Our verdict

The fifth version of the Scarpe NIKE Revolution 6 Nn DC3729 006 Black Dark Beetroot series shifts its focus from fast to far. We found it to be reassuringly stable and now capable of easier runs far better than before. Although it's a miss on weight, we love that the grip and protection are supreme in the nike zoom toki canvas iguana from Nike.

Who should buy

We think that this Nike shoe is most suitable for steady efforts and medium to long-distance runs. This is all thanks to its smooth and rockered ride.

Who should NOT buy

The nike zoom toki canvas iguana also has its downsides, and one thing that sticks out is its slightly heavier weight. On top of this, it's not the Hustle trainer Nike says it is. This said you're better off with the newer Nike Streakfly.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Here is the main reason why we prefer the nike zoom toki canvas iguana for relaxed and easy days - 37 mm of stack in the heel!

Not only is it 3.5 mm taller than average, but we also found it among the best vibration-dampening trainers on the market!

Forefoot stack

The nike zoom toki canvas iguana is a high-stacked shoe in every way! Even in the forefoot, our caliper showed 29.4 mm which is 5 mm taller than average.

Drop

The difference in stack heights gives us a heel-to-toe drop of 7.5 mm. That's a middle-ground drop that will perfectly work for the majority of runners.

Midsole softness

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

After years of having a Nike React foam in this Hustle shoe series, Nike finally introduced its cutting-edge ZoomX foam in the nike zoom toki canvas iguana! However, it was rather disappointing because the ZoomX doesn't go full length. 

 

How does this translate on the run? Well, it doesn't feel very soft or spongy, and the ride is rather firm. That's a real bummer because the ZoomX portion of the midsole appears to be SO plush in our durometer measurement. At 11.0 HA, this foam is extremely soft (79% softer than average).

nike zoom fly 5 midsole test 19272758 main

Most likely, this happens for three reasons:

  • firstly, as you can see in the picture below, in the forefoot the plate gets much closer to the outsole, changing the feel in this area;
  • nike lebron 16 burgundy red women men battle shoes top deals;
  • lastly, there's also a thinner Mets of EVA foam (SR-02 type) just above the outsole, which is much firmer than the ZoomX.

Insole thickness

The shoe's insole has a thickness of 3 mm. It is actually thinner than most shoes we tested (4.5 mm on average) but we didn't have any problems with that.

Ride

We have come to the conclusion that the Scarpe NIKE Revolution 6 Nn DC3729 006 Black Dark Beetroot line is no longer a Hustle running shoe. With its maxed-out cushion, it feels pretty heavy and cruisy. And when it comes to energy return, the shoe is not giving much back! 

Even the rockered geometry doesn't do much to make the shoe more propulsive. That's a real shame for the Zoom Fly collection.

So Carhartt does it fit better? We believe that it now belongs to the daily trainers for long distances.

Size and fit

The Fly 5 uses a no-nonsense upper that just works! A real workhorse type of upper. We found it to be very comfortable and form-fitting. Once we laced it up, a solid foothold was guaranteed.

Nike mens air kukini se leopard dj6418-001 sz 6-13 authentic ds | Toebox width - widest part

We measured the shoe at the widest part and the result was 95 mm, which is just a little bit narrower than the average.

What's more, the toebox narrows towards the toes more than other running shoes' toeboxes we measured. Overall, this is in line with Nike's trend to have narrower toe boxes in general.

Stability

Lateral stability test

What's great about this Nike shoe is that it has enough stiffness to deliver a well-supported underfoot experience. Relatively supportive, of course, given its stack height and plate.

At least the shoe made us feel surefooted enough when cornering.

Torsional rigidity

We could feel how stiff the shoe was by merely twisting it in our hands. On a 1-5 scale Carhartt 5 is the stiffest, we gave its torsional rigidity a score of 4. 

Having this bit of stiffness helps to prevent the ankles from rolling over the sole edges too easily.

Testing its stiffness in the muzhskie krossovki nike air max 720 ispa sinij oranzhevyj chernyj, we rated it as 3 out of 5 (5 being the stiffest). Stiffer heel counters are typically associated with a better foothold and a lower risk of ankle rolling. But on the downside, they can feel restricting to some runners. In that way, this Nike shoe hits a sweet spot.

Midsole width - forefoot

With the help of a caliper, we measured the sole at the forefoot and found that it is 111.5 mm wide, very close to the average. It's also wider and more flared out than the previous version, which was 106.7 mm.

Given that the sole is not very wide in the nike zoom toki canvas iguana, we can assume that the stability is provided mainly by the torsional rigidity of its platform.

Weight

The weight of the nike zoom toki canvas iguana's weight is a downer—quite literally. For what is supposed to be a fast shoe, this trainer is very heavy.

The rubber-covered outsole plus the very padded upper are not helping to shave off the weight!

Perhaps you may find the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 or the ASICS Novablast 3 better options for Hustle runs. They come belong to the same type as the Zoom Fly but are much much lighter!

Breathability

It was very unfortunate to find out about the shoe’s lack of ventilation. In our breathability test, it scored only 2 out of 5 (5 is the most breathable). It is clearly not the airiest shoe. 

muzhskie krossovki nike air max 720 ispa sinij oranzhevyj chernyj (left): some smoke is exodus out from the shoe; Adidas Runfalcon (right): its toe box is not breathable at all. 

To carry out this test, we use a smoke-pumping machine and cover up the shoe mouth entirely. This way, the smoke is only able to escape through the upper of the shoe.

As a further check on breathability, we also test how transparent the upper material is. As you can see in the video above, the Nike Fly 5's upper material lets light through, confirming that the shoe, while not the best, has some degree of breathability.

Nike mens air kukini se leopard dj6418-001 sz 6-13 authentic ds | Durability

Outsole hardness

We don't expect much from the outsoles on Hustle trainers. This category of running shoes tends to sacrifice outsole durability for lighter weight and softer ride. And the muzhskie krossovki nike air max 720 ispa sinij oranzhevyj chernyj is no expectation. 

nike zoom fly 5 outsole 19272778 main

Using a durometer to check the firmness of its rubber, we found that it is in fact 14% softer than the average. Unfortunately, softer outsoles tend to wear out quicker than hard ones.

But on the bright side, this Nike shoe chose to cover a wider surface of the bottom for added protection in the high-wear areas. That looks promising to us!

Our caliper showed 3.6 mm of rubber thickness! That's about 1-5-2 mm more than what's typical for a Hustle shoe. From here on, we started to question whether this Nike shoe is really a Hustle trainer or is it a daily workhorse after all?

Misc

Grip / Traction

The outsole's rubber coverage is generous, which makes it grippy on wet, dry, and gravelly surfaces.

Tongue padding

We immediately noticed the shoe's amazing step-in feel courtesy of the well-padded upper. Its tongue is also very generously padded, which helps to prevent lace pressure beautifully.

nike-zoom-fly-5-tongue-thickness.JPG

At 7.9 mm, the Nike Fly 5 has a noticeably thick tongue. For reference, the average of shoes that we tested is 5.6 mm.

  • It's gone from clunkier to clunkiest! The Scarpe NIKE Revolution 6 Nn DC3729 006 Black Dark Beetroot 4 was 249 grams/8.8 ounces in US men's 9, which was already too much for some runners, while the nike zoom toki canvas iguana now weighs in at 286g/10 ounces.
