These are gorgeous and lightweight but a little shorter in length than the average Nike running shoe but very comfortable and supportive.. Get compliments on them every time I wear them.

I loved the look of these shoes but unfortunately returning because they are way too narrow. Not Nike's normal width at all. I got a bunion after wearing them for a few hours :(

Love the style but they were too narrow even after I sized up based on reviews. Not for those with wide feet.

I got the Thea in particle rose n the white and now in barely rose, they are slightly tighter then most others from Nike but just add half size bigger and your fine! The look is too hot to skip them

Super cute style. Love Nike! However, could have easily ordered one size bigger. I’m a pretty true 10 in all other brands but Nike seems to run small. Especially if it is a shoe with less arch support. More of a ridged shoe vs cushioned.

The color is described as "Rose" but it looks more like purple, especially the "swoosh" logo.

I have worn Nike running shoes for 35 years and these do not disappoint. They do run about a half size smaller than some other Nike models but still work fine for me. Not a shoe for anyone with a wide foot as they do run as I have always liked; a bit narrow. Great support as I spend between 8-16 hours per day on my feet. Would definitely recommend.

This shoe is the cutest thing ! Incredibly comfy. It was a little snug when it arrived so
I just double socked it to break it in and it's fine now. Highly Recommend

Stylish look but I would recommend going a 1/2 size larger then your usual size. I'm usually a 7.5.

This is a beautiful shoe! I purchased this for my daughter and she loves the look, but the fit doesn't seem to be anywhere near how her other Nikes fit. Granted, she's only been wearing for a day, but does say there's very little arch support and they seem really narrow and tight. Hopefully after a few wearings, they'll loosen up some. She really loves the look, but if the comfort doesn't get any bettet, we may have to return and look at another style.

I love Nike Theas, but this exact pair seems to run small. I have the premiums, which fit perfectly in a size 9. I love the color of these and wish so badly the 9 fit me. I'm sad to see they are out of the 9.5 and will be returning due to the smaller fit. You you want some wiggle room for your toes, buy a half size up!

Stylish casual shoe, but unfortunately not very comfortable. They are stiff and the tow box is narrow. If you’re buying them for comfort- I’d pass.

I ordered a half size and full size up from normal size. The half size up was too small and the full size up was too big. Nike dropped the ball on quality control of this shoe. Had to return them even though I liked how they look

I'm a big fan of more minimalist design and cushioning. So I generally look for Nike free and similar shoes but those don't also look too great with casual wear.
So I saw the Nike Tavas and these, and after mulling over it a few days I liked these better and grabbed them. The Thea have a more streamlined simple look than all the overlay stuff and bulbous look of the Tavas. Seems many people have shared my view from the checking around the web.
(pro tip: size up 1.5 to go from men to women or size down 1.5 to go from women to men for Nike. Women converting to men may feel a bit wider and men converting to women may feel a bit more narrow for conversions. And now you get a lot more shoe choices too, hah. Nike will have more info on conversions too.)
One thing to check out/note is the leather heel to midfoot overlay, in my particular colorway it is textured(crocodile?), some are smooth or a different texture. I actually didn't notice on the pictures here but it turns out to look pretty okay in person and not too noticeable unless you are really close if you aren't a fan. I probably would have gone for a smooth one if I had noticed but didn't think it was enough to return and shop around again.
Also, note the mesh style/pattern, this seems to differ on some different colorways like the leather overlay.
Not as comfortable as the Nike Frees I've had or as flexible but that's understandable. Different design visions. Still pretty lightweight. They may not be for wide feet but the silhouette kind of shows that I'd say. Comfort may change after I wear them more though, hopefully, will become more comfortable than less though, haha.
An overall good shoe so far, will have to see how they wear further as I've only had them for a little under a week but these won't be for running or athletic specific use, but casual wear so should be fine!
(If there is a way to update reviews I'll try to remember to do that in a few weeks)
I'd also recommend:

I love the look of these shoes and have gotten compliments on them. They are perfect for an athleisure outfit but also to wear with a casual outfit with jeans.
They feel true to size - I usually buy a 10 in sneakers, which is what I purchased.
They don't have arch support but are comfortable enough. They are slightly more narrow than I expected but they fit my feet fine.
My only issue with these shoes is that on the R shoe, there is a seam that falls right over my Achilles' tendon, which caused a lot of rubbing and a blister after using them for a 2-3 mile walk. In order to combat this issue, I'll have to wear taller socks and likely a bandage over my Achilles' tendon. I assume I likely got a dud as this isn't the case with L shoe.
Overall, I enjoy the look and am keeping the shoes.

Shoe is comfortable. I had to get a size bigger because they were a bit snug. Overall a good buy just get the right size.

The shoes are super cute, however, the way the shoes come up rubs and hurts the back of my ankle. I can't wear them for too long or it will give me a blister. More so cute than comfortable.

My teenage daughter's and I bought the beautiful pink ones. Color is awesome. Fit is narrow. Definitely NOt a workout shoe (that I had hoped), but we are using them as more of a lifestyle shoe. Happy to have them - mostly b/c the color (but I still need a workout shoe)

I have had these shoes for a week and so far no complaints. They are very narrow but I have narrow feet so I enjoy them being snug but if you do have normal width or wide feet these may be uncomfortably narrow. overall they seem to provide enough support to walk around. I do not plan on doing anything else with them but they work for me!

I love the style of the shoe! Just a bit stiff, but hopefully they'll be broken in soon enough.

Size is little bit smaller than normal, you may think about buying half to 1 size larger if you look for loose comfort. I'm a usually 38 and sometimes 39, US 8 feels just right to me and 8.5 would be fine too.
