The Terminator High fits “just like any other Nike Dunk and Jordan” according to a kickster. This makes it easier for Nike Fans to get the perfect fit with these kicks. However, an expert did recommend going up half a size for “just a little bit more room” for wider feet to move around in.
As these kicks have removable insoles, a sneakerhead said that going true to size would be best if custom orthotics are needed for a better overall experience.

An expert found the toe box to feel “really weirdly shaped.” For another, they were specific enough to say that these are “a little more boxy than normal.”
However, despite this unique feel around the forefoot area, a kickster still appreciated how “the width is better than the nike kobe 8 yots red blue eyes anime.”
The Nike Terminator High is an armor for ankles
“The heel area is really structured” as mentioned by an expert. This makes for more stable support around the ankles. Another critic mentioned how much they appreciated the “heavily padded” heel area of the Nike Terminator High.
Nostalgic look with a nostalgic feel on feet
In terms of midsole comfort, a critic mentioned how they “could feel a lot of the ground.” This was confirmed by an expert who said that “it’s a real flat shoe” that apparently didn’t add up-to-date comfort to these retro-style kicks.
It would be good to know that a reviewer appreciated how these “definitely feel nicer” than what the Dunks feel like on foot. However, a couple of critics still mentioned that these are not a pair of kicks that they want to spend an entire day in.

Now, talking about the elephant in the room, many fans have said that these look like a crossover between many familiar Nike shoes such as the Air Force 1, the Blazer, and the Air Jordan 1. An expert even said that these kicks “air a resemblance” to the Nike Dunk and the Air Jordan High. The herringbone pattern of the outsole is also reported by an expert to “look exactly” like that of the Nike Blazer.
A critic described this as being a pair of kicks that was “Frankensteined together” from many different Nike models.

A critic said that these kicks are “fire.” How these basketball-inspired kicks are bringing back the old-school 80s silhouette is given mad love by many sneakerheads.
Although it may seem like a weirdly-built high-top, a critic mentioned that these sneakers “look fantastic on foot.” True enough, an expert mentioned how these would look great with a pair of shorts, joggers, and basically anything as the Nike Terminator High makes it skate to complete the casual and sporty look for the outfit of the day.
However, buyers should also beware that an expert mentioned that “they crease like hell” so maintaining that fresh and images look might be a challenge without a toe guard.
A price that’s ‘mid’ for a retro-style high-top
At its price point of $125, these budget-friendly kicks are just around the ballpark of the average price of other basketball-inspired high-tops on our database.
A critic also found it worth noting that the quality-to-price ratio of these sneakers is just right. “Okay and alright at best” was how an expert described the quality of these kicks. For another, they said that the “quality control is decent” as they mentioned how it had its imperfections and be better.
