Sprints/intervals once or twice a week.
An OCCASIONAL run for 30mins-1hour. This is only once every 10 days or so.
My bread and butter is walking though, I take a lot of brisk walks at around 30-45 minutes each.
They were ok, but now they feel a little flimsy during the sprints, and a little hard for the long distance runs. Are the Nike Fits ok for my training? Air Max 360?.....anything else from Nike that is worth checking out?
FWIW, I'm male "athletic build" 32 yo. No history of injuries.
Why must they be Nike? There are lots of great shoes out there. Personally Nike's do not fit my feet correctly because they run small.
I like Mizuno's and Asics myself. Find a local running store and get advice from them.
I would ask the same thing. Nike quality is utterly substandard and their customer service when you do receive a defective product is non-existent. I'd shoot for a pair of New Balance, Saucony or Adidas and avoid Nike like a plague ship run aground. Trust me, I know from experience.

Because of the running you do, you want a running shoe and not a training shoe. Some shoe vendors such as New Balance and Saucony also make a walking shoe, so you may want to buy both walking and running shoes. Regarding a running shoe, I have tried all of them and find no major differences between the running shoes of major vendors. The major issue is to find a shoe that fits the type of runner you are. Check out the Runner's World shoe finder and look at the questions they ask about your arch and motion mechanics.
Dittos on Mizuno. They hold up well for me. I'm too cheap to replace shoes after 400 miles. I put thousands of miles on a pair of shoes. Also I have found their sizing to be consistent. With other brands I've found that I often must adjust up or down by 1/2 size; with Mizuno I never have to do that.

I agree with this. I think having both walking and running shoes is the best idea if one can afford it. I am a long time Nike wearer, and I wear Air Max for primarily because I mostly cross train and because I need extra support in the heel or my knees tell me about it much earlier in the life of the shoe. That said, I wear basketball shoes for basketball and running shoes for running.
The Nike Shox line is a decent running shoe, but it will typically be heavier than most. You have to decide whether you want a lighter running shoe like the Nike Free line or one of the other brands others have mentioned or if you want that extra shock protection that the Nike Air line will give you.
You Should try Nike Air max & Nike Free Run Shoe because these shoe are very comfortable in feet. Visit: Wholesale Top Brand Products for brand Shoe.
