I popped my 2001 retro 3 Jordan's just a few weeks ago, it felt horrible on my feet. My heel began to sink to the ground and the show quickly destroyed itself further.
miyako kenji he actually hasn't, there's much more to adidas than boost bounce and cloudfoam. There is adipreme and a few others that I don't know the name of like the ones used in the Hu Stans, and the kamanda or whatever it's name is. There isn't much detail to them though lol

I've worn the Lunarlons for almost 3 years every single day even for work, and those things do not give out. Still the most comferable shoes ive ever worn
@@googleprofiel6814 Yup. Just bought Chucks II for $15 yesterday from OfferUp and put the Lunarlon into my Jordan 13 Low Chutney which didn't have any insoles. They're pretty great so far.
More so feel great. The thin outsole on infinity react series wears out pretty quick but ive bought so many colorways because its incredible cushioning and response
He’s in an insane asylums. Couple years back he got caught walking round naked with Nike free run shoes. What we see in the video is nothing more than a simulation.
I run cross country and started with Frees, but with distance running (70-85 miles per week), I use Pegasus 35s on mileage days and ZoomFlys on speed days. The flexibility couldn’t provide support. I also got made fun of for using level 2 shoes.
I really loved my Nike RN Trainers from years and years ago. It's super minimal so it gives you a lightweight shoe and most ideal splay and stride of foot. I wish I could buy those again :(
9:02 I kind of like the fact that they dont look asteticaly pleasing after a few runs, but still work like a beast, because it means that they've focused on the performance of the shoe and not how it wiull end up looking after a few miles.
Great overview! There was a great ESPN article some months ago regarding air technology and its origins as basically just a marketing ploy. Once I got serious about running, I couldn’t use air tech, super unstable that led to two ankle sprains. Love the Nike Free RN for short runs and just tried the epic react. Will do same with Vapor.
Thanks for all the info! I’ve never really understood the differences between all the “technologies”. I love to run- don’t mind if the soles wear smooth quickly as long as they still feel good and support my foot. Great info!
Just bought the pair of free run 2. great for jumping rope, Just jumping rope and walking and I've tried Vans, basketball shoes and Nike zoom. but free run 2 gives me the most amazing experience
I've no idea how much time you put into this video but it must've been a good few hours. I can see the effort this took. I very much enjoyed this video. I love it when you do stuff like this. Great video 👍
i have about 50 pairs of air max. Ones, Zeroes, 90s, 95s, 97s, 2008-2017s, Flynit Maxes, Tailwinds, 180s, 270s, all Vapormaxes, and i am probably forgetting other iterations. I have only popped 2. Flyknit Max Bright Crimson and Polarized Blue (i almost cried, look up the colorway) and Vapormax Platinum. Very durable shoes.
I remember the Free 5.0 in 2004... came w a caution slip that they were not recommended for performance running! Wonder what they did to change that thru the years
great video! i i wear zoom technology now but when a lunarglide model came out it was extremely comfortable probably my favorite! it was black with a cool green sole!
I've been wearing Nikes my whole life and I've come to prefer Free 3s over my other running shoes. I've always been a fan of running barefoot since I was a kid though so it's no surprise I guess
Nike made the mistake of putting air max technology into a tennis shoe once (I'm talking about actual tennis shoes btw, like shoes meant to play tennis). I blew both air pockets on my air max cages in about a week.
I've been buying Nike for 18 years from the Air-max, shock and recently tried the zoom tech, a set would last me 3-5 years depending. Since my accident, I have a lower back problem and I must say that the zoom is one of the most comfortable shoes that I'd ever bought and owned by Nike, the cushioning makes me forgot that I'm even wearing shoes, I'm also a bit picky when buying new shoes, if it doesn't appeal to my liking, I'd wait for months until one comes along that does. But the zoom is one of the best choices that I've currently have made.
I blew out the air max bubble on a pair of Nike Air MAX 2 Strong mids in high school (not a retro) Still one of my most favorite shoes I've ever had back in the day
In 1994 I had a pair of Nike Air Maxes, the ones at 1:54, that got a thorn in them and went flat when I out running and was miles from home. It altered my stride so badly that I got a hip flexor pull that didn't heal for at least a week. Several months later the exact same thing happened with a pair of Nike Air Skylons. So I missed several weeks of training due to Air units breaking. A year or two later I had a problem with a Brooks Hydroflow forefoot unit breaking five miles from home and I got a stress fracture out of it. From those experiences I learned to evaluate shoes for their potential of breaking mid-run and leaving me stranded.
I'm maybe a little to late, but I do agree with you. I haven't tried the react yet but I prefer the lunarlon to the free and helped me actually get my school's best mile time for a whole year straight
I’ve had a pair of Nike odyssey react 2 for 11 months and they actual cushion feeel isn’t as noticeable as when I first wore them but that might be me getting used to them but they are still extremely comfortable and have held up
Oh and the best running shoe I've ever had is still the air max torch 4 which should be on the list. The air soles in the heel and forefoot are crazy responsive for traditional air soles. I highly recommend anyone to try them out for running
Nike lunar elite 9 or whatever that I got was such a nice shoe. And while I wore them to the ground, they still were bouncy and held some suppleness to them when I would wear them time to time as BS shoes for yard work. But they are a consistent material/shoe
The video I've been waiting for so long. Hopefully you could make a video of other Nike less famous and prominent soles too and explain the weakness, why people hate it and why Nike stop producing it. Great Video man.
This was amazing bro! I’m not a sneaker head but my job as a FedEx driver has me looking for the best shoes for the job and you opened my eyes to the world of shoes and the technology behind them... I might be a sneaker head now lol

They simply don't have passion in cushioning technology.
Nike Free - to feel pain in your hips and feet after a run
Nike Airzoom - to actually run
Um... airzoom is for basketball not real running. Runners use zoomx nowadays
no the nike air zoom pegasus is a very popular nike running shoe that uses air zoom
I loved my nike free cuz they were so soft and comfortable but now I just can’t find the model I had
lemonwaffles i think it’s multipurpose
There's something wrong with how you run.
I popped a Air max Unit once... It felt x10 Better and felt similar to zoom, But better
I popped my 2001 retro 3 Jordan's just a few weeks ago, it felt horrible on my feet. My heel began to sink to the ground and the show quickly destroyed itself further.
Don’t u hear that annoying hissing noise every step you take?
NOOT NOOT Master the worst noise. Popped a pair of air trainers once. Uncomfortable, annoying hiss everytime I stepped and just worse
NOOT NOOT Master i just wear headphones
Su Whoop lies
I've got wide feet with high arch and I'm in love with free run technology
Im the opposite 😅
do adidas vesion please

Boost or not boost. That’s it

Not much variety there...

@@googleprofiel6814 Yup. Just bought Chucks II for $15 yesterday from OfferUp and put the Lunarlon into my Jordan 13 Low Chutney which didn't have any insoles. They're pretty great so far.
I feel like the React is performing much better in terms of durability than expected. After 150 miles my outsole still looks great.
look great or feel great? I would imagine they look beat up?

The react 55’s are so far the best I’ve had, the looks and the cushioning is amazing.
ZOOMX crease city.
high key zoomx is just a cushioned spike dont @ me
A light blow with a heat gun will fix them.
I belive ZOOMX is a long distance running shoe.
@@breckr1121 it is
@Brendan Forde
For me, react is definitely my favorite
I follow a lot of sneaker youtubers but your channel by far is the most informative about sneaker tech and history behind shoes. Keep it up sir!
Nike frees are amazing rn distance are one of the most comfortable nikes I've owned
I run cross country and started with Frees, but with distance running (70-85 miles per week), I use Pegasus 35s on mileage days and ZoomFlys on speed days. The flexibility couldn’t provide support. I also got made fun of for using level 2 shoes.
Can't wait for the Nike soon Pegasus turbo! With zoom x!
Save the date: 7/19
The footlocker release calender had this shoe listed for aug 2 i went to cop today and wasted my fukin time
Zoom when implemented properly is still the best cushioning setup out there in my opinion
I agree zoom is number 1 yet whatever was in nike ultra flyknit af1 was really good as well
in the first 3 seconds of the intro he showed more shoes I'll ever wear in my life
I really loved my Nike RN Trainers from years and years ago. It's super minimal so it gives you a lightweight shoe and most ideal splay and stride of foot. I wish I could buy those again :(
Once I saw the beginning of the video & saw how many sneakers you have. I knew you were the real deal I had to subscribe
You should try the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo with ZoomX when it releases, the outsole looks more durable.
that has to be the most extreme name for a shoe
I have the shoes and they are my favourite shoe to run in as they are light, responsive and have a plush feel which I like. Plus they look dope
@@archaicvenom It sounds like a Street Fighter title.
9:02 I kind of like the fact that they dont look asteticaly pleasing after a few runs, but still work like a beast, because it means that they've focused on the performance of the shoe and not how it wiull end up looking after a few miles.
You forgot to mention that free can get stuff caught in it like gravel(even when walking) and sand probably(haven’t ran on sand in free)
Great overview! There was a great ESPN article some months ago regarding air technology and its origins as basically just a marketing ploy.
Once I got serious about running, I couldn’t use air tech, super unstable that led to two ankle sprains.
Love the Nike Free RN for short runs and just tried the epic react. Will do same with Vapor.
It wasn’t a marketing ploy making the air visible was
Zoom air is the best to me, when done right that is.
I was helping move a big patient and BAM! Bubble popped. XD
Free is not a cushioning tech. It's a shoe tech that uses phylon but the flexibility makes it natural on your running stride.
Does zoom air bottom out, does last forever?
HDsharp you probably won’t have to worry about bottoming out the biggest concern is accidentally stepping on a nail or something
My KD with the Zooms leaked when the tiny tube connecting the two sections broke.
Not really anything new to me but I do love tech breakdowns and more in depth looks at this weird sneaker culture we’re in. Good vid dude!
Thanks for all the info! I’ve never really understood the differences between all the “technologies”. I love to run- don’t mind if the soles wear smooth quickly as long as they still feel good and support my foot. Great info!

I have a lunarlon 3 flyknit and its nice
What if your wife made a performance review channel and you did the casual wear? Power couple!
Aubrey Graham What I’ve been suggesting for a while. If she had time (and wasn’t pregnant), still a great idea.
I’ve never blown out an air bubble but I popped one with a tac once and it was actually one of the coolest things ever hearing all the air come out
My KD9’s got worn down now I can feel everything
Just bought the pair of free run 2. great for jumping rope, Just jumping rope and walking and I've tried Vans, basketball shoes and Nike zoom. but free run 2 gives me the most amazing experience
nike air: air inside
nike zoom air: air with strings
nike free: barefoot kinda
nike lunerlaun: 2 foam
nike react: holey foam
nike zoomx: carbon plate
nike joyride: balls
nike shox: what is shox?
Free runs one of my favorite all time show tech, not for basketball but jogging and working all day on your feet, they are so comfortable
My zoom all out popped so I guess that counts
I've no idea how much time you put into this video but it must've been a good few hours. I can see the effort this took. I very much enjoyed this video. I love it when you do stuff like this. Great video 👍
Nike coming out with the air max deluxe retro for you
i have about 50 pairs of air max. Ones, Zeroes, 90s, 95s, 97s, 2008-2017s, Flynit Maxes, Tailwinds, 180s, 270s, all Vapormaxes, and i am probably forgetting other iterations. I have only popped 2.

they didnt frees are terrible for running
great video! i i wear zoom technology now but when a lunarglide model came out it was extremely comfortable probably my favorite! it was black with a cool green sole!
My zoom fly had some problems once i started running in it:
Loss of grip(fast)
Users may find it slightly stiff.
Just a heads up
I've been wearing Nikes my whole life and I've come to prefer Free 3s over my other running shoes. I've always been a fan of running barefoot since I was a kid though so it's no surprise I guess
Air max always my favorite 💪
Hes' videos are the best. Really informative and not just focused on hype and trends!
Wait hold up, what Nike frees were those with the cross over patterns?
Plasmamuffins nike free inneva woven?
nike free woven inneva
I have Nike free flyknit 3.0s. They are comfy af and I feel grounded so I can move in any direction.
Hey, I loved my SHOX, bro.
Shox in the back, zoom air in the front, that's my jam.
keep up the great videos!
Hey man an update would be freaking awesome! Thanks for the great video!
In my opinion, lunarlon is the best out of all of them. The most comfortable and work the best as well
Absolutely! My Lunarswift 2 are still my best of the best!
They said air max isn't that comfortable but now I have air max 270 reacts and they are really comfortable
I can’t even clean my
pair of shoes
Nike composite is the latest tech i got. It's cushioning is great, especially for joggers
Cushlon? They’re still using it.
Michael Chan cushlon is amazing
Michael Chan I think it’s used for the Kyrie 4s
Michael Chan yes
David Brondial vapormax utility too.
Cushlon is better than lunor imo, it has a slight bounce than the mushiness of lunae
I pray everyday they bring back the Nike Free Run 3's and even some of the 4's. Legit one of my favorite shoes to date

That's how I feel about my ultraboosts. Just ordered a pair of peg 38s with full length react and a zoom section at the forefoot. Can't wait.
You said the Flyknit Lunar Chukka was your go-to for comfort before Boost. I still think the Lunar in that is the most comfortable shoe available!
510kid9 Yeah my two favorites are the Lunar and the Boost
Nah bro vapormax plus
Then you haven't tried Zoom air. Lunar bottoms out after a while..
I blew out the air max bubble on a pair of Nike Air MAX 2 Strong mids in high school (not a retro) Still one of my most favorite shoes I've ever had back in the day
Yeah the Nike free is just a gimmick with a bunch of exaggerated optimal motion flex grooves..trash in my opinion
Time to throw the Nike Joyride in there too
I'm just devouring your videos!! Great quality and really interesting 👍👍
thanks!
The Nike frees are my personal favorite
Really enjoyed this in-depth look into Nike’s technology, keep it up!
You forgot the Cushlon.
Thanks i was trying to figure out what where the difference between all nikes video was alot of help

Am I the only one that prefers lunarlon to react for running?
Jonathan Norton which react shoes are you talking about because the epic react are far superior to any lunarlon shoe
I agree
yes :-D
I'm maybe a little to late, but I do agree with you. I haven't tried the react yet but I prefer the lunarlon to the free and helped me actually get my school's best mile time for a whole year straight
I prefer zoom air over react. Way too unstable when i run.
This video is actually very informative.(Thanks man)
The question is, are the react and zoom x durability issues just aesthetic or do they also affect performance?
I’ve had a pair of Nike odyssey react 2 for 11 months and they actual cushion feeel isn’t as noticeable as when I first wore them but that might be me getting used to them but they are still extremely comfortable and have held up
I thought I knew al ot about their shoe technology... Just started there and this guys video is super informative! Good vid!

Nike Free RN are comfy. AirMax270 feel unstable and like you're falling backwards.
Great comparison review. Thanks!
