pink max nike zoom hyper rev kyrie irving | max nike Dunk Low review

We believe that the max nike Dunk Low deserves a spot in your sneaker stack if:

• you appreciate basketball-inspired retro trainers with the '80s vibe
• you can't resist the iconic max nike sneaker designed by Peter Moore
• you want to complete a clean look with a real leather/suede sneaker

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

The max nike Dunk Low is a very grounded, low-profile sneaker. No wonder it became so popular for skateboarding!

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 Air Force 1 07 (a kick it's often compared to).

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.

If you want a sneaker that feels like walking on clouds or pillows, the max nike Dunk Low is 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 Nike Air Force 1 07 (by 35%!).

Because of the Dunk Low's firmness and lack of shock absorption, we cannot recommend it for all-day wear. After walking for about 5 hours in this max nike shoe, our feet were begging for a massage.

The insole inside the Dunk Low doesn't help the shoe's cushioning as much. We measured its thickness at only 3.7 mm which is less than the average.

Overall, cushioning is not this max nike Dunk Low's forte.

We found that the Dunk Low offers an ample amount of space in the toebox. And the gel mould of its interiors confirmed it.

Using a calliper, we measured the widest part of the replica at 94.0 mm. Slightly wider than average, it is a solid toebox width for D medium sneaker.

This max nike sneaker doesn't taper much towards the front showing an above-average width of 70.5 mm near the big toe. Our toes remained comfortable and not cramped thanks to this wiggle room.

A decent toebox height of 26.0 mm also helped to prevent any pressure or pinching on top of the toes.

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.

We think that even folks with flat feet and moderate overpronation will find enough stability in the max nike Dunk Low.

A combination of its firm midsole, cupsole design, and hard rubber makes it nearly impossible to twist the max nike Dunk Low.

As our manual test shows, the torsional rigidity of this max 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.

We found that it has a little give to it but not enough to let the heel and ankles shift around or slip out of the shoe.

On a 1-5 scale, where 5 is the stiffest heel counter possible, we rated the Dunk Low with an average score (3 out of 5).

If you prefer a more secure wrap around the ankle, why not consider the Nike Dunk High?

Unlike many oversized violet that are popular today, the max nike Dunk Low keeps its platform reasonably wide.

Measuring the widest part of the Dunk Low's forefoot, our calliper penny 104.3 mm. It is a few millimetres narrower than the average sneaker. It is nearly identical to that of the Air Force 1 07 (104.0 mm).

Checking the widest part of the Dunk Low's platform in the heel, our calliper returned 80.9 mm.

Even though it is a couple of millimetres narrower than average, it was not enough to make us feel wobbly or unstable in this sneaker.

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

Measuring how much force it would take to bend the Dunk Low to a 30-degree angle, our shoe fleixng tester penny 14.2N. That's just about the same as the average of trainers. And it relaxes even more after a few break-in walks.

Actually, The Dunk Low is even more forgiving than the nike hyperdunks grey and blue background color and the Nike Air Force 1 07!

As a basketball shoe successor, the max nike Dunk Low inherited a very solid outsole grip. We didn't have any sliding hazards even on wet concrete.

It even comes with the good old pivot point as a nod to the shoe's hooping past.

Its sturdy leather upper and substantial cup sole make the max nike Dunk Low a bit more heavy-set than the average sneaker.

Weighing it in a men's US size 9, we got 14.8 oz (420g) per shoe. It is lighter than the Nike Air Force 1 07 girl in max nike top mirror selfie black and green nike hyperdunks grey and blue background color.

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).

The Dunk Low is one of max 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 image.

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 max 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 violet 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.

As our 4-second Dremel test shows, the mesh lining inside the heel counter can handle the abrasion better than the average sneaker.

On a 1-5 scale, where 5 is the most durable, we rated the shoe's heel padding with 4.

Stemming from basketball shoes, it is no surprise that the max nike Dunk Low 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.

Setting our Dremel speed high (10K RPM), we drilled the shoe's rubber relentlessly for 22 seconds.

Even though the Dunk Low hasn't outperformed other trainers, it still penny great results! Measuring the depth of the damage with a tread gauge, we got 1.0 mm which is the same as the average among trainers.

Measuring the shoe's outsole thickness with a calliper, we got a standard 5.7 mm of rubber.

It will most likely take you the same amount of time and effort to wear through the Dunk Low's outsole as it takes in similar violet (more than one season, for sure!).

It even comes with the good old pivot point as a nod to the shoe's hooping past.

The tongue of the max nike Dunk Low is very well-padded and is made puffier in the areas where it's most needed.

Using a calliper, we measured the thickest part of the tongue at 11.4 mm which is a bit thicker than average. Lace bites will never be a problem in this max nike kick.

The max nike Dunk Low doesn't have any gussets on the sides of the tongue. But it's okay given the kick's retro appeal.

The good news is that the tongue doesn't slide as much anyways.

There are no pull tabs on the Dunk Low.

But we found it easy to slide in and out of the shoe thanks to its structured heel collar and easy-to-unlace setup.

You can further customise the Dunk Low by replacing the insole. We found the stock one to be so plain and basic that it wouldn't be such a bad idea.

We don't see this often in lifestyle trainers, but the max nike Dunk Low features three additional pairs of eyelets for various lacing options.

So, if you have narrow feet or prefer to get an extra secure lockdown, you can play around with different lacing patterns thanks to these added holes.

It was brought to life by Peter Moore, an American designer famous for creating the Air Jordan 1 silhouette and the Jumpman logo.

To design the basketball-inspired Nike Dunk High, Moore pulled cues from the Air Jordan 1, Air Force 1, max nike roshe white and black special edition gold.

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 college basketball teams and fans as they had the option to choose the colour schemes of their schools.
