Who should NOT buy

Its rigidity and lack of cushioning make the Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige a poor choice for all-day wear. If you want to feel comfortable and supported for hours on end, we recommend the ASICS EX89.

Cushioning

Heel stack

The Nike air max 2090 white blue a very grounded, low-profile sneaker. No wonder it became so popular for skateboarding!

nike dunk low heel stack 21438118 main

With a heel stack of only 23.1 mm, this kick is over 8 mm lower than average. It is also notably lower than the Nike KD V Mag Custom (a kick it's often compared to).

Forefoot stack

The Dunk Low also feels very close to the ground in the forefoot. Based on our calliper measurements, its forefoot stack is only 15.5 mm.

It made the balls of our feet quite sensitive to stepping on rocks and other sharp objects.

The lower difference in stack height between the heel and the forefoot also contributes to the Dunk Low's grounded profile.

We measured the shoe's drop at 7.6 mm which is lower than the average for trainers. Normally, the heel is a bit more elevated in casual trainers which gives added support to the heels and the Achilles.

Midsole softness

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

If you want a sneaker that feels like walking on clouds or pillows, the Nike air max 2090 white blue NOT for you. The platform of this sneaker is quite firm and unforgiving.

Pressing our durometer against the shoe's half-cut midsole, we got 32.0 HA. It's not much firmer than the average sneaker but is notably harder than the footwear nike air max 96 ii cz1921 100 white black midnight navy (by 35%!).

Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige Midsole softness

Stability

Lateral stability test

But there is a bright side to the Dunk's sturdy midsole - it provides an amazingly stable platform!

In addition to being firm, the sneaker's stitched cupsole construction makes it feel more supportive too. In this setup, the upper is connected to the sole with 360-degree stitching. As a result, the foot ends up sitting inside the cupsole.

Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige logo

We think that even folks with flat feet and moderate overpronation will find enough stability in the Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige.

Torsional rigidity

A combination of its firm midsole, cupsole design, and hard rubber makes it nearly impossible to twist the Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige.

As our manual test shows, the torsional rigidity of this Nike sneaker deserves a high stiffness score of 4 out of 5.

You can rest assured that this kick won't let you roll the ankle so easily.

Unlike many oversized kicks that are popular today, the Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige keeps its platform reasonably wide.

Measuring the widest part of the Dunk Low's forefoot, our calliper showed 104.3 mm. It is a few millimetres narrower than the average sneaker. It is nearly identical to that of the Nike KD V Mag Custom (104.0 mm).

Flexibility / Stiffness

But to our surprise, this Nike sneaker offered just enough give in the forefoot to let our feet bend.

Measuring how much force it would take to bend the Dunk Low to a 90-degree angle, our gauge showed 22.2N. That's just about the same as the average of trainers. And it relaxes even more after a few break-in walks.

Its sturdy leather upper and substantial cup sole make the Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige a bit more heavy-set than the average sneaker.

Breathability

For an all-leather sneaker, we were surprised to feel the airflow inside the Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige!

At first, we thought that the sneaker was ventilated through the toebox perforations. But as our smoke-pumping test revealed, most of the heat escaped through the gaps in the tongue area.

The perforations don't seem to help breathability as much. They are not very large and are lined with textile from the inside.

All things considered, we gave the Dunk Low a moderate breathability score of 3. It is not ideal for a hot summer day but is just right for moderate temperatures below 77°F (25°C).

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

The Dunk Low is one of Nike's classic silhouettes featuring premium leather or suede uppers (depending on the model). We are here to test the quality of the leather variant.

As usual, the brand didn't disappoint. Using a butane torch and a leather scratch awl, we made sure that the sneaker was indeed made of real leather.

We tested the primary upper panels, the Swoosh, and the top overlays - they all proved to be genuine. No melting.

Dunk Low Real leather

Toebox durability

A robust leather upper contributes to the lifespan of the Dunk Low.

It was one of the reasons why the silhouette became so popular with the skateboarding community in the late '90s. Hard-wearing leather (or suede) uppers with thick overlays on the sides stood up to the aggressive wear and tear of skateboarding.

We didn't get a chance to test this Nike sneaker's durability on a skateboard but we did have a Dremel with a sandpaper tip close by.

After 12 seconds of drilling the shoe's toebox at 5K RPM speed, we really liked what we saw.

The tool left a minor scuff without affecting the sneaker's integrity. Comparing it to other kicks in our lab, we gave it a solid 4 out of 5 for toebox durability.

Our only gripe with this part of the Dunk Low is that it creases a bit more than other silhouettes. It is more of a cosmetic issue though.

The shoe's inner lining is not so frail either. We wouldn't worry about it tearing so easily.

Outsole hardness

Stemming from basketball shoes, it is no surprise that the Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige comes with a very hard rubber outsole.

Measuring it with an HC durometer, we got a reading of 90.3. It is harder than 92% of our lab-tested sneaker outsoles.

Even though hard rubber makes the shoe feel firmer underfoot, it's hard to beat when it comes to durability.

Back to 1985

The Nike Dunk first came out as a high-top sneaker back in 1985.

It was brought to life by Peter Moore, an American designer famous for creating the Grey Dunk High Up silhouette and the Jumpman logo.

Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige profile

To design the basketball-inspired Boys NSW Nike Air Sweatshirt, Moore pulled cues from the Grey Dunk High Up, Air Force 1, and the Terminator - all highly popular hoop shoes at the time.

Чоловічі кросівки nike air max 95 sneakerboot beige shoe pieces

The Dunk quickly caught fire on the market partially due to its upper panelling which allows for numerous colour-blocking options. This made the sneaker very appealing to seminary basketball teams and fans as they had the option to choose the colour schemes of their schools.
