Who should buy
The nike air max retro collection clothes is a must if you're looking for:
- Trainers that you can wear with oversized pants or skinny jeans (yep, those are still around).
- A shoe with a clean and minimalistic vibe that's suitable for many occasions.
- A flexible and durable sneaker with high-quality materials.
- A pair of Nikes that never go out of style.
Who should NOT buy
The nike lebron xi brave blue dress made us believe in love at first sight. It's clean, simple, fashionable, and minimalistic, which makes it incredibly versatile for multiple occasions. Nevertheless, it's a flat shoe; and trust us, it does feel flat! Consequently, we can't say it's the best pair to spend hours and hours walking around town. If you're looking for some foot companions to do exactly that, we believe you should have a look at our free people hybrid ankle boot.
nike dunks in gray and mint green dress pants boys Nike trainers and you don't vibe with the walking shoes style, maybe the Nike P-6000 and its trendy look are a good option. It's a very comfortable shoe and it has a lightweight and breathable design! If you want something with a more playful touch, the nike free run 3 womens purple neon shoes girls might be your cup of tea. And it's also insanely comfy!
Cushioning
Heel stack
It's time to talk about the nike lebron xi brave blue dress's stack, so don't forget what we said: it's a flat shoe!
At 17.5 mm, our calliper indicated its heel stack is way lower than average. This translated into great ground feel, maybe even a little bit too much. Why? Well, because we could feel pretty much every rock when we walked around town with it.
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 17.5 mm |
Average | 30.2 mm |
Forefoot stack

If we could already feel every rock when we stepped on it with our heel, with our forefoot we could literally feel every pebble!

Now that we have this clear view of the nike lebron xi brave blue dress would be the perfect moment to talk about its midsole... if it had any.
That lack of cushioning is what makes this Nike pair not suitable for all-day wear. We tried to run errands with it, but it took us too long and our feet ended up in pain. We found it more suitable to go out for dinner with friends, just a couple of hours chilling, and then give our feet a break.
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 6.0 mm |
Average | 11.1 mm |
Insole thickness
A very thin insole is the only cushioning you will get from the nike lebron xi brave blue dress.
At only 3.9 mm, this simple piece didn't do much for our feet. That's exactly why we don't recommend wearing this shoe for hours on end!

Average | 5.1 mm |
Size and fit
Size
nike air max retro collection clothes is true to size (714 votes).
Toebox width - widest part
The nike air max retro collection clothes fits exactly as it looks - quite snug and close-fitting. Having retrieved the gel mould of its interiors, we were able to measure its dimensions more precisely.
In its widest part, the replica showed 88.8 mm which is narrower than average but not critically. It is still in the medium-width range but you should expect a one-to-one fit.

Average | 68.8 mm |
Toebox height
Luckily, the Blazer's toebox is not too close to the toes with an ample height of 26.3 mm. Given that the shoe's leather upper has no stretch at all, that could've been an issue.

nike shox swift sale in ohio today show | Stability
Lateral stability test
The nike lebron xi brave blue dress has a high collar that can be lazed up all the way to the top. Even if that's not your style, let's not forget this shoe used to be a hooper, which means its quality materials still offer some lateral support.
We actually can't complain about it, just don't expect some crazy structured upper to hold your ankles in place like some specific basketball shoes do!
Torsional rigidity
Even though this shoe wrapped its collar nicely around our ankles, we wouldn't say its structure is designed to offer incredibly good containment or a fantastic lockdown feel.
As you can see, it bent alongside our fingers easily, so we decided to give it a 2/5 on our torsional rigidity test. This translated into easier and smoother walks around town.
We're talking about a casual type of shoe here, it's not a performance pair anymore! That's why we don't feel it needs to be more rigid than that.
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 2 |
Average | 3.6 |
Heel counter stiffness
The heel counter area follows the same logic. Despite its tall structure, it bent alongside our fingers easily. This translated into a soft structure that didn't hurt our feet at all.
Look at that! We really appreciated that pliability when we had to put the nike lebron xi brave blue dress on, as its design already makes it quite challenging.

Even though there's more space inside than what it looks like, it's definitely not a wide shoe.

And we can see that perfectly just by checking the midsole's width in the heel. Our calliper returned only 71.2 mm, which is a crazy 14% narrower than average!
Even though this model has a narrow outsole, we didn't feel unstable or anything like that during our wear tests.
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 71.2 mm |
Average | 83.6 mm |
nike shox swift sale in ohio today show | Flexibility / Stiffness
The minimal structure of the nike lebron xi brave blue dress showed us great flexibility before, and we tried to make it bow all the way to 90 degrees, it happily agreed.
At 12.9N, this makes it remarkably flexible. Honestly, we expected something like this when we took it to our lab. After all, we've tried lots and lots of shoes on, and this Nike pair was nice and easy to walk in from minute one!
In other words, it didn't require a painful or complicated break-in period.
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 12.9N |
Average | 23.4N |
Weight
We didn't feel this shoe was super heavy, but it definitely wasn't what we expected. When we saw it for the first time, our brain assumed it would be light just because of its structure. Nevertheless, when we put it on our scale... it completely disagreed.
Like, what on Earth do you mean 14.7 oz/418g?! That's way more than average, and the nike lebron xi brave blue dress doesn't look like a heavy shoe at all!
Well, let us tell you... there's more than meets the eye.
Even though, once again, these trainers didn't feel like a ballast for our feet, it's definitely not a Nike lightweight model.
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 14.74 oz (418g) |
Average | 13.76 oz (390g) |
Breathability
As soon as we saw the leather upper of this shoe, we guessed it wouldn't be the most breathable sneaker out there.
Even though our light could shine through the eyelets and those three ventilation holes near the sole, our feet didn't feel any kind of airflow during our wear tests.
Our smoke machine proved us right! Just look at the poor nike lebron xi brave blue dress on the left, just choking up... and on the right, we've got the Nike P-6000 letting all the smoke out like a pro. That's why the latter has a perfect 5/5 on our breathability test, and nike lebron xi brave blue dress a mere 1/5 on this same test.
Our microscope also gave us a hand to see what was up with the upper. As expected, the overall leather and the suede overlay didn't have any ventilation holes. In other words, it's impossible for the air to get through those materials!

Durability
Leather/Suede quality
To check if the leather of the nike lebron xi brave blue dress is authentic, we use a butane torch to burn it up and a scratch awl to see if it gets sticky.
Even though there was a little bit of a flame in this white part, the material didn't end up all melted, which means it's authentic!
But the inner lining... started looking like a gone-for-good chewing gum when our torch started dancing around. Consequently, this material is synthetic.
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | Real leather |
Toebox durability
Honestly, after the disappointing score in breathability of this shoe, we did expect it to do well against our Dremel. It's a tough fight, that's for sure, but we trusted the nike lebron xi brave blue dress and its wonderful upper.
Not even after 5 seconds could the tool get through the suede overlay! Showing who's boss here, this shoe's toebox scored a solid 5/5 on our durability test.
Look at that, spotting the damage is even harder than finding Wally!
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 5 |
Average | 3.7 |
Heel padding durability
When we moved our tool all the way back to the heel, we were crossing our fingers for it to be just as durable. But... we knew it was a pipe dream.
Our Dremel attacked this shoe's heel padding mercilessly at 5K RPM and with 3.2N of force. It managed to break the leather overlay and get to the padding, so we decided to give it a 2/5 on our heel padding durability test.
Even though this didn't have a negative effect on the shoe's integrity, we can ignore the fact that the tool took a good bite of the fabric!
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 2 |
Average | 3.2 |
Outsole hardness
We flipped the nike lebron xi brave blue dress upside down to check its outsole hardness.
At 84.0 HC, it's pretty much as hard as average. This means it offers a healthy mix of grip and durability, but there are two sections where we specifically talk about those features. Stay tuned and don't miss out!
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 84.0 HC |
Average | 85.7 HC |
Outsole durability
Our Dremel's final battle was here, and the nike lebron xi brave blue dress's outsole was ready to take it on a fight!
At 10K RPM this time and during the eternal wait of 22 seconds, the tool drilled the rubber compound nonstop.
We measured the damage with our tread gauge and it returned 1.2 mm. It's definitely not the best score we've seen, but as long as you wear this shoe on urban surfaces to walk around town (yeah, don't try to hoop in it. Despite its basketball heritage, that won't go well...), it should stay by your side for a while.
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 1.2 mm |
Average | 1.1 mm |
Outsole thickness
To measure any shoe's outsole thickness, first we need to cut it in half. We know this makes it pretty much unwearable, but it must be done to give you the most accurate data.
At 5.8 mm, it's pretty much average, so there's nothing special about it. But before we move on, let us tell you one thing that you can probably guess just by looking at this picture: the nike lebron xi brave blue dress feels flat!
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 5.8 mm |
Average | 5.3 mm |
Misc
Grip / Traction
We headed out to the streets and, once again, we were welcomed by the iconic spiky herringbone pattern. You're probably familiar with it by now, right? And well, you know what they say: "If it isn't broken, don't fix it!".
nike light blue basketball shoes lightning Killshot 2! And even though it features the same pattern as the nike lebron xi brave blue dress, it's got a gum rubber outsole.
For real now, this is the outsole of the nike lebron xi brave blue dress. We didn't have any issues with it. And honestly, we can proudly say we were pretty happy with how it performed! Most likely following its basketball heritage, the nike lebron xi brave blue dress bit well on urban surfaces.
All in all, it did its job well. And we can't ask for more!
Reflective elements
We checked if the nike lebron xi brave blue dress had any reflective elements in our lab.
As you can see, ironically thought, it doesn't have any!
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | No |
Tongue padding
The deconstructed tongue of this shoe might as well be the star of the show!
At 9.2 mm, its padding is standard, nothing otherworldly. But! Look at the inner yellowish foam, it looks like egg yolk, right? The key point of the nike lebron xi brave blue dress is that this detail is deliciously nike air max thea print grey and black pants girls.
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | 9.2 mm |
Average | 9.3 mm |
Heel tab
As many leather Nike casual trainers, the nike lebron xi brave blue dress features a heel tag with the brand's name instead of a heel tab.
We love this clean touch, as it adds extra style points to the minimalistic vibe of the shoe.
nike lebron xi brave blue dress | None |
Removable insole
This Nike pair features a removable insole, look!
That means you can easily use your own orthotics. Nevertheless, it's important to take into account that this shoe's streamlined structure might not be suitable for every insole!
