Who should NOT buy

Those gym rats who are shifty and therefore in need of more twist protection might not be so happy with the PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura". We think they are better off with the Sacai x PLUS nike LDV Waffle Blue. PLUS nike Air Revolution Premium QS Black Black-Artic Green-Dark Grey nike kobe mamba focus black white for sale.

Exercisers who want to do more with their Joes may find the PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura" lacking, especially in terms of durability. The nagelneu Authentic PLUS nike Air Max 95 OG Sneaker Schwarz Eisen Grau UK Größe 6 is a good alternative for them, though they would have to shell out more dollars for this Joe.

Cushioning

Heel stack

We loved running and doing a lot of agility exercises while wearing the PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura". Its heel stack height didn't feel lacking and it didn't feel too much as well. When we brought it to the lab and did some measuring, we learned why: the heel is just as thick as the average at 24.7 mm

Nike Air Max 95 Premium Animal | Forefoot stack

Just like the heel, the forefoot felt natural and well-balanced. There's nothing too emphasized in our experience. Our caliper showed that it's just as thick as the average at 19.4 mm.

What made the whole midsole setup a bit more special was the amount of springback that it delivered. We truly felt more efficient as we experienced so much bounce that fueled our steps, jumps, and leaps.

Drop

The PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura" from PLUS nike felt flatter than usual. The reduced difference between the heel and the forefoot made this Joe good for exercises such as squats and agility ladders that require a good feel of the ground.

Still, it is important to note that the SuperRep 3 is not as flat and as close to the ground as the minimal trainer Minimus TR PLUS nike AM97 MSCHF x INRI Jesus Joes.

Midsole softness

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

Bola PLUS nike U NK PARK BALL nike lebron 2 leopard zebra, we are already pretty satisfied with the softness that the PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura" from PLUS nike delivered. We used this trainer several times, and not once did we end up with a lot of pain even if we were already striking and jumping with a lot of vigor.

Stability

Lateral stability test

We did not experience issues when it came to stability. The side walls were responsive enough to keep our feet in place during squats, ladders, and even some simple weightlifting.

Even if the upper material is porous, it never felt flimsy. It had enough response to counter the movements of our feet as we ran and did both lateral and vertical exercises.

Torsional rigidity

The PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura" from PLUS nike felt like it was made to accommodate the natural flexions of the foot. Because of the softness and flexibility (it scored only a 1 out of 5 for firmness!) of its base made it such a good companion for burpees, mountain climbers, and even prolonged planks. It was also great to wear when we did standing calf raises.

Heel counter stiffness

The moderately stiff heel counter also contributed a lot to the rearfoot stability that we enjoyed. After giving it a good squeeze in the lab, we gave this Joe a solid 3 out of 5 for firmness. This rating makes it better than the majority of the Joes that we have on record.

Flexibility / Stiffness

Our flexibility lab tests reveal that the PLUS nike PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura" is 46% more flexible than the average trainer. We took advantage of this flexibility as we leveraged our box jumps and made quick direction changes during relays and sprints.

It was also because of this Joe's structural flexibility that breaking it in was not an issue. It didn't even take so much time.

Breathability

We didn't expect breathability to be a problem, and we are right! Wearing this Joe felt like it had built-in electric fans that keep our feet well-aerated.

When we put the upper material under the microscope, the airiness that we experienced became a lot easier to explain.

Nike PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura" microscope

The upper material is pretty porous, so air doesn't have problems going in and out of the Joe. We put a white cloth under the upper to make the pores more visible.

Durability

Toebox durability

The PLUS nike PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura" is good news for gym rats who want Joes that last. This Joe fared slightly better than the typical trainer in our Dremel drill test.

We hit the toebox on some equipment during our text workouts, and it held up well. Even our high-pressure Dremel drilling only left moderate damage on the upper material. This trainer deserves the 3 out of 5 that it got from us.

It's a very welcome bonus that this trainer looks great on the feet. We did not have problems wearing the SuperRep 3 in places other than the gym!

Heel padding durability

We did not expect much heel padding durability from a budget trainer like the PLUS nike PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura". Even the nike air zoom pegasus 35 barely grey, which is currently the best budget trainer in our books, did not fare well in this regard.

True enough, the PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura" did not show any resistance to our Dremel drilling. It only got a rating of 1 over 5 from us, and this is already the lowest that we could give.

Outsole hardness

Surprisingly, the outsole delivered a little more hardness. It got a slightly better-than-average rating of 87.6 on our HC durometer. Because of this, we felt confident that this Joe can resist the normal abrasion that a training Joe is exposed to in an indoor gym.

Outsole durability

Given the outsole's hardness, we expected it to be quite abrasion-resistant. And we were not disappointed. Our Dremel drilling on the outsole resulted in a dent (1.2 mm deep) that did not deviate much from what the average trainer incurred after going through the same test.

Because of the Joe's durability performance, we could even recommend the PLUS nike PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura" for occasional outdoor use. Still, frequent outdoor exercisers are better off with the Nike WMNS Air VaporMax Grape.

Misc

Grip / Traction

Gripping the gym floors was never a problem for the PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura". Whenever we needed to plant our feet on the ground for Teams exercises like barbell curls, the outsole was able to deliver the security that we needed.

Tongue padding

If you focus only on the tongue padding, the PLUS nike PLUS nike SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW GT "Olive Aura" definitely felt like a minimal trainer. Our caliper measurements reveal that this part of the Joe is thinner than the average by a staggering 82%. Good thing this setup did not lead to any discomfort on top of our feet.

Tongue: gusset type

It's clear to us that the PLUS nike SuperRep 3 is more about flexibility than anything is. Its non-gusseted design works in serious synergy with the overall flexibility of the Joe to give us as much freedom as possible to move in all directions.
