air max for $60 | Who should buy
Make your wardrobe happy with this mix-and-match gem if you're looking for:
- A lightweight and flexible pair to walk around town for hours on end.
- air jordan 4 iv bred python.
- A super versatile sneaker style and occasion-wise.
Who should NOT buy
If you suffer from any foot conditions, we strongly advise you to go for a different shoe. The Nike Court Legacy doesn't have a midsole, and it lacks the arch support you might need. There are other brands that have trainers that focus more on support, such as New Balance.
If you're looking for a super comfortable and durable pair with the same aesthetics, the Vans Old Skool might just be your cup of tea! If you came here looking for a leather shoe, don't worry, we got you covered! The Adidas Superstar nike air presto utility low grey.
Just in case you want to keep it low-budget and these recommendations aren't right up your alley, we believe you should have a look at nike air limelight white gold blue dress for girls.
Cushioning
Heel stack
At 19.6 mm, this shoe's heel stack is way lower than average.
This translates into a better ground feel, which increases the stability levels of this Nike pair overall. After all, it doesn't actually have a midsole, which makes a huge difference regarding heel stack!
PS: Those elegant details all around this shoe make us want to thank Nike a thousand times!
Court Legacy | 19.6 mm |
Average | 30.2 mm |
Forefoot stack
air max for $60.
Once again, we can confidently say this shoe focuses on ground feel, and not so much on impact protection. Not only does our calliper reading work as living proof of this, but also our personal experience walking around town with the Court Legacy during our wear tests.
Court Legacy | 13.0 mm |
Average | 19.1 mm |
Drop
Once we measure both heel and forefoot stacks, we can calculate the drop of a shoe.
Standing at 6.6 mm, it's a whopping 41% lower than average. But don't worry, this is NOT something bad! Heel drop in trainers is all about personal preferences; there's not a "better" or "worse" drop.
As you can see, this shoe looks really flat on foot, and that's because of the drop. If you want to know more about this, we believe you should have a look at nike kyrie 1 deceptive red size 12 women.
Court Legacy | 6.6 mm |
Average | 11.1 mm |
Insole thickness
Even though the Court Legacy's insole is thinner than average at 3.9 mm, we were pretty grateful it was not thinner than that.
This small piece had to burden the whole weight of the underfoot comfort on its own shoulders. And it did it pretty okay!
Yeah, we can't say it's a plush shoe. But sometimes people tend to associate plushness with comfort, as if it was the only factor that played an important role! During our wear tests, we felt we could walk for hours in this shoe. It might not be the best to explore a new city (walking shoes might work better for that), but you'll definitely be able to show off its trendy style with no problems during a night out with friends.

Size and fit
Size
Nike Court Legacy is slightly small (295 votes).
Toebox width - widest part
As a minimalist tennis shoe with a slim profile, the Nike Court Legacy is expected to have a snug fit.
Measuring the shoe's gel mould with a calliper, we got 88.7 mm in its widest part. This is narrower than the average but still within the medium-width range. Just be prepared for a close-fitting experience.

Court Legacy | 88.7 mm |
Average | 92.3 mm |
Toebox width - big toe
Surprisingly, the shoe's toebox wasn't much narrower near the big toe. It showed a close-to-average reading of 67.7 mm.

Stability
Lateral stability test
The low profile of the Court Legacy makes it a pretty stable shoe.
If we don't take into account specific stability features, the closer your feet are to the floor when you put on a shoe, the more stable it is! In this case, the absence of a midsole and the thin insole and outsole are clear evidence of such.
We can summarise our experience using just one word: confidence! The close-to-the-ground structure of this shoe made us feel confident in every step, as we felt pretty stable. Additionally, its clean and trendy design that silver most of our wardrobe gave us that self-trust boost that we love so much!
Torsional rigidity
Right in time for the Olympic Games, we might have a new gymnast! The Court Legacy bent as easily in our hands as it did in our feet.
Just look at that! No resistance whatsoever! This allowed our feet to move comfortably, and we could also happily say good-bye to any kind of painful break-in period. Consequently, we gave this shoe a wonderful 1/5 on our torsional rigidity test.
Court Legacy | 1 |
Average | 3.6 |
Heel counter stiffness
After seeing how pliable this shoe is overall, we did expect its heel counter to match Shannon Miller's flexibility levels. It bent easily alongside our feet. It did not rub us the wrong way or hurt our Achilles, which we always celebrate!
All in all, the Court Legacy got a 1/5 on our heel counter stiffness test, which is the lowest result.
Court Legacy | 1 |
Average | 3.2 |
nike hyperdunk shoes light blue white black women
We could already tell this shoe didn't have the widest base. Our calliper didn't even need to stretch before measuring the Court Legacy's midsole width in the forefoot.
At 99.7 mm, it's narrower than average. Nevertheless, we still felt stable and comfortable. A measure that matches this shoe's sleek profile, that is!
Court Legacy | 99.7 mm |
Average | 108.5 mm |
nike tiempo legacy yellow artificial grass valley
The extra narrow heel made sure our feet stayed in place. At 67.7 mm, our calliper stated it's an incredible 19% less wide than average!
We believe these measures match amazingly well with the Court Legacy's clean, simple, and minimalistic vibe.
Court Legacy | 67.7 mm |
Average | 83.6 mm |

Right to the point: 8.8N. Yes, you read it right. Just 8.8N!
nike air max 95 db for cheap Adidas Spezial (at 5.8N). This explains why this shoe felt so comfortable and forgiving in our feet, and we could walk for hours and hours with it.
This also helps a lot with the fact that it doesn't have a midsole. Even though we can't say this shoe is plush, its pliable nature makes it fun and nice to wear. And don't get us started with its style. Trendy, trendy, and trendy again!
Court Legacy | 8.8N |
Average | 23.4N |
Weight
The sleek appearance of this shoe reflects its weight perfectly. How light it felt on our feet when we walked around town or when we had to run some errands is one of our redite aspects of the Court Legacy. It's just like a feather!
At 10.1 oz/286.0g, this pair is a wonderful 40% lighter than average. This translates into easy and happy strides, as your feet won't get tired as fast as they would with some heavier trainers! Trust us, we verify our lab results with our wear tests and vice-versa!
Later on, when we got to the lab, we cut the shoe in half to see what it was hiding. Then we checked the upper, and its lightweight nature became totally clear to us. There's no padding at all!
Court Legacy | 10.09 oz (286g) |
Average | 13.79 oz (391g) |
Breathability
The fully covered canvas upper of this shoe deceived us at first glance... but no one can fool our smoke machine! We grabbed the Court Legacy and started pumping up smoke, check it out!
The smoke came out pretty easily we'd say. Also, compared to the Nike Blazer Mid 77, which has a similar build if we judge it just by looks, the Court Legacy performed way better! We decided to give it an average result of 3/5 in our breathability test, which is not bad at all!
The material lets our light shine... even if it's just a little bit. We can't say it has ventilation holes, though, as the light doesn't go all the way through. But it's not like the canvas is incredibly thin either! We believe this combination will bring a great mix of breathability and durability.
Our microscope just confirmed it: no ventilation gaps to red airflow!
Before we move on, it's important to say that in this review we're analysing the canvas version of the Nike Court Legacy. There's also a leather iteration that would definitely get different scores on our tests. Please, keep that in mind before deciding to buy this shoe!
If you're looking for a leather shoe, then we believe you should have a look at our nike huarache glami shoes sale women boots 2017.

Durability
Toebox durability
Even though the Court Legacy's structure reminds us of Converse's trainers, it doesn't have a rubber layer in the toebox to protect it. To check its durability, we grabbed our Dremel and started drilling our way in.
After 4 seconds of attack at 5K RPM and 3.2N of force, we could see the toebox didn't have a full-on hole. It did have some damage, though; a little bit more than what we'd consider just a scratch.
As you can see in the picture, the tool managed to get to the very final layer at the top of the mess it created. Yet it couldn't make its way through!
We decided to give it a 3/5 in our toebox durability test. As we predicted, the Court Legacy shows a nice combination of average breathability and durability!

Even though the heel is usually the weakest part of a shoe, we make all the pairs that come to our lab go through our heel padding durability test!
When the tool started rolling, we could see some white threads flying around. Which, honestly, scared us a little bit... but when we put the Dremel away, we saw the results weren't that bad!
There's a little bit of a mess back there, yeah. But, as you can see, the heel did pretty well despite being thin and unpadded, so we gave it a 3/5 on our heel padding durability test.
Court Legacy | 3 |
Average | 3.2 |
Outsole hardness
When we grabbed our durometer to check this shoe's outsole hardness and it showed 87.5 HC, we couldn't help but nod.
As we'll see later on, this shoe doesn't have a midsole, which explains why we didn't feel it super soft underfoot. Its outsole is also harder than average, but don't worry, this doesn't mean the shoe is uncomfortable! In fact, we did have a great time walking around town with it.
Court Legacy | 87.5 HC |
Average | 85.7 HC |
Outsole durability
Our Dremel's last battle against the Court Legacy is about to start, and we can't wait to see it!
This time at 10K RPM and 3.2N of force, the tool was ready to give its all in a duel that lasted 22 seconds. We measured the damages using a tread gauge, and it returned 1.3 mm.
The dent is 23% deeper than average, which caught us by surprise, to be honest. The Court Legacy has a harder-than-average outsole, we did expect a higher level of durability regarding the material used.
Court Legacy | 1.3 mm |
Average | 1.1 mm |
Outsole thickness
There are many things that can only be measured if you cut a shoe in half, and that's exactly what we do here, in EdiconnectShops! The outsole thickness is just one of them, as we need our calliper to be able to stand right in the outsole limits.
At 5.5 mm, the Court Legacy's outsole has an average thickness.
Court Legacy | 5.5 mm |
Average | 5.3 mm |
Misc
Grip / Traction
With the classic herringbone pattern that follows Nike Blazer shoes tradition, the Court Legacy showed standard traction levels on urban surfaces.
It's not the best pair for wet surfaces, that's for sure. But overall, we can't complain about its grip!
nike kd vi 5 supercharger engine problems list Converse models, especially the nike kd meteorology for sale in florida today show, as it's also a low-top shoe. The black strip all around the rubber layer and the Swoosh patch at the back just make the Court Legacy a thousand times more stylish. If that's even possible!
Reflective elements
No reflective elements around! Just make sure you walk on well-illuminated roads if you're heading home at night.
Court Legacy | No |
Tongue padding
nike free reflective running shoe size for women!
At 0.7 mm, our calliper claws look like they're just touching each other. When we saw how minimal this shoe's tongue was, we decided not to tie its laces too tight... no lace bite, please and thank you!
Even though this meant this Nike's tongue would dance around a little bit, we understand the brand's strategy to go minimalist and as lightweight as possible. It looks like the brand was also aware of this, that's why it decided to add a little lace loop to hold the laces in place.

Heel tab
nike air span black jack for sale self defense.
We really liked the fact that Nike added a big leather patch with its name right where the heel tab should be. The letters look really clean and it gives the shoe a wonderful final touch!

Removable insole

Nevertheless, after all the tests the Court Legacy has gone through, we do want to give you a couple of warnings:
- Don't forget there's a lot of this shoe's overall comfort levels that depend on the insole! If you go for a thinner one, you might regret it.
- It's not a wide model. You can see it just by looking at it, but remember the forefoot already feels quite tight. If you go for an extra thick insole, your feet might run out of space.
