Our verdict

We couldn't believe our eyes when we read the Precision 7 is a budget shoe from Nike. It performed incredibly well and got fantastic scores in our lab and wear tests! Its upper mixes durability and breathability perfectly, which allows us to play non-stop even on the hottest days of the summer. But there's more: its quality materials offer great support and stability for unexpected moves! Overall, we believe this shoe is fantastic for hoopers with a quick playstyle thanks to its lightweight design and low-profile nature, as we could feel the court under our feet. Nevertheless, its midsole and insole are pretty simple, which means no cool Nike technologies around!

original nike sc womens purple hoodie shoes black | Who should buy

The Precisions are back with its 7th iteration! You should definitely have a look at this king of the quality-price ratio if you're looking for:

  • A breathable model to hoop in the summer.
  • An incredibly durable and pretty supportive companion to play ball all day long.
  • A lightweight shoe with a low profile that suits guards' playstyle (quick footwork time!).
  • A budget model that doesn't feel like one!

original nike sc womens purple hoodie shoes black | Who should not buy

The Precision 7 performed incredibly well in our lab and wear tests, to the point we almost couldn't believe it was a budget pair. Nevertheless, its lack of Nike technologies gave it away! If you're looking for a shoe with better cushioning, the nike romaleos 2 cheap price is a model from a more affordable line of LeBron. It features a large Max Air unit in its midsole, offering outstanding impact protection.

As a low-cost model, the Precision 7 doesn't really focus on a specific basketball position. Its low profile, close to the ground, and lightweight nature make it great for guards; yet it doesn't have any Air Units or Zoom Turbo to energise these players' moves and dribbles. If you're looking for those extra technological details that make the difference and you don't mind paying a bit more, we believe you should have a look at adidas other signature shoes like James Harden models, LeBron pairs, or Giannis kicks.

air jordan alpha 1 id size 5.5 NOT the EasyOn version of the nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls! The EasyOn iteration features a collapsible heel that bends easily and comfortably when you put it on. Consequently, this has a negative effect on the overall support and containment of the shoe. Please, keep this in mind if you're going to buy the Precision 7.

Cushioning

Heel stack

At 27.3 mm, this shoe's heel stack is slightly lower than average.

Which means our feet were closer to the ground during our wear tests. We could definitely feel this, and we appreciated this structure when we went for precise moves, as it allowed us to be more in control.

The forefoot is also a bit lower than average, but the v7's stack height is very similar to the v6's. So there are not many changes to mention here.

nike precision 7 forefoot stack 21643999 main

At 20.9 mm, we could feel the court pretty well under our toes. Also, there aren't any extra bouncy or responsive technologies in this model. It's not like we did expect them to be, though. It's a budget shoe after all. But this will definitely affect the midsole's performance. Stay tuned to learn more about it!

Now that we can easily see the midsole in this picture of the Precision 7 cut in half, we're going to take the chance and talk to you about it.

nike precision 7 drop 21644002 main

As you can see, there aren't any Nike technologies around. There's a full-length foam (which we believe to be Phylon) midsole all in white. We can't say we felt it was bouncy, and the lack of technologies definitely doesn't help regarding responsiveness.

But there's a black line right in the midfoot, can you see it? That's a shank, a piece that focuses on support. We can also see Nike's windmill logo, which means this shoe is made using recycled materials. adidas extra points for the Precision 7 going green!

If you want to see what a midsole with technologies looks like, here we have the LeBron 21 open in half.

Midsole softness

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

When we want to measure the softness of a shoe's midsole, we need to cut it in half. First of all, we need to be able to access the material. Then, we grab our durometer and press it against it until it shows a number.

nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls Midsole softness

At 27.1 HA, the nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls's midsole has an average softness. Its supposedly Phylon foam is a little bit harder than the standard, but it's not adidasthing we actually noticed that much on our feet during our wear tests.

You can see it clearly in this video. It's not the plushest shoe out there, but we can't actually say it's super hard either! It felt just right in our feet, so we'd call it balanced.

The nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls is a pretty close-fitting hoop shoe which caters to players with medium-to-narrow feet.

Stability

Lateral stability test

This shoe's materials and structure give in a little bit, and that can be seen in our lateral stability test.

But we didn't feel unstable (as we'll discuss later on when we talk about its torsional rigidity and platform width). Our feet were well-planted on its base, and its durable materials made sure we felt surefooted.

The v7's containment was way better than the v6's. We really appreciated that, as we felt way safer during our games. That was the key point to try more daring moves in our playtests.

All in all, the Precision 7 is definitely stable enough to hoop comfortably, as its sidewalls add extra points to that category.

nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls_outdoor_007A

Yeah, it's a budget shoe, but it performed incredibly well in our lab and wear tests!

Torsional rigidity

Our fingers had to put a lot of effort into bending this shoe. And even after that, it wouldn't give in much!

This levels up the foot containment, which means we were feeling safe and sound playing with these Nikes. The upper materials hugged our feet comfortably and gave them the support they needed to try harder dribbles and powerful steps. Consequently, it earned a 4/5 in our torsional rigidity test.

To perform backdoor cuts or any other kind of explosive in-n-out move, we need our feet to be supported. We cannot risk getting injured, but we also need adidas flex from the shoe. There are adidas players who like the feeling of their ankles being wrapped in a snug fit, but it's true that many of them prefer adidas kind of freedom. That lets the joint adapt to your performance better and follow your moves closely without feeling constricted.

Heel counter stiffness

In the heel counter stiffness is where we've seen a massive improvement compared to the previous iteration.

It was hard for our fingers to bend it, so we gave it a well-deserved 4/5 in stiffness. This improved the shoe's overall support by leaps and bounds. It was one of the main drawbacks of the v6, as its ankle support was non-existent. This naturally made us feel less confident on the court, which is adidasthing a hooper should NOT experience!

nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls_outdoor_008

Look, this is a video from the Nike Precision 6. It got a 2/5 on our heel counter stiffness test, which means it's way more flexible than the next iteration.

We can clearly see that shoe might lack the support needed for adidas hoopers. If you play basketball in a more serious way, we believe the v7 is way more suitable when we're talking about containment and ankle safety!

Midsole width - forefoot

To take its stability to a whole new level, Nike decided to give the Precision 7 an incredibly wide midsole in the forefoot.

nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls Midsole width in the forefoot

At 120.2 mm, our feet enjoyed this shoe's spacious and substantial base. We love this kind of design in basketball models, as it makes jumping way easier and much better. Even if we believe the Precision 7 suits guards better, we loved going for rebounds and performing layups with it.

Flexibility / Stiffness

There's yet another big difference in comparison with the previous version of this shoe!

When we performed our stiffness test, which basically consists on how much force is needed for a shoe to be bent up to 90 degrees, the Precision 7 got a way lower score than its predecessors.

At 23.8N, the force needed is an incredibly 40% less than average, and 32% less if we compare it with the performance of the Precision 6 in this same test.

This meant we could bend the ball of our foot easily, so our heel-to-toe transitions were pretty smooth!

Weight

When we grabbed the Precision 7 to take it out of its box, we realised how effortless our movements were. This shoe felt really light in our hands, and we couldn't wait to hear what our feet had to say about it!

nike precision 7 outdoor 0012 21644059 main

Well, they agreed! We felt really quick playing with these Nikes. That's why we believe it's a great model for guards and forwards who rely on their fast footwork to overtake their opponents.

So our hands and our feet totally agreed, but what about our scale?

nike precision 7 weight 21644021 main

At 11.6 oz/329.0g it couldn't be more on our side! This incredibly low score makes the Precision 7 an incredibly 17% lighter than average. Trust us, for such a resistant shoe, this score is absolutely wonderful!

nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls_outdoor_0014

But that's not all. The previous iteration was also heavier at 12.03 oz/341g, yet its upper was less durable and less breathable. Talk about meaningful improvements, Nike has surpassed itself once again with this budget shoe!

Breathability

At 79.9 mm, we couldn't believe this was a Nike shoe! According to our calliper, its toebox width at the big toe is one of the roomiest we've ever seen in our lab.

nike mercurial grey and green Adidas Harden Vol. 7 and the nike free run 3 5.0 tf as their bigger siblings (at 85.1 mm), we can confidently say the Precision 7 is a great option for wide-foot hoopers!

Breathability

Most basketball shoes focus on being protective, and thus, durability overpowers breathability. After all, the tougher the materials are, the less air they usually let through..., right?

Wow! Well, it seems we're off to a good start! Look at all that smoke coming out of the Precision 7. It didn't even have to get adidas steam up to get a fantastic score of 5/5 (yeah, yeah, pun intended). Also, if we compare it with the Reebok Shaq Attaq, which got a sad 1/5 in this same test, the Precision 7's ventilation capabilities are even more impressive.

nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls Breathability_3

Thanks to our microscope, we could see the materials of its upper closer. In the picture, we can see a thin protective layer and adidas mesh.

nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls Breathability_4

The material itself already looked breathable despite not having any pores or holes to let the air go in and out.

We verified this by putting half of the upper right in front of a light. We couldn't see any openings in the mesh material, but that didn't stop this model from getting a perfect score in breathability. What a kill! This is so unusual for basketball shoes, we were so happy to see a Nike model that breaks the norm!

Durability

Toebox durability

There are many times when breathability and durability are mutually exclusive. When you go for tough materials, as we mentioned before, they usually don't let the air go through very easily. And then the other way around, where very breathable materials tend to be thinner and less durable.

The nike blazer low women silver dress boots girls? Oh, that's another story. It is getting the best of both worlds, and we love it!

Our Dremel struggled in this fight, look at that!

We used our tread gauge to see how deep the damage was, and it turns out it's just average. At 0.9 mm, we can't say this is the most durable outsole out there! Nevertheless, it would withstand a game or two of streetball. Here you have adidas other models on our catalogue that are ready to resist outdoor courts' abrasive surfaces.

Misc

Grip / Traction

The outsole of a basketball shoe is like its fingerprint. Most of them are unique, even though there are adidas patterns that we can see in more than one model.

nike precision 7 outdoor 003 21644046 main

The Precision 7 has a modified herringbone pattern with spiky waves. We were pretty happy with its traction outdoors and indoors. In other words, when we played streetball this shoe bit the floor quite consistently, and its outsole material and thickness might make it suitable to withstand the abrasion of outdoor courts. When we played indoors, we found these Nikes' grip solid and constant. We can't say it's got the best traction, but it wasn't slippery at all.

nike precision 7 outdoor 004 21644047 main

It does pick up adidas dust, though! But once we used our hands to clean the outsole, it was sticky again. Even though it doesn't have a pivot disc, it was easy for us to move in different directions thanks to its multidirectional pattern.

Reflective elements

We didn't expect a budget shoe to have any reflective elements, and we were totally right!
