I recently embarked on a 7 hour long excursion to the Nike Store Dallas in the Northpark mall. My main mission was to get my pair of Flyknit trainers. However, I held a size 12 but 12 was too big and the only size 11.5 in the color I wanted was hiding in Nike Town NYC. Moving onto the main part of my story, I did not want to have driven an hour to get to the store and leave home with nothing! A guy was folding the shirt at the front desk while a Nike employee was calling Nike NYC to ship me a pair and the logo caught my eye. It was a US Soccer shirt! Not only am I a soccer nut, I like Nike obviously! It was perfect. My mom agreed to get me the shirt. I left that store proud that I at least got something.
Fast forward to today: I have clocked at least 6 hours of training with this shirt, and boy am I impressed. Besides that it looks great and supports a team I like, it performs extremely well. I am a bigger dude so I sweat a little (a lot). I left training with very little sweat on the shirt at all! Probably the only wet spots were from my water bottle leaking. The shirt kept me cool and dry amazingly. I must confess I am dropping my Charged Cotton shirts by Under Armour and using Nike Dri-Fit shirts for training now.
Rankings: Comfort 9/10, breathability 10/10, style 9/9, performance 10/10
