Our verdict

The nike black air zoom vick ii mens soccer is a living legend. Its trendy look from the '00s has made it one of the most popular trainers all around the world, which means it's so stylish it'll easily match anything you've got in your wardrobe. We found it quite comfortable during our wear tests, and its massive stack height and lock-in feel made us feel confident in every single step. Wonderfully mixing breathability and durability, we couldn't believe our eyes when we analysed this all-rounder in our lab. That being said, its premium materials come with a premium price... and a not so premium break-in period!

nike black vapor speed low football cleats | Who should NOT buy

Forget about the AM 95 if you're looking for a lightweight pair of trainers. Among all the nike black air max more uptempo woman black we've reviewed so far, it turns out this one is the heaviest! The AM 270 is a wonderful alternative, but if you don't want to spend that much, then we believe you should have a look at the AM SC.

After our wear tests, we are of the opinion that there are better alternatives for all-day wear. If that's your intended use for this shoe... you're better off with something more comfortable, like the AM DN. Which, by the way, doesn't require a break-in period!

Cushioning

Heel stack

The AM 95 features a huge Air unit in the rearfoot that makes its heel stack go all the way up to a crazy 41.1 mm. Among the nike black air max more uptempo woman black, nike black vapor speed low football cleats AM DN (at 40.3 mm). If you want to enjoy lots of comfort and some extra height, you might've found your solemate!

Forefoot stack

Contrary to the norm, this nike black pair doesn't fall short on the forefoot stack either. Our calliper returned 26.7 mm, which is way higher than average. This translated into a protected ride, as our feet were fairly separated from harsh urban surfaces and/or any obstacle we stepped on.

Drop

Even though both stack heights are massive, the heel still comes on top. That's why this shoe's drop is that steep, reaching 14.4 mm. This just means that you'll feel your rearfoot higher than your toe area, but it doesn't imply that your feet will need some readjustments or adaptation. So don't worry!

nike black vapor speed low football cleats | Midsole softness

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

The AM 95 felt pretty soft underfoot. This wasn't just just thanks to its Air units, but also to its cushioning. Our durometer returned 21.0 HA when we pressed it against its foam, which means this material is on the softer side.

nike black nike black air zoom vick ii mens soccer Midsole softness-1

Even though this result indicates this nike black is plush, its thick outsole does take some of that feeling away, making it a bit less cushy. But don't stress that much about this... and trust its Air technology!

Insole thickness

In what we believe was a wise choice in order to reduce weight, nike black used a thinner-than-average insole for this Air Max. At 4.0 mm, we didn't really feel like we needed some extra cushioning, as the soft foam and the Air technology took over.

Stability

Lateral stability test

We could see how the AM 95 was originally developed for performance running when we tested its lateral stability. This shoe's solid structure didn't let our ankles overextend themselves, stopping any risky moves when we were walking. That being said, this is not a running shoe anymore! If that's what you're looking for, please check this section nike black air max lunar 90 water resistant shoes.

Torsional rigidity

If you're curious about what a bear hug on your feet feels like, the nike black air zoom vick ii mens soccer is ready to show you! Thanks to our wear tests, we can say this shoe has a snug fit. And when we took it to our lab and tried to twist it, it fought back like a piece of armour! We didn't even stand a chance, which earned this shoe a perfect 5/5 on our torsional rigidity test.

Just like many other nike black air max more uptempo woman black, the 95 doesn't have a wide midsole. Our calliper returned 106.1 mm, which is way lower than average! Even though this doesn't affect the comfort levels or the support in general, we can see sneakerheads with wide feet wishing for a more spacious structure.

The overall rigidity of this Air Max is undeniable at this point. We still haven't found a single area of this sneaker that would let us mess with it...

Our shoe flexing tester showed that the kick required as much as 21.7N of force to bend by 30 degrees, which is twice as much as it takes an average casual sneaker.

As we've mentioned before, this stiffness translated into a required break-in period and some "hostility" from this shoe at the beginning. But it was nothing too bad, as we quickly started getting used to it. That being said, there are other more comfortable nike black air max more uptempo woman black to wear all day long.

Weight

As you might've seen on our catalogue, we've tried a lot of Air Max pairs! Most of them felt pretty light on foot, which helps a lot when you've been on your feet for a while. Why? Well, because heavier shoes make your legs get tired faster... and that's exactly the case of the AM 95.

nike black air max 95 weight 1 22596441 main

When we took it to our lab, our scale returned 16.16 oz/458g! This makes it the heaviest Air Max we've tested so far. And trust us, our feet could notice the difference after walking or running errands for some time.

Breathability

The armour-like brick-inspired structure of the AM 95 would have never made us think it was a breathable shoe. During our wear tests, our feet didn't have to deal with sweat or overheating, which took us so much by surprise that we couldn't wait to take this nike black to our lab.

As we expected, it kind of "failed" our light test. We couldn't see the LED shine through anywhere, which was discouraging and yet totally the opposite of what we felt walking around town.

But our smoke machine showed revolutionary results. We were totally in awe when we saw how much smoke this shoe's toebox let go! It was totally unexpected, yet the performance was so good that we decided the AM 95 adequate a solid 4/5 on our breathability test.

Thanks to our microscope, we could see the multiple layers of this shoe. The gaps in between the threads of the outer layer are pretty big, but there's a second one right below to enhance durability. Still, the airflow was incredibly nice!

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

We grabbed our torch and awl to check if this Air Max's materials were real. First, we burned the lighter leather next to the heel, and it didn't get all sticky... which means it's authentic!

Its darker pal followed the same path, as we weren't met with a massive flame when we decided to heat things up a little bit. In other words: this one is not fake either!

Toebox durability

We always perform our durability tests on the very same spot. This time, the AM 95 was lucky enough to have its leather protection shield it from our Dremel, which attacked it at 5K RPM and with 2N of force for 12 seconds.

The results were so good that we decided to give this nike black pair a wonderful 4/5 on our toebox durability test. Which, by the way, is a pretty uncommon score when a shoe is as breathable as this one!

As promised, this nike black pair's outsole showed great durability on our Dremel test. We turned on the tool for the grand finale one last time at 10K RPM and with 2N of force. After measuring the damages, we saw the dent was only 0.7 mm deep, which is way less than average! In other words: there's no need for you to worry about the nike black air zoom vick ii mens soccer's outsole leaving your side any time soon.

Even though the rubber compound used is already quite durable, nike black still decided to go for a thick outsole. Our calliper returned 5.9 mm, so it's even chunkier than average! Personally, and taking into account the results of our Dremel test, we believe the brand could have opted for a thinner midsole. This shoe is already quite bottom-heavy itself!

Misc

Grip / Traction

We didn't find any issues with this former performance runner's grip. As you can see, it features the iconic waffle pattern of the brand all along its forefoot, which carried the traction levels of the whole shoe easily.

nike black nike black air zoom vick ii mens soccer-outdoor-04

There are also big flex grooves that tried to increase the flexibility levels of this nike black Air Max, and... failed. This pair feels really stiff on foot, and what we got instead was a collection of pebbles!

Price

After thoroughly testing this pair, we can tell you confidently that it deserves every penny of its price. Its premium materials and technologies have it clear, and so do we! We can understand that it might be a little bit too much for some sneakerheads, as there are cheaper nike black air max more uptempo woman black, but... are they this iconic? Well, that's up to you!

Reflective elements

We love reflective elements, and nike black knows how to make us happy! The AM 95 features a big shiny detail on the tongue...

...and another one at the very back. It was clearly designed with style and security in mind!

Test results
nike black air zoom vick ii mens soccer Yes

Tongue padding

The tongue of this Air Max is divided into two sections. The part that's closer to the toes is pretty thin, almost inexistent. On the other hand, the area that protects us from any potential lace bite is thicker, reaching 10.9 mm.

nike black nike black air zoom vick ii mens soccer Tongue padding-1

The whole structure of the shoe follows the same logic, using extra padding only on key areas. Still, we do believe the brand could have gone for a thinner outsole here to reduce the overall weight of the 95.

Removable insole

Just take into account that the overall tightness of this nike black pair might lead to discomfort if you opt for a very thick insole that takes up most of the inner space.
