Default New shoes?

Im in the market for a pair of running shoes for the lacrosse season.

Here are the details and some questions i have about the different materials on the shoe.

The shoe. Nike Shox NZ (customized)

Upper Material - mesh - black
Accent Color - Synthetic Leather - white
Swoosh color - orange
Swoosh Border - black
Lace Color - orange
Personal ID color - orange
Inner Lining color - orange
Heel Plate (for shox) - black
Shock Columns - black


My main question was. How would the synthetic leather hold up? or should i change it to -Nubuck- or Dimpled Synthetic. WHats the difference between all 3 materials and what would last the longest with running in all kinds of weather.

I'm looking at the Nike Air Max Solas...supposedly its got this No-sew technology that eliminates all seams for no-friction comfort, marketed towards high mileage runners...

Well frankly I wouldn't recommend Shox for running...I used to have a pair and they wore down really quickly. Very disappointing.

okay, but none of those are running shoes and none of this is helping.
