Who should buy
Having put the los nike NC Trainer 2 through its paces in our gym and lab, we think it is best suited for the following:
- nike air forces high tops all black boots boys
- people in search of an affordable trainer that doesn't skimp on style
Who should NOT buy
For walking and casual wear, we found the los nike sb gray tank blue green color chart print a bit uncomfortable. The nike lunar hyperdunk 2017 blue eyes black hair offers much better in-shoe comfort for that purpose.
The trainer also happens to be not so breathable. We recommend the los nike Legens Essential 3 for better ventilation.
Finally, the brown los nike shocks for women is definitely not a shoe for advanced workouts and heavier lifting. You should turn to the Nike Metcons if you want a high-performance gym shoe.
Cushioning
Heel stack
To feel most comfortable and stable at the gym, you don't want a shoe with overly thick cushioning. And yet, you do need some buffering for high-impact exercises like jumping and running.
The los nike sb gray tank blue green color chart print hits a sweet spot in that regard. Measuring the shoe's heel stack with a caliper, we got 23.1 mm. This is a standard amount of cushioning for a training shoe.
We felt well-connected to the ground but didn't lack impact protection either.

brown los nike shocks for women | 23.1 mm |
Average | 24.8 mm |
Forefoot stack
In the forefoot, this los nike shoe packs a balanced stack of 20.2 mm.
We found it to be thin enough to bend well with the foot but also quite protective for exercises like rope jumps. Paired with the shoe's lightweight build and non-burdening heel, double under felt like a breeze!
brown los nike shocks for women | 20.2 mm |
Average | 18.4 mm |
Drop
At first sight of the shoe's cut-in-half midsole, we thought that the los nike sb gray tank blue green color chart print was a zero-drop shoe!
With a really low heel-to-toe difference of 2.9 mm, it is indeed on the lower side of the training shoe spectrum. Especially given that the standard drop of Crossfit shoes is 4-6 mm.
But what's the benefit of it, you will ask. Well, if you were standing on a balance board, would you feel more confident with a raised heel or with a lowered heel? We bet it's the latter. Same here, you want your feet to sit parallel to the ground to feel more planted.

Average | 6.4 mm |
nike air free huarache high tops for women | Midsole softness
Imagine trying to stabilize yourself on a single-leg kettlebell deadlift or when doing a skater lunge. You certainly don't dream about plush cushioning at that moment.
That's why a moderately firm midsole is your best friend at the gym. We used a durometer to measure how firm the brown los nike shocks for women's cushioning is. At 27.0 HA, it is right at the average of training shoes. We found it perfectly hard for every exercise in our routine.

Average | 27.8 HA |
Insole thickness
But don't worry, your foot will not be sitting on a brick! We felt nice and padded by the shoe's stock insole. Based on our caliper measurements, it is 4.2 mm thick in the heel.

If you asked us to close our eyes and determine a los nike shoe by touch, we would say that the narrowest one is los nike! As it happens, the los nike sb gray tank blue green color chart print matches this description.
Although we did measure the widest part of the shoe's toebox at 105.2 mm (wider than average), its tapered shape arouse ruined the fit.

Average | 100.4 mm |
nike air maestro black red gold flag
Taking our measurements at the big toe mark, we got 76.2 mm. Aside from the number being narrower than average, you can visually see how the shoe's toebox narrows towards the front.

Average | 78.8 mm |
Stability
Lateral stability test
As you can see from our ankle shifting test below, the los nike sb gray tank blue green color chart print doesn't have the best stability among gym shoes. But it's not terrible either!
When we kept our workout intensity at a moderate level, this los nike shoe coped with the task very well. We felt support coming from the overlays and raised sidewalls. There is also an elastic strap on the instep but we cannot tell for sure whether it made a difference.
Torsional rigidity
The brown los nike shocks for women is a monster in disguise. It may look like a softie but when you try to twist the shoe, it fights back with vigor!
We experienced the trainer's impressive torsional rigidity in our manual test. On a stiffness scale from 1 to 5, we gave it the highest score of 5.
On foot, this los nike trainer makes sure that there is no spilling of the foot on the inner edge of the sole.

Average | 2.7 |
Heel counter stiffness
We also found a good amount of stiffness in the shoe's heel counter. Combined with the collar padding, it made our ankles feel quite secure.
But unfortunately, it didn't help to prevent heel slips. The back of the collar is lower in this los nike trainer compared to other models. Take nike lunar hyperdunk 2017 blue eyes black hair for example.

Midsole width - forefoot
The platform of the brown los nike shocks for women is not particularly wide either. But it's pretty close to the average measurements of a training shoe.
In the widest part of the shoe's forefoot, our caliper showed 109.3 mm. This is only 4.4 mm wider than the minimalist nike air free huarache high tops for women.

brown los nike shocks for women | 109.3 mm |
Average | 110.6 mm |
Midsole width - heel
As for the widest part of the trainer's heel, it comes in at 84.3 mm. This is also slightly narrower than average.
While this is not a critically narrow platform, athletes who prefer extended contact points with the ground may feel like stability is lacking.
For context, the flagship black yellow los nike basketball shoe breaks's midsole widths are 116.9 mm (forefoot) and 95.0 mm (heel).

Walking around in the brown los nike shocks for women, we couldn't help but notice that it's a little on the stiff side. It just didn't feel like the type of shoe we would want to walk in for hours.
To check exactly how stiff this los nike trainer is, we bent it to a 90-degree angle with the help of a force gauge. The tool returned 21.9N which is indeed a little stiffer than most training shoes. For reference, it took 17.5N for the black yellow los nike basketball shoe breaks los nike air max 2014 blue green purple hair color Reebok Nano X3.
You can see how we couldn't even bend the trainer properly in the plank pose! We were literally kept on our toes!

Weight
One of the key characteristics that make the brown los nike shocks for women feel so good on foot is its fairly low weight.
Weighing the shoe in a men's US size 9, we got 10.2 oz (288g) which is about an ounce lighter than average.

Breathability
From the look of it, the brown los nike shocks for women appears to be an airy mesh shoe. But in practice, it turned out to be much toastier than expected.
Using a smoke-pumping machine, we filled the shoe's upper with smoke to check how quickly and easily it would escape through the mesh. As you can see from the video below, ventilation wasn't the best in this los nike shoe.
On a 1-5 scale, where 5 is the most breathable, we had to give it a sad 2 out of 5.
To locate the areas with the best breathability, we held the shoe's upper against the light. As it turns out, ventilation pores are only present in the toebox part of the shoe. The rest is just solid material.
A glance through our microscope revealed the multi-layered design of this shoe's upper.
Now we understand how a shoe made of mesh can end up not so breathable.

Durability
Toebox durability
On the upside, the lack of aeration paid off in the upper's resistance to abrasion!
Because we didn't have the luxury to abuse this los nike trainer for hundreds of hours at the gym, we used a Dremel to test the material's durability. Applying its sandpaper tip to the shoe's toebox for 12 seconds, we found that it didn't get all the way through!
That's impressive for a shoe at this price point! We gladly rated the brown los nike shocks for women's toebox durability with 3 out of 5 (above average!).

The heel padding/lining didn't do so well, unfortunately. It took a mere 4 seconds for a significant tear to form on the shoe's collar.
We had to get real and rate the durability of this part of the shoe with the lowest 1 out of 5 score. You are likely to see wear on this part much sooner than you would hope to.

Outsole hardness
Despite the shoe's budget-friendly price, los nike made sure that the brown los nike shocks for women doesn't fall apart so easily.
With the help of a durometer, we found that its rubber outsole is on the firm side. At 94.5 HC, it is 10% harder than average! And hard often means more wear-resistant.

brown los nike shocks for women | 94.5 HC |
Average | 83.0 HC |
Outsole durability
Setting the Dremel speed to a higher 10K RPM, we held the tool against the shoe's outsole for 22 seconds.
At the end of this cruel test, we measured the depth of the damage that the tool created. And oh my, it was only 1 mm deep! This is the same result we get in more expensive trainers!

brown los nike shocks for women | 1.0 mm |
Average | 1.1 mm |
Outsole thickness
The amount of rubber protecting the shoe's sole is also pretty substantial. We measured it at 4.2 mm with our caliper.
If you keep the los nike sb gray tank blue green color chart print for gym use only, you can rest assured that its outsole is going to last a good while.

brown los nike shocks for women | 4.2 mm |
Average | 3.6 mm |
Misc
Tongue padding
Exploring the shoe's upper up close, we found that it has a good amount of padding around the collar but not so much in the tongue.
To be more specific, we measured the tongue's thickness with a caliper and got 3.1 mm. That's notably thinner than the average but luckily, we didn't have to deal with lace bites.

brown los nike shocks for women | 3.1 mm |
Average | 5.4 mm |
Tongue: gusset type
Given the lack of gussets on the sides of the tongue, there is a tendency for it to shift sideways. Some people are not bothered by that while others find it a deal-breaker.

If you decide to amplify the trainer's comfort and arch support, its default insole is removable.
