Nike Dualtone Racer
The Nike Dualtone Racer is supposed to be the next step up from the Nike Flyknit Racer. However, many reviewers have cited the Dualtone as being the “cheap version” of the Flyknit; although the Dualtone is meant to be bigger and better, in some respects Nike may have failed. The Dualtone is inspired by the track, but created for the street; as such, it isn’t the ideal running shoe, but it works. Notable features include the breathable two-tone mesh upper; the dual-density cushioning that provides support; and the webbed rubber outsole. The shoe certainly has its cons: the outsole and tongue are not very durable, the shoe doesn’t offer much in the way of protection, it’s uncomfortable, and the traction isn’t quite up to par either. However, the shoe is easy to clean and maintain. It’s comfortable and breathable, plus flexible and responsive. And it absolutely knocks it out of the park when it comes to style. Let’s dive a little deeper into the features of the Dualtone Racer.
- Webbed rubber outsole
- Smooth wide midsole
- Upper is a breathable mesh
- Style is simple, clean, and sleek
- The shoe is very cheap
- Not very comfortable
- Outsole and tongue are not durable

- Total wowability for being so light, being so stable and being so supportive, I will buy these again and again for as long as I can get them.
- Very easy to keep clean and looking stylish for each or any occasion. I can wear these for anyplace because the shoe looks good enough for just about any occasion and its super comfy when I wear it, even all day.
- Nike is boss, super comfortable, fantastic color style and absolutely comfortable all day long, indoor sports, local jogging these work for everything and fit in as a nice casual sneaker.
- As soon as I put them on I got super dooper light shoes with a fit which just feels perfect, the shoe inner holds my foot comfortably and I get constant comfort. Great sneaker for summer
- These are a very good pair of shoes, top quality, top fit, top comfort, top color styling, I can tell you all these are a top shoe and worth buying.
- this shoe is great nice quality for the given price. It Fits really perfectly. I like to use it the gym, for running, for everyday casual wear. It’s the most comfortable shoes I have seen for a long time.
- The shoe looked simply amazing but I had ordered a size too small by accident and I was sooo let down by myself. Certainly are worth the price though. I got them changed and I love the all day wear factor and so comfortable.
- Well done Nike you went for comfort, style and usability and I gave you 4.5 for stars because you got it right, excellent multi usable shoe for casual and sports.
- Total wowability for being so light, being so stable and being so supportive, I will buy these again and again for as long as I can get them.
- I use these for working and they give such comfort while also looking good, I also use these for running and they are great for summer running or running in the fall weather. Happy to tell others it’s a great shoe.
- I fell in love with the snazzy design and flexy material for the upper shoe, my feet perspire a lot usually but in these shoes they really don’t and it’s really easy to wipe them clean.
- I saw some negative comments about the sole and heel and I can’t figure out why because I have not had any problems at all so far. Grip and comfort seem really workable and good and not much signs for any wear problems, very nice FIT too impressive.
- I was looking for a shoe that gives a stunning silhouette because I think if I look good then I do feel good and the bonus with these shoes for me is the fit and long comfort, I can wear these all day.
- My feet are difficult wide and I noticed the upper for these has stretch so I got a pair and bingo I was right, running in these is totally comfortable and no stinky itchy feet problems.
- It has to be said that the price is so nice and look at what I got, really colorful styling, lots of comfort, the upper is stretchy I was not sure if thats good but now I love this point. For the price I got everything that I need.
- How do Nike do it, when it comes to a great fit shoe with so much color appeal, if I could afford it I would buy each color, this shoe is cool and rides well for running.
- When I got the shoes I touched the material on the upper shoe and thought these wont feel stable and they will get creases, I was wrong, very stable shoe and no ugly creases. The overall shoe is durable, I know these are going to last a long time.
- With shorts, huggy pants or jeans my shoes look like they were designed to compliment my choice of clothes, for sports I am more than happy to say these perform. Going to buy again.
- These do bother me on the back heel, they look nice and comfortable though but I do have issues with the dull ache I get from the heel after I have took a run. I’m not sure whats going on but the shoe feels a bit flat footed.
- I have wide toes and the fit for me is troublesome, the main shoes sits well on my foot but my toes feel squashed.
- The shoe works for me until I feel my toes, for a short run no problems but for a longer run I think the shoe needs to give more toe space.
- I was surprised, I got heel blisters, is it me, my choice of sock or the shoe design? I took a break and used the shoe again, different socks, I still got heel blister, still trying to figure out whats going on?
- I have slightly wider feet and I was cautious about the shoe but the stretch in the upper worked out for me, for awhile I was getting heel blisters which I really don’t want but now the shoe is broke in, no more blisters.
- The sole let me down, I run a lot but I think the wearing out rate is too quick, I do run roads and light trails and I think Nike need to toughen up the sole.
