When I was shopping for new shoes for my son, I found the Zappos website. The prices seemed reasonable so I proceeded to read the reviews of others before deciding to buy from them. We found shoes that my son liked. The reviews said the shoes ran a little small, so I ordered a 1/2 a size larger and when they arrived they fit perfectly. He loves them. The service was good too. They actually shipped the same day as I ordered them and they came about 3-4 days earlier than the expected delivery date. What a good online shopping experience.

First off, I never heard of Zappos until I found it on a search engine. I usually buy my sneakers at Modell\'s and for the past couple of pairs have been Overplay IV\'s. They didn\'t have the Nike Overplay IV in white this time so I had to look elsewhere. \r\nI love the Overplay IV. Not too flashy, the color scheme goes with everything. I\'ve worn them to dinner many times...with a jacket of course. They are comfortable and I never have to worry about a break in period.

Nike...not bad - This is my first pair of basketball shoes in 30 years. I prefer New Balance running shoes, and have hated every pair of Nike running shoes I’ve ever had. But I tried these and they are excellent, on my first couple of wearings on the court. I'll try to get the same model when I need another pair.

My son loves his Nike Overplay IV's - Bought these for my 14yo son for basketball, and he's been wearing them to practice in for two weeks. He loves them and says they're very comfortable. They seem to fit true to size, and they look great out on the court. Thanks Zappos!

Great service and shoes. This is only the second time I brought shoes here and wasnt dissapointed at all. Will buy again and hope you will buy here also. Saves you money and time and they get the shoes to you in a timely manner.

I like the design very much. The look isn't very good, I have the BLACK/BLACK shoe and it almost looks like high heels and also almost looks like a pair of soccer cleats.

The sneakers were for my husband as he has a difficult time finding shoes that feel good and fit well. These did both fit well and look great and were comfortable too.

I purchased this shoe for my son and we were both very happy with the fit, which was true to size. And the look and style and comfort was everything we wanted.

Great Shoe - Daughter loves them for Basketball. You will need to order 1 size bigger than you are though. Zappos did a great job as usual with exchange of correct size!!

You need to upsize - My husband really wears a Size 9 and the 9 1/2 was snug. Good looking shoe and is wearing well with the extra support at the ankle.

These are cheap and crappy. I bought these shoes before last basketball season. I have never had ankle problems before until I bought these. I sprained my ankle three times during the season because these shoes have no support at all. I could not run or jump high in them. They are worth less than $60. I went ahead and spent $150 on the new Kobe IVs and that was the best investment ever. They are worth every cent. Buy those instead.

Too Stiff - I play basketball on a team and these shoes are way too stiff and do not provide me with the arch support that I need and would expect from Nike. A real disappointment. I ended up switching to my And1s which are much more comfortable and provide excellent support.

Nice shoe - not for me - I love the "look" of the shoe, but for a guy with a narrow foot and a long-time Nike customer, this shoe was too wide, particularly in the toe box.

Too heavy - These shoes fit well, but they are just too heavy. If you are playing on a black-top, too hot.

Decent - Good shoe, not the greatest look but plenty of ankle support, holding up well so far.
