Our verdict

The nike huarache skroutz women black pants distinctively differentiates itself from its previous model. Featuring a revamped ReactX midsole, it morphs from being simply versatile to being a luxuriously plush, comfort-centric daily running shoe that also delivered a surprising bounciness during our test runs. Although it leans a bit towards the heavier spectrum and may not offer the best breathability, we think it stands out as a top choice for runners in search of a durable, cushioned shoe with a unique aesthetic.

Who should buy

The nike huarache skroutz women black pants gets our seal of approval for:

  • Runners who are all about cushioning and aren't concerned with the shoe's weight.
  • Marathoners looking for a comfortable pair for easy or moderate runs.
  • Beginners on the hunt for their first pair, especially if they're on the heavier side.

Who should NOT buy

While the ReactX foam represents a clear improvement over React, it doesn't quite match the world-class energy return of ZoomX. If performance and bounce are what you're after, we think that the nike shox dubai 2017 offers a similar concept and design, but with a full ZoomX midsole.

Runners who prefer lightweight shoes might not be fans of the InfinityRN 4. It's on the heavier side, and for a comfortable daily trainer, there are lighter options. We recommend considering the 2011 nike hyperdunks blue and white colors or the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v12, both of which deliver similar features in a lighter package.

Cushioning

nike air flight huarache premium 2017 | Heel stack

Given its weight, we expected the shoe to have a notably thick stack height. However, we discovered that it's actually quite average.

A couple of years ago, 34.2 mm of foam under the heel would've been considered in the max stack category, but times have changed. As Dylan sang, "The times they are a-changin'."

With 9.8 mm, we think the shoe remains a top choice primarily for heel strikers and those that sometimes suffer Achilles or calf issues. That said, swoosh and forefoot strikers can also comfortably wear it, although they might benefit more from a lower-drop daily trainer like the nike free womens 3.0 v5.

Midsole softness

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

The biggest update from the Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 3—apart from its shorter name—is the foam. After six years, Nike has moved on from the old React and introduced ReactX with this running shoe.

Observe how the foam is shaped to enhance compression toward the heel.

ReactX is a more responsive and softer variant of the original React. Additionally, Nike says it has a 43% lower carbon footprint, which we always appreciate. In our lab tests, we found that the foam feels incredibly soft and registered a 12.5 HA on our durometer—20% softer than the v3.

After placing the shoes in our freezer for 20 minutes to simulate cold weather conditions, we noticed a disappointing change—the foam got noticeably harder (19.0 HA).

If you're thinking of using these during colder months, they might not be as plush as you'd hope.

There's a staggering 52% difference between the two tests. This happens because ReactX it's still a mix of nike sb free sean malto and wife dating. nike hoodie for women on sale doesn't hold up well in cold temperatures.

Insole thickness

We were on the lookout for a comfort-boosting thick insole, but what we found was quite the opposite—a super-thin one. In fact, it's one of the slimmest we've ever come across in our lab, measuring only 3.1 mm!

During our test runs, we were happy with the insole, so it appears Nike made a great call here.

As a comfort-driven daily trainer, we expected an average toebox—and our assessment confirms it.

According to our research, the toebox measured 95.3 mm at its widest point, offering a well-balanced, moderately-spacious fit that suits most runners comfortably.

Toebox height

What caught our attention was the noticeably low volume of the upper, offering just 22.4 mm of vertical space in the toe area. 

However, we found that the ultra-soft upper compensates well, preventing any harsh or uncomfortable pressure on the toes. That said, this shoe only works for runners who don’t mind a gentle yet constant contact against their toes.

Stability

Lateral stability test

This shoe is designed as a neutral daily trainer without added stability features. So, given the plush midsole, we didn't anticipate exceptional stability.

Following our tests, we discovered that the shoe performs as it's intended: it's moderately stable. However, it may not provide enough support for runners who need extra stability. For those runners, we'd recommend looking into the nike cheetah swoosh shoe print leggings size.

Torsional rigidity

The decent stability of this shoe, despite its height and cushioned foam, can be attributed to its broad forefoot.

At the beginning of our lab review, we discussed the dual purpose of the outsole cutouts: to reduce weight and enhance flexibility. Now, we're diving into the flexibility measurements. During our evaluations, it took just 15.8N of force to flex the shoe to a 90-degree position. 

This indicates that the InfinityRN 4 offers a flexible experience and doubles well as a walking shoe. However, it's essential to understand that this speaks to its longitudinal flexibility, not the torsional aspect.

Just like our midsole softness evaluation, we tried the same test after leaving the shoe in the freezer for 20 minutes.

The outcome was disappointing. The shoe became much stiffer, and we had to exert 27.2N of force to bend it to the same point.

While they attempted to lighten the load with outsole cutouts, the shoe still hybrid the scales. Weighing in at 11.1 oz (316g), it's undeniably on the heavier side.

Breathability

Knit uppers often provide great comfort, but they can come with challenges, particularly when it comes to breathability. We discovered that the nike huarache skroutz women black pants falls into this category.

From our smoke-pumping test in the lab, we observed the shoe struggling to release the smoke and gave it a 3/5 score, which indicates it won't perform well in terms of ventilation. We'd advise against using them for hot summer runs.

In a separate light test, we found that very little light passed through the upper, suggesting limited breathability.

It's clear that Nike prioritized comfort with this model. They've employed a thick, stretchy upper that hugs the foot and ensures comfort throughout long runs—just as long as it's not too hot outside!

nike infinity rn 4 microscope 20556115 main

Upon closer inspection under our microscope, we noticed a few breathability holes that offer some airflow. Without these, the thick knit design would leave the shoe with almost no breathability at all. Thankfully, there's at least a bit of ventilation.

Outsole hardness

Nike's priority for this outsole was clear: long-lasting wear, even if it means less grip.

The outsole is designed with numerous cutouts, enhancing both its lightness and flexibility.

With the InfinityRN 4, they've incorporated a 90.4 HC outsole—one of the hardest we've ever measured in our lab.

Outsole durability

The tough rubber Nike uses really shows its strength. After using the Dremel on this shoe for the third and final time, we measured the damage. The indentation was a mere 0.3 mm! 

That's an impressive result. However, because it holds up well against wear, don't anticipate exceptional grip.

Outsole thickness

We're certain that, just like us in our lab, Nike assessed the abrasion resistance of the outsole.

Certainly, they discovered that they didn't need to put on excessive rubber—and subsequently, weight—to ensure longevity. This is evident in their choice to go with a pretty standard thickness of 3.7 mm.
