I broke my hip in 2010 and still have 3 screws that hopefully come out this may. Anyways I got the Demons flex force pros, LOVE'EM.. They have a few styles but I liked the flex force pro, cuz they have the biggest hip pad, their the only ones with draw srings and their a lil bigger then the others but not too big. They have a tail bone pice too and all the pads are removable!! I don't even notice the tail bone pad when I'm sitting on the lift. I think they were 50$ but worth every penny!! I where them for motocross too. Hope this helps good!

Iv never seen the nike ones. But demon only makes protective gear, their not mostly based on shoes, like Nike. That dosnt mean the Nikes pads are bad, i just went with the Demons. Get the demons flex force pro's, you won't regret it!! Best money iv ever spent, a
