Our verdict

This incredibly stylish skating pal is ready to help you conquer the board and the streets! The SB Force 58's wonderful traction helped us feel safe and supported, just like its padded interiors and snug structure. Its durable materials superpose each other to help the areas that are especially vulnerable when you skate, but the whole structure is still really flexible, bending alongside our feet movements easily. The best part is that all this comes in a lightweight and fashionable design that inevitably reminded us of the Nike Aero Tailwind Cap Mens. But way cheaper!

Who should NOT buy

If what you need is a cushioned shoe to be on your feet for hours, there are definitely better pairs than the SB Force 58. You know, these Nikes don't have a midsole after all! You could have a look at Nike Air VaporMax 2019 Utility, or maybe just give in to the old reliable Pegasus collection, Nike Football Survêtements.

Cushioning

Heel stack

This shoe's 17.6 mm heel stack let us feel the ground under our feet fairly well. And not only the ground, also the skate!

Buty męskie Nike Air VaporMax 2021 Flyknit Biel Heel stack_1

Clearly, this structure doesn't focus on impact protection, as the SB Force 58 doesn't have a midsole. It's minimalistic and thin, reducing the weight and helping us control your board even better.

And things get even closer to the ground at the forefoot! The 10.6 mm our calliper returned when we measured this area gave it away instantly.

Once again, this is very typical for the shoes designed with skate in mind. Even though Nike's official webpage states the SB Force 58 has a look "infused with heritage basketball DNA", this pair couldn't be any further from actual hoopers.

Nike Slip Dri-Fit Essential Micro 3 Unidades | Drop

There's not a big difference between the heel and the forefoot stacks, so the drop of this shoe is not very high. After all, both areas are pretty close to the ground, so there couldn't be much of a difference.

Buty męskie Nike Air VaporMax 2021 Flyknit Biel Drop_1

At 7.0 mm, it's a bit lower than average, but that doesn't mean our feet were not used to it. It feels flat, and that's something we're already familiar with! You can ask our Vans or the Killshot 2 and the Court Vision Low (which look like siblings, by the way!).

Buty męskie Nike Air VaporMax 2021 Flyknit Biel_outdoor_09

All in all, this is something we've seen and felt countless times in skating trainers. And don't worry, unless you only use extra plushy shoes, your feet will definitely find this familiar too!

As expected, it's also lower than average. If the brand went for a super plushy insole, we wouldn't feel the ground under our feet that much! Still, if you want some extra support, you can always change it.

Despite being simple and thin, we didn't find it uncomfortable, as the Buty męskie Nike Air VaporMax 2021 Flyknit Biel has inner padding in the right areas. A little bit of a break-in period is needed, though. Its materials are tough after all!

Stability

Lateral stability test

In order to skate properly, this shoe needs a minimum level of stability!

All the inner padding we mentioned before paid off, giving some support to our ankles. These Nikes fit true to size, and their structure hugged our feet comfortably.

We really appreciated that, as it's very important for us to feel safe every time we grab the board and go have some fun!

Torsional rigidity

Despite its protective side-wall rubber and overlayers, the SB Force 58 bent alongside our fingers in the lab and our feet in the streets easily.

As you can see, it didn't take us much to make it dance! This translates into great flexibility overall, which not only makes skate moves easier, but also helped us walk comfortably.

The sides of the SB Force 58's heel collar bent naturally when we pressed them with our fingers. Nevertheless, the Achilles area was a little bit less agreeable.

All the padding helped our feet stay in place, and even though this shoe doesn't feature a TPU heel counter (neither internal nor external) we didn't experience any heel slippage.

Midsole width - forefoot

To measure this shoe's midsole width in the forefoot, we put it upside down and grabbed our calliper again.

It marked 102.4 mm, which is way lower than average. And even though we usually say that wider midsoles equal more stable landings, we didn't feel out of balance or anything like that during our wear tests.

Weight

In our wear tests, we try casual shoes walking around town, going out with friends, running errands... just going on with our daily lives. And the SB Force 58 felt incredibly lightweight on foot!

When we took it to our lab, our scale marked 11.7 oz/332.0g, which is way less than average. As it's a whole 15% lighter than other trainers, we didn't get tired any time soon! We could enjoy this shoe for hours, and we found its feathery yet resistant structure amazing for skating.

Breathability

After performing loads and loads of breathability tests, we didn't trust the SB Force 58's toebox holes until we verified they were not a trap in our lab. If you're wondering why, you can ask the Nike Dunk Low, for example!

So we started with our light test, and wow, we couldn't see it shine through anything! Nope, not even those suspicious toebox holes...

But our Plus test showed us the other side of the coin! This is why it's crucial to make more than one breathability test. Even though some uppers might not have big gaps or ventilation holes, their materials might as well be breathable. In this case, even though we can't compare the Nike pair's performance with the Adidas Astir and its perfect 5/5 on our breathability test, we gotta say it did fairly well! Just look at all the Plus surprisingly coming out of the toebox!

Despite looking clogged, the toebox holes did their job pretty well! Even though this might not be the best shoe to wear on the hottest days, we enjoyed walking around town with it even in the summer.

We've decided to give it an average 3/5 on our breathability test. A well-deserved grade!

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

In order to check the quality of the suede and leather materials, we need to grab our butane torch and scratching awl.

The Swoosh was our first victim, and wow! It just burnt away! Consequently, this material is definitely synthetic.

On the other hand, the suede is authentic! It resisted the flames like a champ, which is wonderful news if we take into account how cheap these trainers are.

Toebox durability

Alright, Dremel time! We attacked the SB Force 58's toebox during 12 seconds at 5K RPM and with 3.2N of force.

We saw green dust fly away, which made us think the tool would just mercilessly open a hole in this shoe's upper. Nevertheless, when we put it aside, our fears were gone!

nike sb force 58 toebox durability 2 21897533 main

The material showed great durability, and it got just a little bit messed up, but nothing that would negatively affect the shoe's integrity! That's why we have decided to give it a solid 4/5 on our toebox durability test.

This comparison illustrates how wonderful a 4/5 on this test looks like. On the left, we have the SB Force 58; and on the right, the poor they have a large selection of Nike s. The latter could only get a 1/5 on our toebox durability test, as that white thing you see in the hole is just a piece of material we put there to show that it was completely obliterated!

After the great score of the toebox on our durability test, we wanted the SB Force 58 to keep up the good work! So we moved the Dremel all the way back to the heel and got the party started.

Honestly, it didn't look bad at all! We put the tool aside and checked the final results with high expectations.

Outsole hardness

When our durometer returned 90.0 HC, we concluded we were definitely reviewing a toughie.

Even though we'll talk about this later on, this score promises great durability. But we'll have to ask our Dremel about that!

Just to clarify: as the outsole is harder than average, this shoe does not feel soft at all! But that doesn't mean that it's uncomfortable either.

Outsole durability

Alright, the moment of truth has arrived! It was easy to ask our Dremel about the SB Force 58's durability, as all we had to do was turn it on and start drilling.

During the 22 seconds of the test, we saw a white rubber storm in the lab. The material flew away but our Dremel didn't stop, rolling at 10K RPM and with 3.2N of force.

Outsole thickness

Once we cut the shoe in half, we have access to its hidden parts, pieces, and materials. In this case, we could use our calliper to check the exact thickness of the SB Force 58's outsole.

nike sb force 58 outsole thickness 1 21897540 main

The 5.5 mm it returned showed us that the brand decided not to go for a thicker or thinner than average outsole. We believe the reason is pretty simple: the material is durable enough, so this Nike doesn't need a big piece of rubber to protect its bottom side. Otherwise, it would add unnecessary weight or reduce the wonderful ground feel this pair provides (which skaters love, by the way!).

Misc

Grip / Traction

The Buty męskie Nike Air VaporMax 2021 Flyknit Biel provided us with wonderful traction!

Buty męskie Nike Air VaporMax 2021 Flyknit Biel_outdoor_03

Overall, this shoe needs a little bit of a break-in period. But after a couple of wears, it gave its best version to us!

Buty męskie Nike Air VaporMax 2021 Flyknit Biel_outdoor_04

On the board, it was simply majestic. We enjoyed how well it bit it, which helped us gain some extra confidence! And honestly, it was pretty much the same on urban surfaces, as its grip didn't lose points at all.

Also, its outsole is hard and durable, which means it can withstand the abrasion of this sport (as well as of urban surfaces) with no problems.

Reflective elements

This Nike pair doesn't have any reflective elements, and even though it's shown us wonderful performance levels, we can't forget it's a budget shoe!

Tongue padding

With the 16.6 mm of padding this shoe's tongue has, we might as well change it and put a real pillow over our instep!
