Need opinions on runners !

So guys, after a long and tough 2 years my Adidas runners have finally given in.
I've been looking around for some new shoes/runners and stumbled across the Nike Shox and wanted to get some of your opinions.

http://www.footlocker.com.au/Product/Mens_1/Footwear_5/Running_10/NIKE-SHOX-NZ_2842/index.aspx

They're $200 but I can get a 20% discount because of my membership, so that will equate to $160.

Are they worth it ? can I get them for cheaper somewhere else ? or should I just look for something completely different ?

Thanks :D

As the cheapo curry that I am, I normally wait till the sales come on. Bought a $150 NIKE shoe two years ago, for $25 at the Mothers Day sale that they had. I would wait till a sale comes out, and then buy a decent one. Although it depends on how much you use it, if you need it soon, well then buy it, but if you can wait, wait it out:)

I don't think they normally put them on sale, I'm not curry but I still love a bargain :P

So I might go to the factory outlet in Collingwood.

Lol, to the "I'm not a curry ..." bit.

But yes, go to a factory outlet.

Nike runners arent actually all that good, its more their marketing department.

ASCIS Gel kanyo's are what i run in and they get a fair amount of milage. I bought them from endless.com for 99.95.
