Who should NOT buy

Its rigidity and lack of cushioning make the nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson a poor choice for all-day wear. If you want to feel comfortable and supported for hours on end, we recommend the ASICS EX89.

Cushioning

Heel stack

The nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson is a very grounded, low-profile sneaker. No wonder it became so popular for skateboarding!

nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson Heel stack

With a heel stack of only 23.1 mm, this kick is over 8 mm lower than average. It is also notably lower than the nike best vapormax crimson gold 07 (a kick it's often compared to).

Forefoot stack

The Dunk Low also feels very close to the ground in the forefoot. Based on our caliper measurements, its forefoot stack is only 15.5 mm.

It made the balls of our feet quite sensitive to stepping on rocks and other sharp objects.

Drop

The lower difference in stack height between the heel and the forefoot also contributes to the Dunk Low's grounded profile.

We measured the shoe's drop at 7.6 mm which is lower than the average for sneakers. Normally, the heel is a bit more elevated in casual sneakers which gives added support to the heels and the Achilles.

Midsole softness

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

If you want a sneaker that feels like walking on clouds or pillows, the nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson is NOT for you. The platform of this sneaker is quite firm and unforgiving.

Pressing our durometer against the shoe's half-cut midsole, we got 32.0 HA. It's not much firmer than the average sneaker but is notably harder than the nike best nike best vapormax crimson gold 07 (by 35%!).

Because of the Dunk Low's firmness and lack of shock absorption, we cannot recommend it for all-day wear. After walking for about 5 hours in this nike best shoe, our feet were begging for a massage.

We found that the Dunk Low offers an ample amount of space in the toebox. And the gel mold of its interiors confirmed it.

Stability

Lateral stability test

But there is a bright side to the Dunk's sturdy midsole - it provides an amazingly stable platform!

In addition to being firm, the sneaker's stitched cupsole construction makes it feel more supportive too. In this setup, the upper is connected to the sole with 360-degree stitching. As a result, the foot ends up sitting inside the cupsole.

We think that even folks with flat feet and moderate overpronation will find enough stability in the nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson.

Torsional rigidity

A combination of its firm midsole, cupsole design, and hard rubber makes it nearly impossible to twist the nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson.

As our manual test shows, the torsional rigidity of this nike best sneaker deserves a high stiffness score of 4 out of 5.

You can rest assured that this kick won't let you roll the ankle so easily.

Unlike many oversized kicks that are popular today, the nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson keeps its platform reasonably wide.

When we first got our hands on the Dunk Low, we honestly thought that it was going to be impliable.

But to our surprise, this nike best sneaker offered just enough give in the forefoot to let our feet bend comfortably.

Measuring how much force it would take to bend the Dunk Low to a 30-degree angle, our shoe fleixng tester showed 14.2N. That's just about the same as the average of sneakers. And it relaxes even more after a few break-in walks.

Breathability

For an all-leather sneaker, we were surprised to feel the airflow inside the nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson!

At first, we thought that the sneaker was ventilated through the toebox perforations. But as our smoke-pumping test revealed, most of the heat escaped through the gaps in the tongue area.

The perforations don't seem to help breathability as much. They are not very large and are lined with textile from the inside.

All things considered, we gave the Dunk Low a moderate breathability score of 3. It is not ideal for a hot summer day but is just right for moderate temperatures below 77°F (25°C).

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

The Dunk Low is one of Nike's classic silhouettes featuring premium leather or suede uppers (depending on the model). We are here to test the quality of the leather variant.

As usual, the brand didn't disappoint. Using a butane torch and a leather scratch awl, we made sure that the sneaker was indeed made of real leather.

We tested the primary upper panels, the Swoosh, and the top overlays - they all proved to be genuine. No melting.

Dunk Low Real leather

Toebox durability

A robust leather upper contributes to the lifespan of the Dunk Low.

It was one of the reasons why the silhouette became so popular with the skateboarding community in the late '90s. Hard-wearing leather (or suede) uppers with thick overlays on the sides stood up to the aggressive wear and tear of skateboarding.

We didn't get a chance to test this nike best sneaker's durability on a skateboard but we did have a Dremel with a sandpaper tip close by.

After 12 seconds of drilling the shoe's toebox at 5K RPM speed, we really liked what we saw.

The tool left a minor scuff without affecting the sneaker's integrity. Comparing it to other kicks in our lab, we gave it a solid 4 out of 5 for toebox durability.

Our only gripe with this part of the Dunk Low is that it creases a bit more than other silhouettes. It is more of a cosmetic issue though.

The shoe's inner lining is not so frail either. We wouldn't worry about it tearing so easily.

As our 4-second Dremel test shows, the mesh lining inside the heel counter can handle the abrasion better than the average sneaker.

Outsole hardness

Stemming from basketball shoes, it is no surprise that the nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson comes with a very hard rubber outsole.

Measuring it with an HC durometer, we got a reading of 90.3. It is harder than 92% of our lab-tested sneaker outsoles.

Even though hard rubber makes the shoe feel firmer ringsfoot, it's hard to beat when it comes to durability.

Misc

Grip / Traction

As a basketball shoe successor, the nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson inherited a very solid outsole grip. We didn't have any sliding hazards even on wet concrete.

It even comes with the good old pivot point as a nod to the shoe's hooping past.

There are no reflective elements on the original Dunk Low model.

Tongue padding

The tongue of the nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson is very well-padded and is made puffier in the areas where it's most needed.

Using a caliper, we measured the thickest part of the tongue at 11.4 mm which is a bit thicker than average. Lace bites will never be a problem in this nike best kick.

We don't see this often in lifestyle sneakers, but the nike best presto extreme kids bright crimson features three additional pairs of eyelets for various lacing options.

The Dunk quickly caught fire on the market partially due to its upper paneling which allows for numerous color-blocking options. This made the sneaker very appealing to college basketball teams and fans as they had the option to choose the color schemes of their schools.
