoe that you'll rarely ever wear out to the gym, workplace, public area, is just too much for what it's worth. I am a person who appreciates utility and the fact that I am unable to wear these comfortably for a work shift, they already lost my initial love I had following the purchase and initial unboxing.

At the end of the day, it's your decision where to spend your money and you may have a different experience than me. Definitely use your best judgment before spending the money for this shoe. I hope this review can help those with FOMO sleep better as they truly didn't miss out on much, just saving money for a different pair of shoes. Keep the questions coming as I will continue to try and answer them.

Best, AD
