How is everyone doing? I can't believe we're at the end of February. This month flew! I'm really looking forward to the fit reviews I have planned for March. I've got a fit request for the Throwback Flashback Pullover, an Athleta haul, and my own Lululemon picks. I'm pretty excited!
For today's review we have the Nobull Blue Opal Iridescent Ripstop Runner. I fell in love with these when I saw them debut on their Instagram page. I mean how awesome are they??
For reference my street size is 5.5. I also wear size 5.5 in most Allbirds. For Nobull, I find they tend to run large. I sized down half a size.

I have never seen a shoe with this kind of iridescent-rainbow reflection. It's so beautiful. In the unboxing video I posted I show how the shoe looks in all it's rainbow glory. They really do glow in the dark. It did not disappoint! Definitely check out the video, it's a short two minute clip. In natural lighting the shoe has an ombre effect from dark blue to purple.

The colors are absolutely mesmerizing. These run large and I sized down half a size. I find Nobull generally runs large. That said, they are just ever so slightly too perfect in the width. I only wear them for casual walking and have not used them for running or training because they feel just a touch narrow so I don't want to do anything serious in these. For exercising I would want a little more room in the toe box. These are comfortable enough for walking, but I hesitate to do anything extra in these. That's just my personal experience with this style.
I love the grippy soles.
These are made of lightweight perforated ripstop polyester material that's breathable. The laces are flat. The lug sole provides plenty of traction. These feel like a neutral shoe with moderate cushioning. They're not bouncy like my Allbirds.
I've been wearing these for a few months now and I do love them for everyday/casual walking. They have held up well and I really enjoy wearing them. Would I buy them again? I would if they released these in another crazy color. I can't imagine that they can top the iridescent colors, but you never know what they can come up with these days! That's all I have today and hope you have a fantastic week!

Omg the iridescent color is sooooooooo pretty and cool! I would love to know how it glows in the dark lol! You’ll have to take pictures, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteI just received my Allbirds Tree Dasher Relay in Calm Teal and the color is even prettier than expected! They are expensive but well worth it!

Hi Andrea! It is the coolest shoe I have. I did show how it looks all lit up in my Youtube video. There's a good clip of it there.
DeleteOhhhh the Calm Teals look nice!! I may have to get myself a pair in March! Glad you love them!
Oh I did watch the video but didn’t realize the fit review was taken in the dark lol. The iridescent color is mesmerizing like you said!
DeleteI guess the indoor lighting hits the shoe a certain way, makes it glow and turns on the iridescent colors. It's so cool to see!
DeleteIt's so pretty! 212 cdn...Hmm. it's designed to be a runner but you find they aren't good for running? That's...too bad? 😅
ReplyDeleteHi Blueberries! LOL, I think it's because I had to size down, and while it fits perfectly in length, it's a smidge too narrow. I never thought I had wide feet, but maybe I have slightly wide feet? Probably just me, I'm sure people do run in these though!
Deletehi Leslie! Thanks for the fit review! I love the iridescent blue/purple and the way they shine in the dark is too cool!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! I think these are the coolest pair of sneakers I have. =)
