Is the V5 RNR good for running?

It is a lifestyle retro runner, not a training shoe. The foam midsole is tuned for everyday comfort and walking, so use a dedicated running shoe for workouts.

How does the wide width fit compare to standard Nike shoes?

The wide width gives more room through the forefoot and midfoot than Nike's standard width. If you normally size up in narrow shoes, try your usual size here first.

How does it compare with the Nike P-6000 or New Balance 530?

The V5 RNR is chunkier and heavier-looking than both, with a thicker foam midsole. The P-6000 and 530 are sleeker; the V5 RNR wins on roominess and ankle padding.

Is the upper breathable in warm weather?

The mesh upper with synthetic overlays lets air through, so it handles warm days better than all-leather retro shoes. The padded collar adds warmth around the ankle.

What is the V5 RNR made of?

A mesh upper with synthetic leather overlays, a foam midsole and a rubber outsole with '00s-style grooves. Nike says it uses at least 20% recycled content by weight.
