Our verdict

The nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN is this year's incredibly popular Air Max release. Its design mixes retro and futuristic touches in a very balanced way, creating an iconic shoe that has conquered the hearts of sneakerheads and non-sneakerheads alike. It features high-quality and durable materials from the collar to the outsole, and it all comes in a pretty lightweight structure. The star of the show is the visible Air unit at the heel, which boosted our height and our confidence from the very first minute. This technology offers a comfortable and energetic ride that we enjoyed from sunrise to sunset on our wear tests. But these gems are hard to find even with their price point!

Who should NOT buy

With how incredibly popular the Air Max DN has become, finding a pair is not an easy task. Everyone wants to get their hands on them, and we can see why! This allrounder is unique, but the nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation collection has many other models that might be worth checking out.

Despite its runner appearance, this Nike pair is definitely not a performance shoe! It's alright if you run in it to catch the bus or stuff like that, though. However, it's not made for running: we found it too unstable! But don't worry, Nike has many running shoes nike huarache free run 2012 trailer music Pegasus collection has incredibly comfortable and versatile models. Having a look at them is always a good idea!

Cushioning

Heel stack

Alright, it's finally time to talk about the star of the show! But before that, let us tell you that our calliper returned the crazy figure of 40.3 mm when we measured the heel stack of the Air Max DN.

nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN_outdoor_022

So, according to Nike, these trainers feature a Dynamic Air unit system of dual-pressure tubes, which consists of 2 sets that offer firmer pressure in the heel and softer towards the midfoot. This supposed "next generation" design reminded us a lot of the nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation Plus!

nike air max dn outdoor 09 21893845 main

In our opinion, it looks absolutely stunning. It feels like a mix of a futuristic and a retro style with this almost fully visible technology. However, when we walked with the Air Max DN around town... we didn't actually feel all that softness the brand was talking about.

Yeah, we did feel a little bit of bounce, but nothing that we'd label as soft. In fact, this shoe felt rather firm at the heel! This doesn't mean that it was uncomfortable on foot or stuff like that, we undoubtedly enjoyed wearing it during our wear tests. However, if you're expecting Nike's "this feels like a cloud" foam, this ain't it!

Forefoot stack

Despite the 24.5 mm of forefoot stack, this shoe's toe area felt closer to the ground than the heel.

As you can see in the picture, it doesn't have any brand technologies. We can't say we didn't expect it to, though, as the brand talked about "a smooth transition as you step" in this shoe's description.

nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN_outdoor_06

Still, it felt comfortable and it wasn't hard to walk in at all! The Air technology moved alongside our feet, but as we said, it's nothing like the cloud-like feel of other Nike trainers.

Drop

With that massive heel stack, we expected nothing but a huge drop. And that's exactly what we got.

nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN Drop-1

At 15.8 mm, it's pretty clear that this shoe's heel is way higher than the forefoot. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that your feet will have to get used to a new structure or anything like that!

Midsole softness

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

In this section, we're going to explain why the durometer's result in the lab and how we felt walking around with this shoe are completely different.

nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN Midsole softness-1

For a start, our gadget returned 21.8 HA when we pressed it against the Air Max DN's midsole. This score means it's softer than average. More specifically, a whole 25%!

We want to clarify that, in our experience, this shoe feels comfortable. That's for sure! But we noticed it was softer at the ball of the foot than at the heel. We believe this is because of the Air Max units, which offered a firmer feel to our heel despite the softness of the foam used the the whole footbed.

Toebox width - big toe

As soon as we measured the Air Max DN's toebox width at the big toe, we started nodding in agreement.

nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN Toebox width at the big toe-1

Our calliper stated its width goes all the way up to 79.2 mm, which is a lot! And, trust us, a lot but in the best way possible.

Additionally, the tip features a rubberized toe-bumper protective layer and a slightly rockered design to make transitions feel easier. Nike, you've reached the top with this one!

nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN_outdoor_013

Its spacious toebox let our toes relax and enjoy every step of the way during our wear tests. They could spread happily and comfortably, which is something we really appreciated when we had to spend long hours wearing this shoe!

Stability

Lateral stability test

Even though this shoe's lateral stability is pretty good, we don't think you should use it specifically for running.

As you can see, the high-quality and durable materials of this pair hold our feet in place. Nevertheless, its heel stack is undoubtedly more unstable than any other trainers that are designed to be closer to the ground!

nike air max dn outdoor 016 21893852 main

Torsional rigidity

When we took this Nike pair to our lab and tried to make it bow to us, it pretty much refused.

Its big midsole stood in the way, but it was mainly the grey piece (in this colorway) with the Swoosh the one that wouldn't let us bend this shoe. This stiff bridge between the forefoot and the rearfoot acts like a shank that adds some extra support, which explains why we couldn't really twist this Air Max.

Heel counter stiffness

As you can see in the video, the sides of the shoe collar are softer, but when we move our thumb to the Achilles area, things start getting serious. This toughie features an external heel counter that made sure our rearfoot stayed right where it should during our wear tests.

nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN_outdoor_03

This zone is pretty padded, just like other key points of the shoe to make it even more comfortable. What we liked the most about this design choice is that Nike also went for thin yet resistant material layers in the upper to offer a healthy mix of wonderful breathability and durability.

Bending this shoe all the way up to 90 degrees was not hard at all! We did expect so, though. During our wear tests, it moved comfortably alongside our feet!

At 20.4N, we loved how pliable this Air Max is! The best part is that its upper is durable, which is usually associated with rigid and tough materials (and it does have them, though, despite being a comfortable shoe), but it bends easily at the ball of the foot. Which is crucial to walk comfortably from the very first minute!

We can't say you forget you're wearing this shoe when you're walking around, but it did feel pretty lightweight to us! We wanted to see if our feet and our scale agreed, so we decided to bring this Nike pair back to the lab and check it out.

At 13.1 oz/370.0g, the Air Max DN is definitely on the light side of trainers. More specifically, it's a whole 6% lighter than average.

Breathability

During our wear tests, our feet felt pretty happy with the Air Max DN even if the temperatures were a bit high. Its mesh upper just gave that away from the very first moment we had this shoe on our hands, but we want to give you all the information we can.

First of all, our light test. As you can see in the video, our light shines brightly through this Nike's upper despite its multilayered mesh.

Second, our smoke test. It's pretty clear that this shoe didn't have any problems letting the air come in and out. Its toebox does a perfect job and we can see a thick and constant smoke column the the whole 10 seconds of our test. We were really happy with this result, which looks all the more impressive with the poor Nike Blazer Mid 77 by its side (as it couldn't get more than a 1/5 on our breathability test).

And third, our beloved microscope. In the close-up we can see a nicely woven mesh and some plastic and very thin overlayers.

Durability

Toebox durability

After scoring a perfect victory on our breathability test, we were actually a bit scared to get our Dremel and start this war. But there's no turning back now!

The 5 seconds of drilling felt like a soft breeze to the Air Max DN. Trust us, we were just as surprised as you are! We looked at the damage left for a while, but it was hard to spot.

nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN Toebox durability-2

The 3.2N of force and 5K RPM meant nothing to this Nike pair, so we decided it clearly deserves a 5/5 on our toebox durability score. Another A+!

We usually mention how the heel padding is the weakest area of a shoe. But, you know, after the wonderful performance (so far) that the Air Max DN is giving us, we don't know what's coming!

The 4 seconds of drilling at 5K RPM and with 3.2N of force didn't matter all that much to this Nike pair.

Outsole hardness

We put the shoe upside down and pressed our durometer against its outsole to check its hardness.

It returned 82.4 HC, which is just slightly lower than average. This result means that the Air Max DN offers a great mix of durability and grip, but we'll talk about that on their respectively corresponding sections!

Outsole durability

This new Air Max model is doing really, really well so far! But our Dremel had one last chance to prove its strength.

Attacking the outsole during 22 seconds, and this time at 10K RPM and with 3.2N of force, we saw rubber dust flying around. No kidding, we actually closed our eyes for a second after putting the tool aside!

nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN Outsole durability-2

But when we grabbed our tread gauge, we saw the dent was only 0.6 mm deep! That's actually an incredibly good result. It shows this shoe is ready to last, and we could actually tell so: the nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN is a display of what designing something with great care looks like.

Misc

Grip / Traction

Nike's waffle outsole never disappoints, and guess who's featuring it? (Drums, please). Exactly, our Air Max DN!

nike shox 4 classic parts store hours of operation DN_outdoor_04

As you can see, the brand's iconic tread pattern is in the forefoot, and its grip was fantastic. The rearfoot has a wavy design in the middle, separating a bigger waffle pattern on both sides.

nike air max dn outdoor 019 21893854 main

The red circles mark where the Air technology is, and we loved the colour-blocking touch! As we were saying, we're pretty happy with this shoe's overall traction. It bit every urban surface, and it's fully covered by rubber, which makes it fairly durable!

Reflective elements

As we verified in our lab, this Nike pair doesn't have any reflective elements.

We're very happy to announce that this shoe has a removable insole!

If you've read any of our other reviews, you might already know that we really like this feature. But it's even better in this case! Why? Well, do you remember we felt the Air Max DN kind of stiff at the heel? If you change its insole and use a cushy orthotic instead, the problem should be solved!
