6 months later.
I bought these 6 months ago and am quite happy with the comfort level. But I am disappointed with the rest of the shoe. Brand new, the shoe looks great. Within a few days though, the sole of the shoe has completely changed color. IT gets dirty very quickly. Cleaning the bottom is pointless as it will just immediately get dirty again. The clear part to see the beads gets very dirty also. Kind of embarrassing to have such dirty shoes but they are very comfortable.Just recently, I noticed a tear in the inside of both shoes. The little balls are now coming out. I now have duct tape inside both of my shoes to prevent them from all coming out. I am disappointed at how dirty they get and the durability of it. I would only buy these shoes again if they are in the 60 dollar ... MoreI bought these 6 months ago and am quite happy with the comfort level. But I am disappointed with the rest of the shoe.

I would only buy these shoes again if they are in the 60 dollar range because of the issues I have. If they had lasted a year I would be willing to pay more for them.Size: I am a 10.5 but bought 11 since my size was not available. I don't have any issue going a half size bigger but I do notice it in the heel occasionally. I tried a 10 and it did not fit.... Show more

Better than expected!
Ever since these were released, I've been on the fence about getting them. As much as I am a sucker for tech & innovation I didn't move as quickly as I have done in the past with other releases. Maybe it was the silo, maybe it was the overall gimmicky feeling that I got, I don't know.I finally decided to go ahead and try a pair since now the price was reasonable and I'm so happy I did! I ordered my TTS and they fit me perfectly. The flyknit upper is snug and the medial neoprene does expand to give you that bit of a flex option. As a recovery intended shoe, the cushioning has been stellar. I couldn't see myself logging a lot of miles in these, but those post run, post athletic casual outings are ideal for these.Overall, I would recommend them and to all those who ...

Great performance, but not built to last
I bought Nike Joyride Run FlyKnit Men's Running Shoe in April when I started running as my primary firm of exercise because of covid. I had never purchased high end running shoes before but I decided to take the plunge. The shoes have been great. The are lite, extreme responsive and comfortable. Unfortunately, they are now falling apart. There are wear and tear holes in both heels that the little beads are leaking out of. Beyond the lost performance due to the leakage, I have a small child so I can't even have the shoes in the hose because I don't want him putting the leaked beads in his mouth. If it was only happening on one heel, I could have thought I got a bum pair or it got cut by something, but given that it's both, it seems like a design flaw. I'm extremely ...

Great Shoe
I have owned these shoes since October, and I will say flat out, these shoes are my everything. I got them when they were first released and I do not regret it. The shoe itself is all stretch excluding the bottom and the back. The bead/foam sole design makes your feet feel like you're walking on clouds. I have put these shoes through a lot. The gym, snow, rain, puddles, lots and lots of walking around my school, and a lot of other use to the mall and movies. They are still in good condition, except for the white, which is to be expected. If you want these shoes to stay in their true color when they come out of the box, wipe them down every week with a damp towel. Dont soak, just warm water and some scrubbing harder stains will suffice. I definitley recommend these ...

Love Them but...Not for Everyone
I bought these on Dick’s Sporting Goods after using the Joyride Dual Run and loving the beads system on those. I bought them primarily because (1) I loved how the black and green colorway looked and (2) I wanted to try the beads in the toe box. I have to say that my experience has been great. These are very comfortable but they definitely need to be broken into. When you try them on for the first time, they feel horrible and tight and it’s primarily because the beads in the toe box just feel weird. The best way to describe it; is like having a tennis ball on your toe box but once you go through that they are awesome. Light, comfortable, good looking and bouncy those are the best things about this shoe. If I can think of any cons is that they are snugged due to the ...

If I can think of any cons is that they are snugged due to the flynit (you should go half a size up) and some may not like that and the other thing is that they need to be broken into. With that being said, I think this shoe is definitely not for everyone and if you want to try the beads system you should first try the Joyride Dual Run and if you like those then go and try these out....

Portable Bounce House of Joy
Got multiple pairs of a shoe for the first time in my life thanks to the miracle of Joy Ride! Not only is the Joyride Flyknit so comfortable for me that I wear them like mocs at home and for the first time wear a shoe without socks for the sensation is like no other.At first you gotta break into them as the beads will first cause some pressure and overtime they lossen up a bit. Also the beads may not be in the right place but just give them a really nice shake or twist these bad boys without need to worry about damaging them as they are designed to be twisted and shaken to get the beads in the best spot for individual comfort before getting ready to bounce! Overtime I love the feeling as these beads remember and comform to your feet and give a slight sensation of ...

Overtime I love the feeling as these beads remember and comform to your feet and give a slight sensation of sinking into the beads yet still having a bounce it almost feels like it becomes non-newtonian when running which at times i do feel can slow you down with all that cushinioning however the bouciness really makes up the difference especially if you build up momentium. These shoes are unlike any other shoe they keep my legs feeling fresh when normally i feel beat up after some serious dashing (love 100 meter dashes). I feel for more longer runs however the dual run gets the job done and has a little more bounce to it from the dual design. If you love bounce houses you will love these shoes as they are the closest thing you will get in a shoe! 100/5 Stars! This technology is going places although people may not see it yet!... Show more

Super Comfortable, Limited Durability
These were the first shoes that didn't hurt my back. I played a decade of football and have back, knee, and ankle pain. Especially the knees. As soon as I started to walk around in these my back felt much better. I am bigger and most foam based shoes bottom out. After three months of wear these still feel brand new. Durability is the only issue. I wear these most days for work in a casual office setting and I wear them casually for errands. The tips of the shoes are already wearing down. Perhaps if it was available in a black foam it wouldn't wear as fast. Overall, these are comfortable running shoes, just wish they didn't wear as quickly for the price.... Show more

These shoes saved my life
The Nike Joyrides are easily the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever tried on. I had 2 surgeries on my feet, and it was impossibly hard to walk. These gave me a relief from my pain. I am a big boost fan, however these are significantly more comfortable. There are multiple flaws in the shoe that I'd like to see fixed. I know that this was the first joyride released. I hope they continue to make them better.1. I know they were made to reduce pressure on the knees. Nike did a fantastic job. However, turning in these are really hard because the flyknit is so thin and the sides are not as unsupportive. I would make them more supportive if possible.2. They are hot. The beads act as an insulator. They are worth the temperature change, but it would be awesome if you could ... MoreThe Nike Joyrides are easily the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever tried on.

When they get wet they squeak for 20ish minutes. Is it the end of the world?? No, but it's annoying.4. Make the material easier to clean. I got the white ones. after 5 times of wearing them they were a cream instead of white. I take good care of my shoes too.I hope Nike continues to make these shoes. Their potential is off the charts. These are a must buy. Easily the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn.... Show more

Unexpected comfort
I had no idea these shoes were as comfortable as they are. I read allot of reviews here's the honest truth because I'm heavy on reviews.This shoe fits pretty tight like a sock, you will need ATLEAST a half size bigger even maybea whole size up. I wear 11.5 and got a 12. The beads are ridiculous upon first wearing! Its different, but after 5 minutes they conform to your foot and I put these #1 in comfort in the shoes I own. Over the presto reacts, over vapormax! These joyride Nikes cushion your foot very well and make you want to run they are perfect. Now this review is strictly on casual wear and not actually running. On top of all this they were on sale even bigger score! I will buy my girl a pair and I'll probably get the dual joyrides on sale also. Just do it.... Show more
