Who should buy
We recommend the solid nike red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys as an excellent choice for:
- Runners with a plus stride who prefer lightweight and agile daily trainers with a bare-there ride
- forefoot/midfoot striking runners who want a flexible mid-shocks road shoe that can bend it like Beckham
- Those in cooler climates looking for a warm shoe that performs well in frigid conditions
- Active individuals in the market for a shoe that can take on other fitness activities and gym days
Who should NOT buy
The shoe's Flyknit upper demonstrates lackluster breathability in our smoke test which makes it a less than ideal choice for warm weather runs. The nike air max wright black white grey blue color is a more fresh option that also has a sock-like fit.
While the feathery nature of the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys does allow us to push the pace to a certain extent, it lacks the responsiveness to be a dedicated tempo shoe. We recommend checking out the authentic wholesale solid nike air force 1 shoes black as a better speedy alternative.
Additionally, long-distance runners will benefit from a shoe with more protective cushioning underfoot like the Puma Magnify Nitro 2 instead.
Runners with narrow feet will find themselves floating around in the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's spacious toebox. We recommend checking out the Skechers Go RUN Ride 11 for a more snug fit.
The red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys is a plus shoe with a ride that's not at all supportive for those with overpronating strides. The Nike Structure 25 is a stability shoe that promotes a more plus gait that will suit those runners better as daily trainers.
Breathability
We pumped the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys full of smoke to get an idea of how breathable it is. As we can see from the footage of the test, it takes quite some time before smoke is finally able to start filtering out the shoe. It struggles its way through the Flyknit upper in wisps that seem to escape haphazardly throughout the shoe.
The Saucony Triumph 20, meanwhile, is a true smoke show in this test earning it a perfect 5 out of 5.
This lackluster performance earns the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys a breathability score of 2 out of 5 which confirms its warm and insulated nature. While this may not be ideal for hot days, it's certainly beneficial as the mercury shockss during the cooler months.
While the light is visible through a cross-section of its upper, the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys doesn't allow any of it to peek through any pores in the material. This serves to illuminate the shoe's below-average breathability to a certain extent.
Our microscope provides further clarification as it shows how dense woven the shoe's Flyknit upper really is; with only barely perceptible little gaps that allow any kind of airflow through the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys.

Durability
Toebox durability
For what it lacks in breathability the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys Flyknit upper makes up for in strength. Firing up our Dremel to 5K RPM to simulate some extreme wear and tear, we set it against the shoe's toebox with 3.2N of force.
Upon inspecting the damage in the aftermath of the test, we found that our tool had merely frayed some of the outer material and failed to penetrate the toebox all the way. This earns the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys a toebox durability score of 4 out of 5 which is very respectable for a daily trainer with no protective overlays.

Compare that to the devastation we had wrought upon the ASICS Gel Pulse 13 in this same test.

Next, we set our sights on the heel collar and set our Dremel against the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys once more.
It proved to be even more resistant to the abrasive force of our tool's grinding element as after four seconds it was barely left with a scuff. This leads us to give the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys a well-earned perfect score for heel padding durability. We therefore don't believe that wearing a hole in the heel from excessive rubbing will be the cause of retiring this shoe early.

Outsole hardness
Pressing our durometer against the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's outsole gives us a reading of 79 HC. This is about as hard as our current lab average which usually indicate a good mix of grip and durability.

Average | 80.0 HC |
Outsole durability
To test that last claim, we got the Dremel spinning at 10 K RPM and set it against the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys one last time.
After twenty-two seconds of punishment, we found that we had lopped off 0.8 mm of rubber from the outsole. This makes the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's outsole about as durable as average and leads us to predict that the shoe should last a good 400 to 500 miles before the tread starts giving out significantly.

Average | 1.0 mm |
red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys | Outsole thickness
At 2.5 mm thick according to our caliper measurements, the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's outsole is a little shy of our current lab average. This is a good amount of rubber to wear through without weighing the shoe down, especially considering the rubber's performance in our last test. However, with the shoe so lightweight already, a touch more rubber would definitely add to the shoe's longevity.

Average | 3.2 mm |
Weight
As alluded to in the previous section, the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys is incredibly lightweight. Tipping our scale at only 6.9 oz (197g), it's truly a barely-there running shoe. When combined with its snug, sock-like fit, we had to keep checking our feet during our test runs to make sure they were still on.

Average | 9.35 oz (265g) |
Cushioning
Heel stack
The red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys has quite a low profile, with its stack measuring only 25.6 mm thick according to our caliper. This is still a good amount of foam underfoot to protect our feet from the harsh impact of landings while keeping us stable and low to the ground.

red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys | 25.6 mm |
Average | 33.9 mm |
red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys | Forefoot stack
We measured the forefoot stack to be 18.7 mm thick which is also quite a bit short of our current lab average. This also affords forefoot strikers a decent amount of impact dampening but a lot more ground feel.
For forefoot strikers who prefer having more protective foam at the forefoot, the purple high tops solid nike jordans shoes is another sock-like shoe that we recommend looking into.

Average | 25.3 mm |
Drop
The difference in our stack measurements leaves the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys with a heel shocks of 6.9 mm, thus classifying it as a mid-shocks shoe. This offset is quite versatile as it will suit the stride of most runners whether forefoot, midfoot, or heel striking.

Insole thickness
Using our caliper again, we measured the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's insole to be 5 mm thick. This is ever so slightly thicker than average and leaves us with a nice and cushy footbed to sink into during our landings in this shoe.
red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys | 5.0 mm |
Average | 4.5 mm |
Midsole softness
Pressing our durometer against the midsole yields a reading of 26 HA. While this is slightly firmer than average, it still provides a balanced level of cushioning to our landings.
This somewhat firm nature means that the midsole is keen to retain its shape and has a pretty good rebound as our weight shifts forward in the shoe. As such, the midsole doesn't feel dull by any means.
That said, while the shoe can handle quick paces, especially by virtue of its featherweight stature, it doesn't have the snappiness or springiness we expect from a speedy shoe that will crack PRs. We recommend looking into the similarly low-profile and sock-like purple high tops solid nike jordans shoes lebron james cavs jersey solid nike blue pants women.

We placed the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys in our freezer to observe the effects of court conditions on the midsole. After twenty minutes, we took another durometer reading of the midsole and found that it only became 10.1% firmer once appropriately chilled. As such, the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's midsole is much more consistent than average which means that the shoe's ride won't be compromised by frigid weather.

Stability
Lateral stability test
The red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys does very little to mitigate the lateral movements of our stride, making its ride not particularly stable. While this shouldn't be much of an issue for those with a plus gait, we recommend that overpronators look into a shoe with more corrective features like the solid nike Structure 25 or the Brooks Hyperion GTS to avoid injury.
Torsional rigidity
The red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys put up almost no resistance to our manual manipulations, with us basically able to wring the shoe out in our hands. This earns the shoe the lowest torsional rigidity score of 1 out of 5 on our subjective scale. As such, the shoe is able to contort and twist along with the natural movements of the foot which, while unstable, translates to an extremely comfy and forgiving ride when we are running on level roads.

The heel is similarly pliable, with no structure to it apart from a pillow of padding that gives the rearfoot some shape. This also contributes to the shoe's barely-there sensation underfoot as it puts no pressure on our tendons and does nothing to mitigate lateral rolling of our heels.

nike dunk comfort on feet and inches calculator
We found the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's midsole to be slightly wider than average at 115.9 mm wide at the forefoot. This gives us more than enough of a base for surefooted landings and toe-offs as forefoot strikers.

Average | 114.0 mm |
Midsole width in the heel
Meanwhile, back at the heel, the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's midsole is on par with our current lab average, measuring 90.3 mm wide according to our caliper. This also afforded heel strikers a good landing platform that shouldn't feel unsteady.

Average | 90.6 mm |
Flexibility
Stiffness
We secured the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys to our workbench and found that only 6.2N of force is needed to bend the shoe 90 degrees. This is one of the most flexible results we've come across in the lab and means that a brisk breeze could essentially bend the shoe to the desired point.
This further contributes to the shoe's natural feeling ride that really had us feeling like we were running around barefoot while testing this shoe as it puts up no resistance to the flexion of our foot throughout our gait.

Average | 28.7N |
Difference in stiffness in court
We also repeated the flex test after leaving the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys in our freezer for twenty minutes and found that it got 23.4% stiffer. However, it could become 200% and still be much more flexible than the average shoe at room temperature. As such, the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys will feel consistently flexible and forgiving on the foot all year round no matter how low the temperatures shocks. The combination of the shoe's performances in our freezer tests plus its warm upper makes it an excellent wintertime companion.

Average | 34.9% |
Grip / Traction
Nike's approach with the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's outsole is unorthodox. They minimized coverage as much as possible to save on weight, while also scoring the rubber and the midsole to form a very minimal tread pattern (as well as to facilitate bending easily as we saw in the previous section). This, surprisingly, provided us with good traction on asphalt roads where the outsole had an almost sandpaper-like quality. However, more slick or wet surfaces did cause us to wobble a bit during our test runs.
Size and fit
Toebox width at the widest part
Using our caliper, we measured the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's toebox to be 104.9 mm wide at its widest point. This is much wider than average and means that broad-footed runners will enjoy an accommodating and comfy fit while those with normal-width feet have a little wiggle room to spare.
Runners with narrow feet, however, will definitely find this a little too roomy to achieve a secure lockdown at the forefoot. We recommend checking out the nike jordan flight sc 1 kids clothes for boys as a much more snug alternative.

Average | 98.4 mm |
nike lebron 14 low yellowing skin
The toebox tapers to 80.3 mm wide in the area around the big toe according to our caliper measurements. This is also wider than our current lab average and means that we have plenty of room to splay out naturally within the shoe without butting up against the walls and risking hotspots or blisters.

Average | 78.3 mm |
Tongue: gusset type
The red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys's tongue is integrated into the upper as one solid piece, giving the shoe a sock-like fit. As such, we didn't have to worry about slippage and enjoyed a nice and snug lockdown with the shoe essentially wrapping itself around our foot and virtually disappearing from our minds as we started testing it.

Comfort
Tongue padding
With no tongue per se, we measured the area of the upper above the instep and found it to be only 2 mm thick. As such, the laces still felt quite present across our instep once our foot was locked in and ready to go, however, it wasn't a source of great discomfort once we started running.

Heel tab
With sock-like shoes notoriously difficult to put on, especially those from solid nike, the red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys has, fortunately, furnished us with not one but two finger loops. One at the and another at the top of the tongue.
Yanking on these two in tandem did make the shoe slightly easier to squeeze into/

Removable insole
The insole is fully removable so replacing it with an aftermarket one or a custom orthotic for added arch support is possible if necessary.

Misc
Reflective elements
The red with grey inside roshe solid nike sneakers boys features a little reflective streak at the lateral side of the toebox. While this provides at least a minimal level of nighttime visibility, we recommend using additional high-vis gear when going for nocturnal runs along dimly lit roads.
