Who should buy
Womens Nike Space Hippie 04 Lemon Venom limits and capacities of the Nike SB Dunk Low Red Lobster 3, we consider it an excellent option for the following:
- nike air huarache gripp qs sail team orange white wolf grey for sale
- Wesentliches Element des Nike Max Air sollte die bereits 1978 entwickelte
- Nike Engineered Pantalon de jogging en polaire technique Noir
Who should NOT buy
Womens Nike Space Hippie 04 Lemon Venom previous version of the Cosmic Unity, we believe that the v3 is a bit of a letdown when it comes to cushioning and weight. If you want a softer and more responsive Zoom Air cushioning, go with the v2. We also found that it is a whopping 2.3 oz (65g) lighter!
Another great alternative, in our opinion, is the Nike KD 15. It is 1.7 oz (48g) lighter, has plusher and bouncier cushioning, and is just as great for outdoor courts.
Cushioning
Heel stack
The shoe's cushioning comprises a drop-in midsole that sits on top of an embedded midsole. We measured the combined stack height of these two.
In the heel, our caliper shows 27.9 mm of stack, which is slightly thinner than average but still in the medium range.
Less cushioning typically translates to a better ground feel and we can confirm that the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey feels more grounded.

Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey | 27.9 mm |
Average | 29.1 mm |
Forefoot stack
In the forefoot, we measured the stack height at 20.7 mm. It is also considered average for a basketball shoe. It is neither too thin to hurt the ball of the foot not extra cushioned.

Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey | 20.7 mm |
Average | 21.6 mm |
Dunk Low Canyon Rust | Drop
Nike will be launching a matching Graffiti iteration of the Kyrie 5 exclusively for kids.
This slight elevation of the heel above the toes is right at the average of hoop shoes. We believe that it will suit most players.
Bigger guys and gals, on the other hand, may benefit from a higher drop as it gives more impact protection in the heel. Some shoes like that include the Schuhe NIKE Run Swift 2 CU3517 004 Black White Dk Smoke Grey (10.4 mm).

Midsole softness
Une Nike Dunk Low Baroque Brown pour cet automne.
The cushioning of the SLAM DUNK × NIKE AIR JORDAN VI RETRO a far-far cry from the brand's claim of "cloud-like cushioning." We repeated the durometer measurement several times to make sure we are not biased and yet every time the tool confirmed our experience - this shoe is firm. At 33.3 HA, the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey is about 20% firmer than average.
Because of that, the shoe feels dense (and even thin) and definitely lacks impact protection for our moderate body weight. Unfortunately, it is a downgrade from the second iteration which was 32% softer and felt amply cushioned despite the lower stack height.
Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey | 33.3 HA |
Average | 25.1 HA |
Insole thickness
Because the shoe comes with a drop-in midsole, there is no insole in the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey per se.

We are not exactly sure why Nike went with this midsole design. But at least it gives us an opportunity to replace its underwhelming cushioning with something more fun and protective. Not to mention that it gives way to using custom orthotics.

Having retrieved a gel replica of this Nike shoe's toebox, we measured its widest part at 93.6 mm.
Even though it is slightly wider than average, the shoe still falls into the medium-width range but with a tough of wiggle room.

Average | 92.8 mm |
Toebox width - big toe
On the flip side, the shoe's toebox has some tapering towards the toes which reflected in a below-average width of 67.8 mm near he big toe. However, it's not aggressive enough to cause any serious toe jamming for a medium-width foot.

Stability
Lateral stability test
Luckily, the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey comes back strong when it comes to support and stability. This shoe made us feel contained like no other!
The first salute goes out to supportive materials on the upper. All those sturdy woven layers of Flymesh and Flyknit blend together to lock the foot in place. We experienced zero in-shoe movement.
Just look how little stretch (if any) there is in the upper!
Torsional rigidity
Our next shoutout goes to the plastic shank embedded into the midsole. It extends up on both sides, firmly bracing the arch. We haven't seen expanded shanks like that in quite some time.
This design is responsible for the shoe's increased torsional rigidity. Twisting it is not that easy! On a scale from 1 to 5, where 5 is the stiffest, we rated it as 4.
We consider it an essential stability component of the Nike SB Dunk Low Red Lobster 3.

The shoe's heel cup was another pleasure surprise. First of all, it is notably stiffer than most basketball shoes. Giving it a good squeeze, we rated its stiffness as 4 out of 5.
Secondly, the shoe's rear foot is designed in such a way that our heels ended up sitting quite deeply in it. Heel slippage is simply non-existent here.

Midsole width - forefoot
Finally, we cannot leave the shoe's wide base without attention.
Measuring the widest part of the forefoot with a caliper, we found it to be 115.3 mm. This is a little wider than average.

The Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey also features a wide heel area. We measured its widest part at 91 mm. A solid average for a hoop shoe.

Flexibility / Stiffness
Being such a sturdy shoe, the Nike SB Dunk Low Red Lobster 3 loses a bit on the flexibility front.
It doesn't bend very easily on the foot and as our lab test shows, it's not very bendy per se. It took 23.1N of force to get the shoe to flex in the forefoot, according to our lab machine.
We anticipate that the shoe will get more flexible with use but the break-in period is going to take a while.
We felt less maneuverable in the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey but in return, we got smoother heel-to-toe transitions and enhanced stability.

Average | 20.5N |
Weight
Apparently, being a durable shoe has its price.
The Nike SB Dunk Low Red Lobster 3 gained some serious weight compared to its predecessor. It now tips the scales at 15.7 oz (444g) whereas the average of our lab-tested hoop shoes is 13.7 oz (387g).
It feels very substantial underfoot but it seems to be the trade-off for the unmatched wear resistance and overall support.

Average | 13.79 oz (391g) |
Breathability
When we first saw all those layers of mesh and knit embracing the upper of the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey, we instantly thought "Uh-oh, here comes a toaster." And yet, our smoke machine test proved that this Nike shoe found a way to ventilate the interiors.
Based on the amount of smoke passing through the upper, we assessed its breathability with a rating of 3 out of 5.
It is clear from the transparency test below which parts of the upper are responsible for the airflow.

Durability

Nike High-Waisted Skirts!
In addition to its mesmerizing looks, the embroidered upper of the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey is also impressively strong. It survived our 12-second Dremel test with very minor damage and deserved the highest rating of 5/5. No wonder it is advertised for outdoor use!
Seeing what the same test did to the cheaper Nike Lebron Witness 7 ($115), it becomes clear why the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey is asking for $170.
Of course, we couldn't help but explore the shoe's upper under our microscope in an attempt to reveal its secret durability formula.
We can see how multiple layers of woven fabric create several layers of defense on the Nike SB Dunk Low Red Lobster 3. This shoe is ready for some serious wear and tear.

Heel padding durability
Back in the heel, the collar padding also showed excellent results in our Dremel test. Pressing the tool against the material for 4 seconds, we saw smaller damage compared to basketball shoes on average.
In this part of the upper, we rated the Cosmic Unity as 3 out of 5.

Average | 3.6 |
Outsole hardness
The shoe's unmatched durability includes the outsole as well.
Measuring the hardness of its rubber with a durometer, we found it to be 86.5 HC. This is harder than 81% of our lab-tested basketball shoes. And in our experience, it takes much longer to wear through hard rubbers.
This fact in combination with our playtests allows us to wholeheartedly recommend the Nike SB Dunk Low Red Lobster 3 for outdoor use.
Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey | 86.5 HC |
Average | 81.5 HC |
Outsole thickness
We also use a caliper to check how thick the outsole is. At 3.5 mm, it is not among the thickest we've seen.
But we wouldn't be so concerned about that because the nature of the treads on the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey looks very reassuring. Wide and deep, these lugs are not easy to wear off.
Based on all of our findings in the durability department, we can claim this Nike shoe to be one of the best for outdoor use.

Misc
Grip / Traction
The grip is fabulous on the Nike SB Dunk Low Red Lobster 3. We mostly tested the shoe on a rubberized outdoor court and felt very surefooted. But we can readily recommend it for hardwood and concrete surfaces too.
We had to wipe the dust off much less frequently compared to other basketball shoes.
Tongue padding
The shoe's tongue is much thinner than average. At 4.9 mm, it is nearly twice thinner. And yet, it feels fairly well-padded.
We think that more padding in the tongue would be unnecessary as the shoe's upper offers plenty of support and in-shoe comfort as is.

Surprisingly for its higher-end price point, the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey doesn't have a gusseted tongue.
However, this was never an issue for us as the tongue stayed in place and wrapped around our insteps comfortably.
The tongue is pretty wide and is made of a neoprene-ish material, which apparently makes up a success formula for this Nike shoe.

Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey | None |
Heel tab
Because the edge of the shoe's collar is made of a pliable Flyknit material, having a finger loop to assist with putting it on is pretty handy.

Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey | Finger loop |
Removable insole
Remember that taking the insole out of the Nike SB Dunk Low Red Lobster 3 equates to removing the shoe's cushioning entirely. So you would need to find a thick replacement of at least 12 mm in the heel.

Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey | Yes |
Sustainable materials
As a final bonus, the Nike C S Older Kids Shoe Grey is claimed to be partially made of responsibly sourced materials. These include recycled post-manufactured and post-consumer waste like yarns, textiles, and plastics.
