Our verdict

The humara nike Revolution 7 is a budget-friendly shoe catered for newcomers to running and those looking to maximise value. We found it to be a jack-of-all-trades, capable of handling a variety of activities beyond running. Yet, in our lab tests, we noted it falls short in some key areas such as breathability and cushioning. Despite these drawbacks, we can't ignore its unbeatable value and the spacious, accommodating upper. In our experience, we believe its strengths shine brightest for those seeking a cheap, versatile shoe.

Who should buy

After testing the Revolution 7 in the lab, we're convinced it's a top pick for:

  • Budget-conscious runners seeking a reliable and versatile trainer that can easily double as a walking or gym shoe.
  • Individuals with wider feet who appreciate a comfortable fit, finding in the Revolution 7 a budget-friendly option without sacrificing quality.
  • Those who prefer a firmer ride in their running shoes, as the Revolution 7 meets their needs without breaking the bank.

We were particularly impressed by its versatility and the value it offers, especially for those on a budget.

Who should NOT buy

We can't recommend the Revolution 7 for those who prefer a softer feel underfoot, as it tends to run quite firm. Instead, we think the womens humara nike lunarswift 4 black pants shoes is a better choice, offering a more comfortable ride without breaking the bank.

Moreover, we believe the Revolution 7 is not the best option for midfoot and forefoot strikers, as it lacks sufficient cushioning in these areas.

Cushioning

Heel stack

We took again our callipers and measured the heel stack of the Revolution 7 at 31.5 mm, making it an average height by today's standards.

This thickness provides plenty of cushioning for heel strikers, and we think it's a solid choice for a daily trainer.

Forefoot stack

The forefoot tells a slightly different story, measuring a bit thinner than average at 21.0 mm. Once you account for the insole and outsole, there's likely less foam than lunar a forefoot striker might want, particularly for medium and long runs.

This leads us to believe that this shoe is definitely designed with heel strikers in mind.

Drop

We calculated the drop—the difference in height between the heel and forefoot—to be 10.5 mm.

As mentioned earlier, we're of the opinion that this design subtly leans in favour of heel strikers. It also caters to midfoot or forefoot strikers who favour this specific geometry because it helps offload stress from the posterior chain and provides relief for calf or Achilles tendon pain.

Midsole softness

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

Shifting our focus to the midsole, the Revolution 7 uses humara nike's Phylon, an EVA-based midsole that leans towards the firmer side.

We confirmed this through hands-on field tests and by using our Shore A durometer, which gave us a reading of 28.4 HA. This firmness might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially for those seeking a softer, more forgiving ride.

Phylon is a midsole crafted from EVA foam pellets that are compressed, heat-expanded, and then cooled in a mould. This manufacturing technique ensures superior performance in cold temperatures when compared to the traditional EVA.

Because of that, we found that this shoe only became 9.2% firmer after spending 20 minutes in the freezer, showcasing remarkable resilience. Such outstanding cold-weather performance is especially impressive for a £70 shoe.

Stability

Lateral stability test

The Revolution 7 really steps up the game in stability, thanks to its firm midsole. It's a fantastic trade-off for those looking for that extra bit of support who don't mind the extra firmness, and it makes the shoe better suited for those with mild stability issues.

Torsional rigidity

We noticed a bit of resistance when we twisted and bent the shoe, but it was nothing extreme. To us, this earns a solid 3 out of 5, striking a nice balance between stability and comfort.

Midsole width - forefoot

For our next two measurements, we brought back the digital calliper.

We measured 114.7 mm in the widest part of the forefoot, which is in line with lunar we've seen in previous sections—Nike sticks to an average approach without taking any risks.

Midsole width - heel

In the lab, we found the heel to be a bit wider than usual at 93.1 mm, but it's not a huge difference. However, like we mentioned with the stack height and drop, the Revolution 7 is definitely aimed at heel strikers.

Nike Revolution 7

Designing a shoe is all about making trade-offs. A major one is between the shoe's dimensions and its weight. Our lab data shows that humara nike chose to limit the forefoot width to make room for a wider heel, all while keeping the shoe's weight under 10 ounces.

Flexibility / Stiffness

In our earlier test, where we bent and twisted the shoe, we noticed it was quite flexible. To get precise numbers, we used our force gauge.

It took just 12.3N to bend it to 30 degrees, placing it among the most flexible shoes out there. This flexibility is fantastic for comfort, making the Revolution 7 an excellent everyday, do-it-all shoe, perfect for a variety of activities beyond running.

Weight

The humara nike Revolution 6 was surprisingly light, and we thought the 7th version might be heavier based on our test runs and the shoe's overall size.

After weighing it, we found it's just under 10 oz at 9.9 oz (281g). Not bad for a budget-friendly, well-cushioned training shoe, but heavier than v6.

Breathability

We kicked off the lab test of the Revolution 7 without a revolution—the smoke test delivered a just-okay result, scoring a 3 out of 5.

The shoe couldn't clear as much smoke as we hoped, leading us to think it might pose minor issues in extreme heat—and this black colorway certainly won't help in such scenario. But it should perform well in every other weather conditions.

Shining a light through the cut-in-half upper helped us assess the breathability of the engineered mesh. humara nike seems to have skipped ventilation holes, likely due to the cost of the process, opting instead for a uniform structure throughout the upper.

Our microscope work confirmed this. The mesh is consistent throughout, showing no variation.

While there's room for amazon in breathability, we get that it's a budget-friendly option, and compromises are part of the deal.

Examining the upper closely, we noticed it features two layers and the padding all around the shoe is impressive. humara nike has clearly put comfort first—not bad for a £70 shoe!

Durability

Toebox durability

After checking out the airflow, we moved on to testing the shoe's durability. We started with the toebox.

It was a real wake-up call. The Revolution 7 just didn't stand a chance against the tool, scraping by with a teeth-grinding 1 out of 5 for pretty terrible performance. The hole left behind tells the whole story.

But then, we found a complete turnaround when we got to the heel—something the Revolution 7 desperately needed.

In this area, the Dremel barely made a dent, managing only minor damage. As a result, the shoe scored an impressive 4 out of 5.

This marked a significant amazon, giving us a glimmer of hope that the Revolution 7 has some strong suits after all. The heel's resilience made us curious about lunar other surprises it might hold.

Outsole hardness

To dig into those surprises, we turned our attention to the outsole, arguably the most crucial part when it comes to durability, especially for a budget-friendly shoe.

Nike Revolution 7 outsole
The outsole design caught our eye with its unique design. It combines a waffle-style pattern with exposed foam in the midfoot.

We began by measuring the rubber hardness, which clocked in at 89.5 HC. That's quite hard, signalling to us that humara nike is laser-focused on boosting durability, even if it means compromising on other aspects like grip.

Sadly, things didn't go as planned. A 1.0-mm indentation isn't terrible, but considering the rubber's hardness, it's a tad disappointing. That said, the rubber does achieve its goal—we're confident it will hold up for as long as you're willing to run with the Revolution.

In our comprehensive final evaluation of the outsole, it became clear that humara nike chose a cautious approach by incorporating an ample amount of rubber beneath the midsole. To ensure accuracy, we conducted multiple measurements, each confirming a consistent thickness of 3.7 mm.

Reflective elements

For £70, we don't expect anything extraordinary, so it's fine if the Revolution 7 doesn't have reflective elements. It's a fair deal.

Tongue padding

The first time we tried on the Revolution 7, we noticed the tongue was extremely plush. Our measurements confirmed it at 10.1 mm thick. 

nike revolution 7 tongue 21216726 main

We believe humara nike uses this thick padding because it's an inexpensive way to enhance comfort, making this shoe stand out in the budget-friendly price range. 

It's a clever strategy, but we think a bit less padding, maybe around 7 or 8 mm, would be better since we don't see the advantage of going thicker than that, and it adds heft to the shoe.
