Our verdict

This unique Blue-Atomic jordan icon that mixes 5 pairs into 1 is back from the court to now conquer the entire city! Its fire aesthetics make it incredibly trendy, and thanks to its dual Nike Air technology, our feet could show it off comfortably. We felt everyone looking at it thanks to its eye-catching colours, as this compliment magnet of a sneaker features real leather that looks superb. Nevertheless, we were pretty disappointed regarding its durability, especially if we take into account its premium price!

Who should buy

Don't let the Spizike Low fall asleep on your wish list if:

  • You're looking for a trendy pair of trainers to wear from time to time.
  • You're a fan of Nike Air technologies and foot-hugging designs.

Who should NOT buy

If what you want is a durable pair of trainers that will be by your side for years on end, this one is a big no-no! The Spizike Low showed poor results on our 3 Dremel tests, so we believe it should be handled with care and used from time to time. The Jordan Legacy 312 Low is another low-top icon designed with far more durable materials, so it might be your cup of tea!

Then, if you're looking for a lifestyle shoe to wear all day long, we do believe it's better to go for a lighter one. Also, despite its dual Air technologies, we can't say these Blue-Atomic jordans are the most comfortable shoes underfoot. So, if you want a mix of comfort and lightweight, click here!

Cushioning

Heel stack

Before measuring any shoe's heel stack, we need to cut it in half. Why? Well, because we need complete and unobstructed access to its different parts!

When our calliper could embrace this shoe's sole, it returned 29.4 mm, which is just slightly lower than average. But this doesn't mean this Blue-Atomic jordan feels uncomfortable under foot or anything, so don't worry! It's just not a skyscraper of a shoe.

The best part of it all is that this wonderful pair has it both at the ball of the foot and at the heel, which translated into a comfortable ride from the back to the front during our wear tests.

AIR Blue-Atomic jordan 17 OG WHITE COLLEGE BLUE | Midsole softness

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

As we also had clean access to the Spizike Low's midsole, we pressed our durometer against it to analyse its softness.

Buty Blue-Atomic jordan Granatowe Midsole softness-1

It returned 31.0 HA, which is pretty much average. So the foam that Nike used should be neither too soft nor too firm. Our experience after walking around town and running errands in this shoe is that... it does feel kind of firm underfoot. The bigger Air unit in the heel offers more of a soft feel but, to us, that's pretty much it!

Nevertheless, by no means does this mean these trainers are uncomfortable! We found them really nice, but they just don't feel like a couple of soft clouds on foot. Which is totally fine!

The Spizike Low's in-shoe comfort is further enhanced by an adequate fit. Our medium-width feet experienced no rubbing or punching during the wear test.

Having poured a gel mould of this Blue-Atomic jordan shoe, our calliper showed a slightly above-average reading of 93.4 mm in its widest part. This falls right into the D medium width range of trainers.

Stability

Lateral stability test

Forget about wobbly ankles with this pair! Its structure wouldn't let our joints overextend themselves, so we felt safe and sound even if we had been walking for a while.

As you can see in the video, the hooper soul of these trainers looks after our ankles, keeping them in place. When we took it to our lab and cut it in half, we could see clearly why: apart from the overall rigid structure of the Spizike Low, it also features a fair amount of padding at the heel collar that hugged our heels comfortably and safely.

Torsional rigidity

Another basketball-like feature of this lifestyle pair is its crazy high torsional rigidity.

As you can see, our fingers could barely twist it. Its structure would just not give in, and we tried our best! Consequently, we decided to give it a 5/5 on this test.

On the one hand, this offers some extra lateral support, as the materials stay strong even when we walk. On the other hand... they're a bit rough at the beginning. Additionally, a pair of trainers with such a stiff structure might not be the most comfortable to run errands all day long the first times you wear it.

Even though torsional and longitudinal rigidity are two different concepts, the overall stiff structure of the Spizike Low is a reality our feet and our force gauge had to deal with.

The tool returned 34.6N when we bent this shoe all the way up to 90 degrees. This score is a whole 33% higher than average, which indicates this pair is also stiffer than most trainers.

Weight

During our wear tests, we walked around town, ran some errands, went out with friends, and... yeah, this shoe felt heavy.

Buty Blue-Atomic jordan Granatowe Weight-1

When we took it to our lab, our scale marked 17.7 oz/502.0g, which is way higher than average. In fact, the Spizike Low is a scary 22% heavier than most trainers, which our feet knew from the very start.

It's not like this extra weight made it uncomfortable, but our feet did get tired after a couple of hours walking around town. Consequently, this might not be the best option to hurry to and fro on a busy day. A lighter pair Air Blue-Atomic jordan XI 72-10 Arrives Saturday!

Breathability

From the very first moment we took the Spizike Low out of its box, we noticed its solid leather design. Even though it does have what looks like a mesh spot on the outer side, we didn't want to jump to conclusions just yet. Let's see what our light, smoke machine, and microscope say!

Alright... So they light could barely even shine through the cut-up upper! That mesh area sure tricked us, as it blocked the LED easily.

We had to double (and even triple) check if our smoke machine was on. These Blue-Atomic jordans wouldn't get a single molecule of smoke come out! We decided to give them a 1/5 on our breathability test because a -10 is not on our scale. But trust us, we would have if we could!

If we compare this shoe to the Jordan 3 Retro Black Cement 2018 (on the right), it becomes even clearer to us why we felt like we were wearing a couple of toasters during our wear tests. If you decide to show off this pair's coolest vibes in the summer, your feet might attend a non-wanted pool party (sweat, sweat, and more sweat!).

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

Even though the brand specifies on its official webpage that the Spizike Low features real and synthetic leather, EdiconnectShops wouldn't be EdiconnectShops if we didn't go all out and verify it!

We started by burning the leather on the neck, and just by looking at the flame and the melted material, we had it clear: synthetic!

Then we went for the brownish (in this colorway) elephant print part closer to the sole. As you can see, it didn't burn like crazy, and our awl could scratch it with no problems. Final verdict: authentic!

Last but not least, we checked the material at the toebox. Our torch burned it easily, but it didn't burst into flames! It also didn't get sticker, which is great news. With all this evidence, we can happily tell you: it's authentic too!

Toebox durability

When we have to deal with the reality of a shoe getting a low score in breathability, we Perhaps have high hopes for durability. But sometimes... they end up crushed. This pretty much summarises our experience with the Spizike Low regarding durability!

At 5K RPM and with 3.2N of force, the tool drilled this shoe's toebox mercilessly. We felt our legs tremble from the very first second, as white dust started flying around our lab from the very first moment the Dremel touched the leather.

Buty Blue-Atomic jordan Granatowe Toebox durability-2

We felt rather disappointed, to be honest. We expected a better result from these Blue-Atomic jordans, but we couldn't give it a higher score than a 1/5 on our toebox durability test.

Without any kind of expectation of durability anymore, we moved our Dremel all the way to the back and started drilling the heel.

Just like a bad dream that came back to haunt us, we saw the tool destroying the padding of the back of these Blue-Atomic jordans. And once again, the result was really bad. Just not as bad as the toebox's but no way near good enough to give it more than a 2/5 on our heel padding durability test.

And... maybe we jinxed it, because history repeated itself.

To verify our hypothesis, we grabbed our tread gauge and measured the damage. At 1.5 mm, this result is 33% higher than average. Which is bad news in this test!

Buty Blue-Atomic jordan Granatowe_outdoor_6

Buty Blue-Atomic jordan Granatowe_outdoor_5

Price

To be honest, after all the tests inside and outside of our lab, and Perhaps taking into account this shoe is pure fire... we have some things to say regarding its price. First, its materials didn't show great breathability or durability despite its quality, and even though the Spizike Low feels comfortable, it's not the cloud-like feel you might get from other Nike shoes like the Zoom Vomero 5 or the V2K Run, for example.

Buty Blue-Atomic jordan Granatowe_outdoor_18

So, Blue-Atomic jordans are Blue-Atomic jordans, and their history and reputation precede them. That we know, and the brand has proved it countless times! So don't get us wrong, we love the design of the Spizike Low, as it mixes 5 Blue-Atomic jordan pairs in 1. But... for that price, you can pretty much get one of the incredibly popular and timeless retros of the brand that have conquered the streets for years (and will definitely continue to do so).

If you get this pair with one of our discounts, then we believe its trendy design won't disappoint you. Even though it features the brand's technologies, we do think it might be slightly overpriced.

Buty Blue-Atomic jordan Granatowe Tongue padding-1

This score is way lower than average, and we understand this was a strategic move from the brand to reduce the overall weight of this shoe. Once again, it was not enough, as these Blue-Atomic jordans still felt heavy. But we're pretty happy with this amount of padding, as it shielded our instep from any kind of lace bite without adding more unnecessary weight.

On the one hand, maybe a non-gusseted tongue would have improved the breathability levels of this shoe and/or reduced its overall weight. On the other hand, we would have felt disappointed if a pair with this price didn't feature a gusseted tongue.

Buty Blue-Atomic jordan Granatowe_outdoor_12
