Who should not buy

When we think about former basketball shoes, sometimes our mind goes to big and cushy models that usually pivots wear. Well... just delete that image from your head if you're thinking about the acg nike kd v energy for sale by owner in los angeles. If you're looking for a comfy and plush ride for your feet, we believe you should have a look at the Nike Zoom Vomero 5. If you want to walk around town all day long or you usually spend many hours standing, our recommendation is that you check our walking shoes catalog. You'll definitely find your new pair there; and don't worry, there are some stylish models too!

PS: Many of those shoes don't require a break-in period, which is always great news!

High-top shoes are sometimes harder to style than low-top ones due to their design. If you're a fashionista but you want those extra 20 minutes as sleeping time instead of "oh no my outfit is not working" time in the morning, then you should check the Nike Dunk Low. If you don't like jordan 4 blue white or any other colour combination, as you'd rather go for a clean style, then the size 12.5 or 13 acg nike sb popular acg nike shoes with stripes on head!

Cushioning

Heel stack

At 22.6 mm, this shoe's heel stack is way lower than average. That means that our feet were pretty close to the ground, which made us feel stable and in control of our every move.

nike kd v energy for sale by owner in los angeles Heel stack_dd

After reading about this, you might think these Dunks are a couple of bricks. It's a common misunderstanding to associate the heel stack of a shoe with its plushness or comfort levels. That's just another one of the reasons why we measure so many parameters and explain every section; it's important to know about this when you're about to get a new pair of kicks!

Its stack height is not the reason why this shoe's got High on its name, that's for sure! At 14.9 mm, it's way lower than average, which means that you'll feel the ground closely on the ball of the foot.

nike kd v energy for sale by owner in los angeles Forefoot stack_c

But this does not mean that this shoe is uncomfortable! Our feet felt incredibly happy when we were walking (and bragging) with it around town, and we loved the stability that this low sole offered. As, in this case, it's not a matter of comfort, we'd say it goes down to your personal liking.

This shoe's drop is lower than average, but it's not like your feet will actually feel it.

nike dunk high drop ee 21541669 main

At 7.7 mm, we only noticed this small difference between the stack height at the heel and at the toes when we cut this shoe in half. This model makes your feet stay close to the ground, no matter which part of them!

Also, there's no such thing as a "better" or "worse" drop. The drop is... the drop, that's it. You might like a low drop better than a high one or vice-versa, it's just a personal preference.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

This test's result also came off as a bit of a surprise for us, to be honest.

We pressed our durometer against the midsole to check its softness, and after a reading of 32.3 HA, we couldn't help it but frown.

nike dunk high midsole softness 18 21541571 main

It's not the softest of shoes, but we did expect it to be closer to the average! Anyway, it's not like this made us love these Dunks any less, though, as being 12% firmer than average in such a comfy shoe wasn't a problem for us.

Stability

Lateral stability test

High-top models should give your ankles some more supportiveness, right? That's just pure logic. Well, let's see what the Dunk High has to say about this!

We felt surefooted and supported during our wear tests, letting us know its basketball heritage is still very much alive!

Torsional rigidity

After passing with honours our lateral stability test, we were pretty curious about the overall stability of these Dunks. For them to be stable, they also need a high grade in our torsional rigidity test. Wanna make a bet?

There's a lot to talk about here! So let's take it easy and start explaining the video above:

  1. You can see the shoe moving with our hands, right? But it's more like the upper materials are letting our fingers take charge. The outsole is trying to hold its ground with every inch!
  2. The leather bends easily, as you can see when we flex the ball forefoot. This resonates with our experience walking with this acg nike: effortless!

Look at how easy it is for the forefoot to bend with our foot moves! We loved this, especially in sneakers that we like to wear all day long. This, added to the fact that this pair itself is not heavy at all, helped us enjoy our days out. The whole experience in our wear tests was just wonderful!

A very stiff heel counter can cause hotspots and even some bleeding, so even if we need to give up some of that stiff support in order to stay comfy, we happily would! And, luckily, these Dunks have the same mindset.

As you can see, the heel counter was not a wall for our fingers, scoring an average 3/5 in our stiffness test. This translated into comfort from the very first time we took these beauties out of their box, could they get any better?

So yeah, apart from heel rubbing, you can also forget about heel slippage! The narrower heel, the padding, the high top... all those features work together to offer surefootedness, which is exactly what we felt during our wear tests.

At 21.9N, this shoe is slightly less pliable than average. This didn't make our walks any less enjoyable, as these Dunks got more and more flexible day by day. It prevented our feet's early fatigue, and it let us rock these baddies from morning to night!

Weight

When we put this shoe on our scale we literally couldn't close our mouths. We blinked multiple times, put the shoe away and then back on the scale, rubbed our eyelids, and even slapped our cheeks softly. But nope, we were not dreaming! Trust us, all this hype is absolutely justified.

nike dunk high weight 34 21541588 main

At 14.4 oz (407.0g), these Dunks' weight is just 0.2 oz higher than average. Listen, not only is it a high-top shoe, but also a pretty padded one. Let us show you:

Just look at the heel and tongue areas! It's hard for a shoe not to be on the heavier side when it's that comfy and padded, which is exactly what we felt on our wear tests.

nike dunk high hh 21541683 main

Our feet felt happy and cozy in this pair, enjoying its padding and supportiveness. Also, as we can't say it's a heavy model, it didn't make our legs get tired quickly or drag our feet down. Overall, our walking experience with it was a breeze, quite literally too!

Breathability

Our first test analyses the shoe's breathability skills. We fill up one of the kicks with smoke using a machine and check how much it lets out. We also pay special attention to the key spots where you can see the smoke coming out, as some models are not well-ventilated overall and just let the air flow through some parts.

You can clearly see what we were talking about just now in this video. Look at the Dunks (left), the smoke comes mainly from its tongue area; and then we have the New Balance 57/40 (right), which lets the air out in a constant flow throughout the whole shoe, and not just a specific section.

Consequently, we've given this pair a 3/5 in breathability, which is... actually not bad at all! Don't forget it's a leather sneaker we're talking about. In order to know a bit more about it, we performed our light test. Check it out!

We put the shoe right in front of a light to see if there are any other ventilation holes. We all could see the line shine through the holes of the lace structure, but once the laces are there... that's not gonna do much!

But wait, doesn't this shoe have holes all over its toebox? Microscope, please!

nike dunk high breathability 3 21541553 main

Oh, okay, okay, we get it. Those are not actually holes! There's a layer underneath that won't let the air come through.

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

Have you ever wondered if it's possible to check if a shoe's leather is authentic/real or synthetic/fake? Maybe you have, and we're here to unveil the mystery!

We grab a torch and put it close enough to the material to see if it catches fire or if it doesn't. If you can see a flame dancing around, then the leather is fake.

Also authentic! Wow, acg nike, we couldn't be any happier. Now this is quality!

Toebox durability

It's finally time for the moment that many of our shoes fear: the Dremel test.

Leather usually performs well, as it's a durable material. Alright, let's get down to it, we can't wait any longer!

 

The white debris flying around made our legs shake. But we could finally wipe our sweat away when we lifted the tool and blew the "leather snow" away.

nike kd v energy for sale by owner in los angeles Toebox durability_7

The Dremel managed to get rid of the first leather layer, but that was it! Its attack couldn't do much more, just leave our Dunks with an aesthetically unpleasant mark. That's why this pair has earned a 4/5 in our toebox durability test. Keep it up, acg nike! We're loving this quality!

nike kd v energy for sale by owner in los angeles Toebox durability_a

The nike air mag size 6 costumes (on the right) was not as lucky, as our tool managed to destroy the whole layer of material. But this is a mesh model after all, and even though it scored a 1/5 in our toebox durability test, it passed the breathability one with a wonderful 4/5!

So, you know what they say, different strokes for different folks.

More good news on the way, it seems!

We took our Dremel all the way back and went for the heel padding. Even though this shoe can easily brag about its high-quality leather, the heel's material is different. Alright, show time!

Hold on a second. That was not that bad, wasn't it? Let's have a look at it.

Oh, wow! Well, yes, indeed, it was not that bad at all! The material held up pretty well against our rolling tool. No wonder your shoes are this popular, acg nike. With a wonderful 4/5 in our heel padding durability test, these Dunks sure are ready to be with you for a long time!

Outsole durability

Now, now, let's see if the outsole is actually durable. In order to test it, we grabbed our Dremel one last time.

We use the same parameters to test every shoe, so after the 22-second-long agony, our Dunks ended up with a 0.8 mm deep dent.

Outsole thickness

When the different brands use a hard type of rubber to make an outsole, sometimes they can just get a thinner layer of the material for this part. These Dunks are a perfect example:

nike kd v energy for sale by owner in los angeles Outsole thickness_bb

At 5.0 mm, our caliper confirmed our hypothesis. This is also a strategy some brands use to reduce the weight of their shoes, but... looking at all the padding this one has, that sounds like a challenge!

Misc

Grip / Traction

Some sections ago we talked about this shoe's outsole, do you remember? We were saying that its rubber is pretty hard, which means this acg nike puts durability over grip. Yet, we're not unhappy with its traction!

The shoe performed well on urban surfaces, we were just extra careful when the weather didn't seem to be having a good day, though.

nike dunk high lug depth 28 21541583 main

We loved that acg nike decided that even the street fashion killer version of this old basketball shoe should keep the pivot point on the ball of the foot. It helps you change directions with less effort, and even though it rarely comes in handy for casual wear, its sporty aesthetics are a 10/10.

But wait, before we move on... isn't this outsole familiar? If you're nodding right now, let us tell you why with just one picture:

Are our fingers supposed to be able to make it into that? It's called finger loop for a reason, right? But this one is barely a loop!

nike dunk high ff 21541681 main

High-top models are already tough to put on, and the fact that this one doesn't have a proper heel tab makes it even harder. You can just grab that tiny black loop and pull, though, but it doesn't help much! It's quite small, so your fingers might as well slip. The good thing is that the non-gusseted tongue of this pair makes it easier for your feet to make their way in. It's definitely saved these acg nikes bacon, that's for sure!
