Flex Experience Run 12 Road Running Shoe

Bought this for casual wear though I use the same line for running. It is NOT built the same as shoes I’ve bought through sports retailers. The material in the toe box does a weird wrinkle while walking/running. There is glue randomly all over it like the stringy glue remnant when you hit glue something. The inside foam is puffed up in the center. It doesn’t have the “Nike” word or swoosh common in most shoes. The lace openings look poorly crafted. Throughout he shoe is areas where the thread is loose on the stitching. There is also loose threads on the fabric itself. I’m keeping them only because I really wanted this color palette (light beige/peach) and it’s hard to find. These almost feel like knock-offs from DHGate. Not what I was expecting especially not for $75 dollars. Academy has better quality for a comparable prices. If the shoes were $20 cheaper I would recommend. This has been my only purchase from Nordstrom Rack so I don’t think I’ll be a repeat customer.
