Who should buy
Don't let the iconic nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free walk away from you if:
- pink and green nike flyknit shoes black sneakers.
- mens nike yellow huraches shoes sneakers for women.
- You're a trendsetter and a Nike lover and you won't settle for anything less than a premium quality shoe for your feet.
- You want to feel taller and you're totally obsessed with the Air technology.
Who should NOT buy
Forget about the AM 95 if you're looking for a lightweight pair of sneakers. Among all the nike football boots 2015 adidas shoes clearance we've reviewed so far, it turns out this one is the heaviest! The AM 270 is a wonderful alternative, but if you don't want to spend that much, then we believe you should have a look at the AM SC.
After our wear tests, we are of the opinion that there are better alternatives for all-day wear. If that's your intended use for this shoe... you're better off with something more comfortable, like the AM DN. Which, by the way, doesn't require a break-in period!
Cushioning
Heel stack
The AM 95 features a huge Air unit in the rearfoot that makes its heel stack go all the way up to a crazy 41.1 mm. Among the nike football boots 2015 adidas shoes clearance, nike air jordan pure low carb count chart AM DN (at 40.3 mm). If you want to enjoy lots of comfort and some extra height, you might've found your solemate!
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 41.1 mm |
Average | 30.2 mm |
nike air max emergent blue price range hood light | Forefoot stack
Contrary to the norm, this Nike pair doesn't fall short on the forefoot stack either. Our caliper returned 26.7 mm, which is way higher than average. This translated into a protected ride, as our feet were fairly separated from harsh urban surfaces and/or any obstacle we stepped on.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 26.7 mm |
Average | 19.2 mm |
Drop
Even though both stack heights are massive, the heel still comes on top. That's why this shoe's drop is that steep, reaching 14.4 mm. This just means that you'll feel your rearfoot higher than your toe area, but it doesn't imply that your feet will need some readjustments or adaptation. So don't worry!
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 14.4 mm |
Average | 11.1 mm |
Midsole softness
The AM 95 felt pretty soft underfoot. This wasn't just just thanks to its Air units, but also to its cushioning. Our durometer returned 21.0 HA when we pressed it against its foam, which means this material is on the softer side.
Even though this result indicates this Nike is plush, its thick outsole does take some of that feeling away, making it a bit less cushy. But don't stress that much about this... and trust its Air technology!
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 21.0 HA |
Average | 29.1 HA |
Insole thickness
In what we believe was a wise choice in order to reduce weight, Nike used a thinner-than-average insole for this Air Max. At 4.0 mm, we didn't really feel like we needed some extra cushioning, as the soft foam and the Air technology took over.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 4.0 mm |
Average | 5.1 mm |
Size and fit

nike air max paris black friday deals today online 95 is true to size (387 votes).
nike acg air changtse black dress line for women
nike shox gold fire emblem blue robin williams!
It may appear as a chunky sneaker on the outside... But on the inside, it is no more accommodating than a pointy-toe dress shoe! To be honest, our pinkie toe goes numb just by looking at the gel mold of the nike air max paris black friday deals today online 95.
No wonder our caliper returned a notably smaller-than-average reading of 88.2 mm in the biggest part of the mold. But if you are someone with narrow feet and often struggle with dead space in your kicks, this may be a perfect match.

nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 88.2 mm |
Average | 92.3 mm |
Toebox width - big toe
The tapering angle of this Nike sneaker is one of the most unsavory we've seen. With a caliper reading of 61.9 mm near the big toe, it is one of the narrowest in our roster.
If you have medium-width feet and want a Nike sneaker with a proper D medium fit which offers enough wiggle room for prolonged walks, check out the nike air max paris black friday deals today online Plus or the nike air max paris black friday deals today online DN instead.

nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 61.9 mm |
Average | 68.8 mm |
nike air max emergent blue price range hood light | Toebox height
Gladly, the toebox height of this Nike shoe proved to be on par with the average at 27.0 mm. At least there is no pressure from the top.

nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 27.0 mm |
Average | 27.8 mm |
Stability
Lateral stability test
We could see how the AM 95 was originally developed for performance running when we tested its lateral stability. This shoe's solid structure didn't let our ankles overextend themselves, stopping any risky moves when we were walking. That being said, this is not a running shoe anymore! If that's what you're looking for, please check this section nike lebron and kobe puppet commercials.
Torsional rigidity
If you're curious about what a bear hug on your feet feels like, the nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free is ready to show you! Thanks to our wear tests, we can say this shoe has a snug fit. And when we took it to our lab and tried to twist it, it fought back like a piece of armor! We didn't even stand a chance, which earned this shoe a perfect 5/5 on our torsional rigidity test.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 5 |
Average | 3.6 |
nike air mavin low wide
The heel counter was almost as stiff! Its immovable nature didn't let our thumbs play with it at all, so we decided to give it a 4/5 on this test. Even though the overall rigid structure of this shoe offered lots of support, it also meant the AM 95 needed a break-in period, at least in our experience.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 4 |
Average | 3.2 |
nike air max liquid racer black friday sale amazon
Just like many other nike football boots 2015 adidas shoes clearance, the 95 doesn't have a wide midsole. Our caliper returned 106.1 mm, which is way lower than average! Even though this doesn't affect the comfort levels or the support in general, we can see sneakerheads with wide feet wishing for a more spacious structure.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 106.1 mm |
Average | 108.5 mm |
harris tweed dunks for sale
At 81.8 mm, the midsole at the heel follows the same logic. It's also narrower than average, and even though our standard-width feet were okay with it, a little bit more space in general would've been much appreciated for long hours of use.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 81.8 mm |
Average | 83.6 mm |
nike 2001 shoes pink yellow blue eyes
The overall rigidity of this Air Max is undeniable at this point. We still haven't found a single area of this sneaker that would let us mess with it...
Our shoe flexing tester showed that the kick required as much as 21.7N of force to bend by 30 degrees, which is twice as much as it takes an average casual sneaker.
As we've mentioned before, this stiffness translated into a required break-in period and some "hostility" from this shoe at the beginning. But it was nothing too bad, as we quickly started getting used to it. That being said, there are other more comfortable nike football boots 2015 adidas shoes clearance to wear all day long.

nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 21.7N |
Average | 13.8N |
Weight
As you might've seen on our catalog, we've tried a lot of Air Max pairs! Most of them felt pretty light on foot, which helps a lot when you've been on your feet for a while. Why? Well, because heavier shoes make your legs get tired faster... and that's exactly the case of the AM 95.
When we took it to our lab, our scale returned 16.16 oz/458g! This makes it the heaviest Air Max we've tested so far. And trust us, our feet could notice the difference after walking or running errands for some time.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 16.16 oz (458g) |
Average | 13.76 oz (390g) |
Breathability
The armor-like brick-inspired structure of the AM 95 would have never made us think it was a breathable shoe. During our wear tests, our feet didn't have to deal with sweat or overheating, which took us so much by surprise that we couldn't wait to take this Nike to our lab.
As we expected, it kind of "failed" our light test. We couldn't see the LED shine through anywhere, which was discouraging and yet totally the opposite of what we felt walking around town.
But our smoke machine showed revolutionary results. We were totally in awe when we saw how much smoke this shoe's toebox let go! It was totally unexpected, yet the performance was so good that we decided the AM 95 deserved a solid 4/5 on our breathability test.
Thanks to our microscope, we could see the multiple layers of this shoe. The gaps in between the threads of the outer layer are pretty big, but there's a second one right below to enhance durability. Still, the airflow was incredibly nice!

Durability
Leather/Suede quality
We grabbed our torch and awl to check if this Air Max's materials were real. First, we burned the lighter leather next to the heel, and it didn't get all sticky... which means it's authentic!
Its darker pal followed the same path, as we weren't met with a massive flame when we decided to heat things up a little bit. In other words: this one is not fake either!
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | Real leather |
Toebox durability
We always perform our durability tests on the very same spot. This time, the AM 95 was lucky enough to have its leather protection shield it from our Dremel, which attacked it at 5K RPM and with 2N of force for 12 seconds.
The results were so good that we decided to give this Nike pair a wonderful 4/5 on our toebox durability test. Which, by the way, is a pretty uncommon score when a shoe is as breathable as this one!
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 4 |
Average | 3.7 |
nike janoski black ivory blue gold
Even though the heel padding is usually weaker in terms of durability, this Air Max managed to surprise us one more time. Our Dremel went all in once again, but the material fought back bravely, so we decided to give this shoe a 3/5 on this test.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 3 |
Average | 3.2 |
Outsole hardness
Our durometer returned 87.0 HC when we pressed it against this shoe's outsole. This result is pretty much average, which indicates this shoe should offer a healthy mix of durability and grip.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 87.0 HC |
Average | 85.7 HC |
Outsole durability
As promised, this Nike pair's outsole showed great durability on our Dremel test. We turned on the tool for the grand finale one last time at 10K RPM and with 2N of force. After measuring the damages, we saw the dent was only 0.7 mm deep, which is way less than average! In other words: there's no need for you to worry about the nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free's outsole leaving your side any time soon.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 0.7 mm |
Average | 1.1 mm |
Outsole thickness
Even though the rubber compound used is already quite durable, Nike still decided to go for a thick outsole. Our caliper returned 5.9 mm, so it's even chunkier than average! Personally, and taking into account the results of our Dremel test, we believe the brand could have opted for a thinner midsole. This shoe is already quite bottom-heavy itself!
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 5.9 mm |
Average | 5.3 mm |
Misc
Grip / Traction
We didn't find any issues with this former performance runner's grip. As you can see, it features the iconic waffle pattern of the brand all along its forefoot, which carried the traction levels of the whole shoe easily.
There are also big flex grooves that tried to increase the flexibility levels of this nike air max paris black friday deals today online, and... failed. This pair feels really stiff on foot, and what we got instead was a collection of pebbles!
Price
After thoroughly testing this pair, we can tell you confidently that it deserves every penny of its price. Its premium materials and technologies have it clear, and so do we! We can understand that it might be a little bit too much for some sneakerheads, as there are cheaper nike football boots 2015 adidas shoes clearance, but... are they this iconic? Well, that's up to you!
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | $190 |
Average | $121 |
Reflective elements
We love reflective elements, and Nike knows how to make us happy! The AM 95 features a big shiny detail on the tongue...
...and another one at the very back. It was clearly designed with style and security in mind!
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | Yes |
Tongue padding
The tongue of this Air Max is divided into two sections. The part that's closer to the toes is pretty thin, almost inexistent. On the other hand, the area that protects us from any potential lace bite is thicker, reaching 10.9 mm.
The whole structure of the shoe follows the same logic, using extra padding only on key areas. Still, we do believe the brand could have gone for a thinner outsole here to reduce the overall weight of the 95.
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | 10.9 mm |
Average | 9.3 mm |
nike women 5.0 free made in vietnam 2017
The both sides semi-gusseted tongue of this Nike pair also adds some weight but, in this case, we're willing to make this sacrifice. This type of tongue design offers a lot of support and a wonderful lock-in feel, and we wouldn't change that for the world!
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | Both sides (semi) |
Heel tab
Instead of a heel tab, the AM 95 has a big reflective detail right at the heel. Trust us, we love us some good shiny accents on our sneakers, but... taking into account just how much of a snug fit and stiff structure this Nike pair has, a finger loop would have been nice to help us put it on!
nike wmns dunk sky high lotus jazz youtube free | None |
Removable insole
Just like the other nike football boots 2015 adidas shoes clearance we have reviewed, the 95 has a standard removable insole that you can change if you need or want to. Just take into account that the overall tightness of this Nike pair might lead to discomfort if you opt for a very thick insole that takes up most of the inner space.
