A lot of those new Nike shoes look like they are made of mesh and would be ripped to shreds after 2 minutes of actual skating.
Obviously that's probably not true, but they all just look like running shoes.

Nope, I don't intend to skate anything from Nike besides Blazers Mid and maaaaaybe the lows.

I am skating these right now, the blue version was heavily discounted so cheap enough to try out.
It has some good points and bad points.
It's a narrow fit, and with the fly-wire system, you can tighten it without feeling like it only tightens the top laces/part of your foot. Without any shifting of your feet in the shoe, it helps with your proprioception. Even though it might feel uncomfortable at first, I think it's a good thing. That said it's slightly too narrow at the front of my feet which impacts my big toe on the sides slightly. The length is normal, so I wouldn't size up or down.
The rubber clearly holds up much longer then a regular suede shoe, and if you clean it a bit it doesn't even show the damage on the material. I think you have to go through the edge of the sole first to get any holes on the front of the shoes. The material below my ankle bone fucked up in a few days because switch/nollie heels hit just above the rubber part for me. Flipping is definitely different with this material, and it stays different throughout. You get used to it pretty fast, but I definitely prefer regular suede once it's broken in. These stay very firm even after skating for some time. Another bad point is how the laces are positioned, they seem to rip after 2 sessions.
So overall not a bad shoe, especially if you can get it at a good discount.

I'm not being dramatic I literally had a hard time giving these away for free on SLAP. I tried to put them amongst a bunch of boards and shit and pretty sure whoever won it asked me not to send the shoes lol. I got them discounted as well but the arch was way too stiff made my feet numb. They definitely last crazy long though.

recent evidence suggests that no one is wearing this shoe despite being in major markets. i am more likely to come across someone wearing lakais than to come across someone wearing this shoe.

Needs more data, we need a dilution refrigerator, I can provide the helium isotopes with adequate mixing properties for absolute zero. We need to protect the qubits from thermal noise I'm thinking a fuck ton of stickers or something. We really are gonna be relying on someone to arrive with cryogenic isolates though or else we will never be able to preserve the signal strength. I'm thinking in 30 years or so we could have a map of the lives and emotions of every person who has ever considered buying the nyjah shoe. We could even map out nyjah himself. We could change him, we could make him stronger.

proprioception
Gonna try and remember this one for scrabble.

Tried a pair on in the store far to narrow in the forefoot for me.
-
no

I ran a pair I got discounted on a skate trip and it honestly ruined the whole trip. I couldn’t get down with them. Got a pair of Reynolds and never wore the nyjahs again
-
Where are y’all finding these on discount? I go through shoes really fast and wouldn’t mind trying these if they last a long time
-
wanted to gather everyone up for a round-table discussion to see what weve uncovered and what further questions remain.
why hasnt any other nike pro worn these?
Why hasnt any other colorway deserving skater picked this silhouette for their release (like tx and busenitz) ?
what do these look like with jeans on?
