nike care sb plums high water level chart for women | nike care Dunk Low review

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

• you appreciate basketball-inspired retro sneakers with the '80s vibe
• you can't resist the iconic nike care 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 nike care 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.

For an all-leather sneaker, we were surprised to feel the airflow inside the nike care Dunk Low!

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 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 melting.

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 nike care 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 kicks 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 nike care 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 sneakers, it still showed 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 sneakers.

Measuring the shoe's outsole thickness with a caliper, 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 kicks (more than one season, for sure!).

Its sturdy leather upper and substantial cup sole make the nike care 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 care lebron 10 volt on feet on sale today show but a little heavier than the nike care air max black zebra.

The nike care 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 nike care presto medium flower vase designs for girls 07 (a kick it's often compared to).

The Dunk Low also feels very close to the ground in the forefoot. Based on our caliper 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 sneakers. Normally, the heel is a bit more elevated in casual sneakers which gives added support to the heels and the Achilles.

If you want a sneaker that feels like walking on clouds or pillows, the nike care 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 care lebron 10 volt on feet on sale today show (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 nike care 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 nike care Dunk Low's forte.

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 light. 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 nike care Dunk Low.

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

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

The Dunk Low has a moderately stiff heel counter.

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 care air max worn in space jam 2017?

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

Measuring the widest part of the Dunk Low's forefoot, our caliper showed 104.3 mm. It is a few millimeters narrower than the average sneaker. It is nearly identical to that of the nike care presto medium flower vase designs for girls 07 (104.0 mm).

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

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

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

Measuring how much force it would take to bend the Dunk Low to a 90-degree angle, our gauge showed 22.2N. That's just about the same as the average of sneakers. And it relaxes even more after a few break-in walks.

Actually, The Dunk Low is even more forgiving than the nike care air max black zebra and the nike care lebron 10 volt on feet on sale today show!

As a basketball shoe successor, the nike care 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.

We've got zero complaints about the nike care Dunk Low's sizing.

Getting the kick in our regular US men's size 9, it fits exactly as expected - true to size. In addition, we measured the internal length of the shoe at 268.9 mm which corresponds to the US 9 size in Nike's shoe size chart.

Using a caliper, we measured the widest part of its forefoot at 100.2 mm. It is the normal, expected toebox width for an average sneaker.

We were also happy to find that the shoe's toebox doesn't taper much towards the front.

With a caliper measurement of 77.4 mm near the big toe, the shoe offers just enough toe space to feel comfortable and not cramped.

The nike care 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.

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

Using a caliper, 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 nike care kick.

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

We don't see this often in lifestyle sneakers, but the nike care 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.

You can further customize 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.

There are no reflective elements on the original Dunk Low model.

The nike care Dunk first came out as a high-top sneaker back in 1985.

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

The Dunk quickly caught fire on the market partially due to its upper paneling which allows for numerous color-blocking options. This made the sneaker very appealing to college basketball teams and fans as they had the option to choose the color schemes of their schools.
