With her latest sneakers at 139 euros, Zara has definitely marked the blow. As expensive as a pair of Nike, are they really worth the (ur) cost? We tell you everything.
Nothing is resistant to Zara: the Spanish label is the place of pilgrimage of countless fashionistas. Trends and various and varied universes – fashion, beauty, decoration, and lately, activewear – The claw can boast, successfully, anything that makes trendy news. After embarking on the ski clothing market, she now attacks other technical sports such as running, with sneakers that we dream of having at our feet.
But if Zara has always offered badly stylish sneakers, what are they worth in terms of quality? The release of this last running sneaker still raises the issue of the value for money. Indeed, it is sold for 139 euros – almost the price of a pair of Nike … rather unprecedented. Many experienced athletes, stunned by the claw proposal, have decided to test it in their sports practice and provide their analysis … What to allow the editorial staff to tell you if it’s worth investing. If Zara succeeds in this technical bet, we are entitled to say that all their classic sneakers are qualitative. Verdict.
Aesthetic level, no complaints: specialists highlight the resemblance between the style of Zara sneakers and those of other stylish sports equipment manufacturers such as Nike (with the Air Zoom Alphafly) or Saucony. Not worn, the only question concerns the imposing silhouette of shoes: they could weigh heavy once put on the foot and harm the comfort of the main interested party. “I had to check that I had bought the right size”explains a surfer.
Technical side, what about? A runner tested them on a 5 -kilometer jogging and his return is rather positive. “Of very good quality for the price. Taking into account that they come from fast fashion, they are respectable. They are very solid and very responsive too, a lot of propulsion forward, a lot of responsiveness in the sole, which is cool. I did not feel too heavy in the race.”
However, perfection does not exist, even in the aesthetically licked world of fashionistas. Conor Aaron Thus emits some doubts concerning the finishes and sustainability of the Godasse. “Just the laces are crazy and I have the feeling that all the front of the shoe is not going to last too long, it looks like something that could easily stand out.” A common problem with a number of ephemeral fashion brands, ultimately.
So if you plan to buy sneakers only for the love of style, which will not be put to the track test, the sneakers of the Iberian label are enough!
