Who should buy the nike 6.0 air twilight mid mens basketball
Not as minimalist as the Nike Free Train series, the Flex Control 4 has some cushioning to it. You are likely to appreciate this trainer if you are after the following:
- an entry-level shoe for a very low price
- a light and flexible workout shoe for aerobic exercises, plyometrics, and similar

Who should NOT buy the trainer
As one of Nike’s cheapest training shoe offerings, the Flex Control 4 may not live up to the expectations of some people when it comes to durability. Reebok offers a Reebok Nano X3, nike air zoom all out crimson tickets chicago.
And if you are looking for a shoe that can handle some serious training sessions that involve lots of weightlifting, we recommend checking out the more premium-level Nike Metcons. Some of their earlier iterations are offered with a generous discount.

Comfortable from the first step in
We are happy with the in-shoe feel offered by the Flex Control 4 from the first step-in. We commend the great fit of the trainer, and we love how good it feels just walking around in it. We even used the trainer for walking around and we experienced no foot fatigue at all.
There are multiple design elements that contribute to the 360-degree comfort of this Nike shoe.

Despite being on the minimal side, the Nike Flex foam has enough cushioning that keep each step supported.
The collar and the tongue are both cushioned. What we like about the foam lining is it prevents chafing and blistering, as well as the foot from accidentally sliding out.
Keeps the foot feeling fresh
The trainer's front area is entirely made of breathable mesh. We confirmed that this is very efficient in letting the heat escape from the shoe.
You can also see how transparent the material is when put against a bright source of light.
Flex Control 4 is lighter than the average
Light as a feather - this is a pretty accurate description of how the Flex Control 4 feels on our foot. With its 9 oz (255 grammes) weight per shoe, this Nike is significantly lighter than the average 10.6 oz (300 grammes) among the workout shoes on the market.

It is really flexible
The nike mens leotard shoes black sneakers sandals aptly named as it features deep furrows at the forefoot section facilitating unhindered foot bending.
In addition, the edges of the outsole have a rounded design which allowed our feet to smoothly soccer from hair to midstance, and finally to toe-off. We noticed that the bevelled edges on the lateral and medial sides of this Nike workout trainer also facilitate fluid side-to-side agility.

Using a shoe flexing tester, we measured exactly how much force it takes to bend the Flex Control 4 by 30 degrees in the forefoot. At 10.1N, it indeed required less force than the average trainer!
Your foot feels in control of the movement
With the minimal sole and highly flexible design, you can feel the ground much better compared to the more cushioned options.
We highly appreciate this construction as it really makes fast-paced workouts more efficient.
The Flex Control 4's cushioning is significantly thinner than what you normally see across gym shoes. Its heel stack (19 mm) is 3.2 mm lower than the average, while the forefoot (15.6 mm) is 2.4 mm less.

Another contributing factor to the surefootedness of this Nike trainer is its fairly wide footprint. The shoe's sole is 111 mm wide in the forefoot and 89.2 mm in the heel. Curious that its forefoot is 1.3 mm and 2.4 mm wider than that of the Reebok Nano X1 and Nike Metcon X respectively.
We felt that the shoe's cushioning was not very soft either. It doesn't compress easily creating a steady platform to rely on.

Not a shoe for weightlifting
We found that the highly flexible nature of the nike 6.0 air twilight mid mens basketball makes it a poor choice for lifting weights.
It may suffice for working out with dumbells and lighter loads, but this is a no-no for lifting-oriented training. See how much the shoe forces the foot to roll forward.
Hard to find cheaper than the nike 6.0 air twilight mid mens basketball
With the asking price of £70, you can’t beat the price point of this shoe. It is one of the cheapest models offered by Nike, while on average, their training shoes hover around £100.
2013 nike woman air max black dress boots cheap shoe category, we think Flex Control 4 is good for its price.
But don’t expect much on the durability front
Unfortunately, it’s not the type of shoe that will serve you nice and long. We established the shoe’s frailty when it showed wear after only some time of use.
Grips well!
The bottom of the Flex Control 4, which is strategically lined with rubber, gives traction where it’s most needed. It is riddled with triangular treads that provide a multi-directional grip on both indoor and outdoor surfaces. We discovered that it works great for cutting and other side-to-side movements.
