Who should NOT buy

The nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey made us believe in love at first sight. It's clean, simple, fashionable, and minimalistic, which makes it incredibly versatile for multiple occasions. Nevertheless, it's a flat shoe; and trust us, it does feel flat! Consequently, we can't say it's the best pair to spend hours and hours walking around town. If you're looking for some foot companions to do exactly that, we believe you should have a look at our walking shoes catalog.

On the other hand, if you just want a new pair of Nike sneakers and you don't vibe with the walking shoes style, maybe the Nike P-6000 and its trendy look are a good option. It's a very comfortable shoe and it has a lightweight and breathable design! If you want something with a more playful touch, the Nike Woven Qs Pack might be your cup of tea. And it's also insanely comfy!

Cushioning

Heel stack

It's time to talk about the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey's stack, so don't forget what we said: it's a flat shoe!

nike blazer mid 77 heel stack 1 21877940 main

At 17.5 mm, our caliper indicated its heel stack is way lower than average. This translated into great ground feel, maybe even a little bit too much. Why? Well, because we could feel pretty much every rock when we walked around town with it.

Now that we have this clear view of the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey would be the perfect moment to talk about its midsole... if it had any.

That lack of cushioning is what makes this Nike pair not suitable for all-day wear. We tried to run errands with it, but it took us too long and our feet ended up in pain. We found it more suitable to go out for dinner with friends, just a couple of hours chilling, and then give our feet a break.

A very thin insole is the only cushioning you will get from the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey.

The Nike nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey fits exactly as it looks - quite snug and close-fitting. Having retrieved the gel mold of its interiors, we were able to measure its dimensions more precisely.

In its widest part, the replica showed 88.8 mm which is narrower than average but not critically. It is still in the medium-width range but you should expect a one-to-one fit.

Toebox height

Luckily, the Blazer's toebox is not too close to the toes with an ample height of 26.3 mm. Given that the shoe's leather upper has no stretch at all, that could've been an issue.

Stability

Lateral stability test

The nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey has a high collar that can be lazed up all the way to the top. Even if that's not your style, let's not forget this shoe used to be a hooper, which means its quality materials still offer some lateral support.

We actually can't complain about it, just don't expect some crazy structured upper to hold your ankles in place like some specific basketball shoes do!

nike blazer mid 77 outdoor 06 21877968 main

Torsional rigidity

Even though this shoe wrapped its collar nicely around our ankles, we wouldn't say its structure is designed to offer incredibly good containment or a fantastic lockdown feel.

As you can see, it bent alongside our fingers easily, so we decided to give it a 2/5 on our torsional rigidity test. This translated into easier and smoother walks around town.

nike blazer mid 77 outdoor 015 21877977 main

We're talking about a casual type of shoe here, it's not a performance pair anymore! That's why we don't feel it needs to be more rigid than that.

The heel counter area follows the same logic. Despite its tall structure, it bent alongside our fingers easily. This translated into a soft structure that didn't hurt our feet at all.

Look at that! We really appreciated that pliability when we had to put the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey on, as its design already makes it quite challenging.

Even though this model has a narrow outsole, we didn't feel unstable or anything like that during our wear tests.

Flexibility / Stiffness

The minimal structure of the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey showed us great flexibility before, and we tried to make it bow all the way to 90 degrees, it happily agreed.

At 12.9N, this makes it remarkably flexible. Honestly, we expected something like this when we took it to our lab. After all, we've tried lots and lots of shoes on, and this Nike pair was nice and easy to walk in from minute one!

nike blazer mid 77 outdoor 04 21877966 main

In other words, it didn't require a painful or complicated break-in period.

Weight

We didn't feel this shoe was super heavy, but it definitely wasn't what we expected. When we saw it for the first time, our brain constrained it would be light just because of its structure. Nevertheless, when we put it on our scale... it completely disagreed.

Nike nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey Weight_1

Like, what on Earth do you mean 14.7 oz/418g?! That's way more than average, and the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey doesn't look like a heavy shoe at all!

Nike nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey_outdoor_017

Well, let us tell you... there's more than meets the eye.

Even though, once again, these sneakers didn't feel like a ballast for our feet, it's definitely not a Nike lightweight model.

Breathability

As soon as we saw the leather upper of this shoe, we guessed it wouldn't be the most breathable sneaker out there.

Even though our light could shine through the eyelets and those three ventilation holes near the sole, our feet didn't feel any kind of airflow during our wear tests.

Our smoke machine proved us right! Just look at the poor nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey on the left, just choking up... and on the right, we've got the Nike P-6000 letting all the smoke out like a pro. That's why the latter has a perfect 5/5 on our breathability test, and nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey a mere 1/5 on this same test.

Nike nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey Breathability_3

Our microscope also gave us a hand to see what was up with the upper. As expected, the overall leather and the suede overlay didn't have any ventilation holes. In other words, it's impossible for the air to get through those materials!

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

To check if the leather of the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey is authentic, we use a butane torch to burn it up and a scratch awl to see if it gets sticky.

Even though there was a little bit of a flame in this white part, the material didn't end up all melted, which means it's authentic!

But the inner lining... started looking like a gone-for-good chewing gum when our torch started dancing around. Consequently, this material is synthetic.

Toebox durability

Honestly, after the disappointing score in breathability of this shoe, we did expect it to do well against our Dremel. It's a tough fight, that's for sure, but we trusted the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey and its wonderful upper.

Not even after 5 seconds could the tool get through the suede overlay! Showing who's boss here, this shoe's toebox scored a solid 5/5 on our durability test.

Look at that, spotting the damage is even harder than finding Wally!

When we moved our tool all the way back to the heel, we were crossing our fingers for it to be just as durable. But... we knew it was a pipe dream.

Our Dremel attacked this shoe's heel padding mercilessly at 5K RPM and with 3.2N of force. It managed to break the leather overlay and get to the padding, so we decided to give it a 2/5 on our heel padding durability test.

Outsole hardness

We flipped the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey upside down to check its outsole hardness.

Outsole durability

Our Dremel's final battle was here, and the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey's outsole was ready to take it on a fight!

At 10K RPM this time and during the eternal wait of 22 seconds, the tool drilled the rubber compound nonstop.

Nike nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey Outsole durability_2

We measured the damage with our tread gauge and it returned 1.2 mm. It's definitely not the best score we've seen, but as long as you wear this shoe on urban surfaces to walk around town (yeah, don't try to hoop in it. Despite its basketball heritage, that won't go well...), it should stay by your side for a while.

Outsole thickness

To measure any shoe's outsole thickness, first we need to cut it in half. We know this makes it pretty much unwearable, but it must be done to give you the most accurate data.

At 5.8 mm, it's pretty much average, so there's nothing special about it. But before we move on, let us tell you one thing that you can probably guess just by looking at this picture: the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey feels flat!

Misc

Grip / Traction

We headed out to the streets and, once again, we were welcomed by the iconic spiky herringbone pattern. You're probably familiar with it by now, right? And well, you know what they say: "If it isn't broken, don't fix it!".

For real now, this is the outsole of the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey. We didn't have any issues with it. And honestly, we can proudly say we were pretty happy with how it performed! Most likely following its basketball heritage, the nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey bit well on urban surfaces.

Nike nike air max plus tn utlra cool grey_outdoor_018

All in all, it did its job well. And we can't ask for more!
