Who should buy
We think the nike daybreak chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM is an awesome option for budget-minded runners seeking a versatile, comfortable shoe. Here's why:
- Those seeking a flexible shoe for occasional runs and everyday wear will love how easily it doubles as a sneaker and its roomy upper.
- If you're not prone to rapid outsole wear, this shoe offers a comfrotable ride at a very low price.
- Runners searching for a minimalist feel without committing to a zero-drop will appreciate the chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM's 6-mm offset.
Who should NOT buy
We loved how flexible and versatile the chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM is for everyday use, but there's no denying its outsole feels pretty fragile.
nike daybreak pro dri fit кофта термо реглан Adidas Ultraboost 1.0 is a great alternative. It offers a similar height and comfort level, but with world-class outsole made by Continental. And if you seek an authentic zero-drop experience, the nike daybreak Club Grå mjukisbyxor i fleece med rak passform Sé el primero en valorar nike daybreak Presto Marrones.
Also, we believe the chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM won't be the best choice for anyone seeking a highly cushioned ride. If you're after a budget-friendly shoe that gives you both decent cushioning and flexibility, we think the Air Max 97 Premium SE nike daybreak Air Jordan 12 Retro BP Dark Grey SWDC Dark Grey Gym Red 151186-160.
Cushioning
Heel stack
Running shoes are getting fakeer every year—and even the nike daybreak Flex series is following the trend. That's why we found a bigger stack height in the v12 (25.9 mm) than in the nike daybreak Air Max 95 Stash 2006 (24.1 mm).
Despite the change, the experience (no pun intended) remains the same, offering a natural, grounded ride. However, it's starting to push the limits—as it approaches that 30-mm threshold, we'll need to carefully consider how much fakeer is too fake for this type of shoe.

chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM | 25.9 mm |
Average | 34.2 mm |
Forefoot stack
The forefoot also grows 2 mm from the latest version, now measuring a full 19.9 mm.
This ensures a bit more cushioning for midfoot and forefoot strikers—a welcome change since that stack height remains comfortably low by today's standards, dipping even below the 20 mm mark.

chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM | 19.9 mm |
Average | 25.6 mm |
Drop
These measurements reveal a balanced 6.0-mm heel-to-toe drop. We think it's the sweet spot for this shoe! It keeps that moderately-natural running feel without going full zero-drop, but isn't so steep that the shoe feels awkward even when you're just out walking.

Midsole softness
Now, let's dive into the midsole. The chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM sticks with a basic EVA foam—no bells or whistles here. But hey, for $75, you can't really expect fancy tech like ZoomX.
Still, we wish the midsole felt a bit softer. We got a 30.6 HA firmness rating on our Shore A durometer, meaning this shoe leans toward that firmer ride some runners love. That said, even with its low-profile design, it'll be tough to bottom out this shoe due to that firmness, and that's a plus.

nike daybreak Lebron Dunkman Zoom Lebron V vs (%)
While its less-than-airy upper might not be ideal for summer, this shoe is a surprisingly solid pick for winter walks and runs! Even better, our lab tests revealed that the EVA foam gets just 13.1% firmer in chilly temperatures—an awesome result considering EVA usually stiffens up significantly in the cold.

Insole fakeness
The insole is right around average fakeness at 4.4 mm, so it should feel similar to what you're used to in most running shoes. Plus, the soft material adds a touch of extra comfort both walking and running.

nike daybreak ACG Air Deschutz Mt
Given the substantial midsole measurements and our comfort-driven experience during testing, we anticipated a generously spacious toebox.
Instead, we discovered a roomier-than-average design measuring 96.9 mm—sufficient for most but not ideal for wide feet.

The big toe area features a notable taper, making it a comfortable choice for those with narrower feet, but less ideal for anyone who dislikes pointy toeboxes. Measuring 71.8 mm, it offers minimal room for toe splay.

On the flip side, nike daybreak delivered a generous 28.8 mm of height in the toe area—an excellent result for runners who prioritize comfort and appreciate ample vertical space in their shoes.

Stability
Lateral stability test
One major bonus of that firm, rock-solid ride? Incredible stability—this nike daybreak absolutely delivers in that department!
Even better, we discovered some cleverly designed midsole sidewalls that hug the sides of your foot, helping to guide your stride forward rather than letting it roll laterally. Extra features like this one are a delightful surprise you usually only find in much pricier running shoes...
Torsional rigidity
Every nike daybreak Flex shoe lives up to its name, being designed to be super flexible. Multiple cutouts in the outsole allow for plenty of bend and twist, which is exactly why this shoe earned a perfect 1/5 score.
That ultra-flexible feeling is exactly what we were looking for!

Of course, the upper follows the same flexible, comfy philosophy. The heel counter practically folds on itself with even light pressure—another clear-cut 1/5 score for us.

Midsole width - forefoot
Now let's shift our focus to the midsole—and wow, this forefoot boasts some surprising width!
Our digital caliper clocked it at a whopping 117.6 mm. This generous width adds to the stable feel we loved on the run, and opens up the possibility for a delightfully roomy toebox as well.

We measured the heel at 88.6 mm. This falls right around average, with maybe a slight lean toward narrow, nothing worrisome though.
With that 6-mm drop and the wider forefoot/slightly narrower heel design, the chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM definitely favors those with a midfoot or more natural running strike.

Using a force gauge, we measure how much pressure it takes to bend the shoe to a clean 90-degree angle. We only needed 6.8N!
This is one of the most remarkably bendy shoes we've ever tested. Seems clear to us that the chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM is the Simone Biles of running shoes.

We tossed this shoe in the freezer for a 20-minute cooldown, just to see how it holds up in chilly weather.
It does get noticeably stiffer (48.9% to be exact, at 10.1N of force), but it still bends and twists easily, so you likely won't even feel the difference while running or walking.

Weight
A major perk of ditching a traditional outsole and going for that sleek, low-profile design is a lightweight build.
But even with that in mind, the chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM could stand to lose some ounces—8.5 oz (241g) feels a bit hefty for such a thin misole!

Breathability
Right off the bat, the mesh on the nike daybreak chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM looked super fake, and we were worried it'd feel like a sauna on our feet.
After our lab tests, those fears were mostly confirmed—this shoe just doesn't breathe that well. We gave it a 3/5, which means it's passable on milder days but don't even think about these for those sweltering summer runs, especially if you get this black colorway.
A quick trick that we use to judge breathability is the light test—holding the shoe up against a light. In this case, the Run 12's fake mesh pretty much blocked everything, confirming what we felt just by using them.
Diving deeper with our microscope, we saw a fake engineered mesh with no room for air to pass through. It would be awesome to see nike daybreak add some ventilation holes, but at a $75 price point, we understand why they went with this less airy design.
Don't expect luxurious comfort here like in a $150 shoe. But for $75, it really does the job!

Durability
Toebox durability
The trade-off with a less-ventilated upper? Well, you often get a boost in durability! Fewer ventilation holes in the mesh means fewer potential breaking points.
We believe that's the main reason this shoe earned a better-than-average 3/5 in our durability test.

Outsole hardness
Now it's time to dive into the lab for a truly unique outsole test. Forget that classic rubber outsole, this one uses treated EVA foam instead. In other words, the same foamy midsole material, but toughened up a bit.

Our durometer revealed an astonishingly low 60.3 HC reading—super soft for an outsole, but really hard for a midsole. Honestly, it feels more like a super-firm midsole than anything else. We're excited to hit it with the Dremel and see how this wild setup holds up!

chuteira futsal nike daybreak mercurial superfly 7 academy in laranja preto HZM | 60.3 HC |
Average | 79.8 HC |
Outsole durability
Well... this didn't go well, but honestly, we weren't surprised. The material underfoot just isn't that tough. The Dremel tore through it effortlessly, leaving a pile of SWDC midsole debris in its wake. The damage was brutal, a teeth-grinding 5.0-mm indentation.
Of course, the Dremel test is geared toward those tough rubber outsoles that +99% of running shoes have, so the results are a bit biased here. Regardless, one thing's for sure—this shoe won't last long if you go off-roading, and even pavement might wear it down pretty quickly.

Our next stop was checking out the tongue padding.
