I use to run a lot back in the 70’s.
Bought a pair of high end (at the time) Nikes.
They were so unstable that they nearly ruined my knees.
Went to New Balance and have worn them ever since.

Nike’s demented trip into wokism guarantees I’ll never try them again.

I’ve been a New Balance guy for as long as they’ve been around.

My experience was about the same. My only pair of Nikes, back around 1980, nearly crippled me. After that I went to New Balance, except for a pair of Adidas that were great but of course they quit making them. Quit running in the mid-90s because of my knees, but I can still walk pretty well.

Amen to that!! I'd never buy any of their crap. Their trip into the most vile, anti-American Kapernick Land made me barf. I "just did it" and said I'll never, ever buy your junk.
