Best Shoe Cushion? Adidas Boost vs Bounce vs CloudFoam Comparison!
• Best Shoe Cushion? Adi...
WHAT I-S MAX AIR TECHNOLOGY?
Shoes with Max Air technology feature less midsole material and larger-volume airbags for lighter weight and maximum cushioning you can see.
First Shoe w Nike Air? 1979 Air Tailwind - First visible unit was Air Max 1, First Basketball shoe was the Air Force 1.
Pros - can absorb impact, nostalga, walking on air never gets old.
Cons - not the most comfortable cushioning or shock absorbing product on the market.
WHAT IS NIKE ZOOM?
Tensile Air it was called.
Nike Zoom cushioning is part of the Nike Air family. Like its siblings, Nike Zoom is lightweight and durable.
After impact, the tightly stretched fibers inside the pressurized air unit quickly bounce back into shape, providing a super responsive feel and improved awareness of the surface you’re playing on.
First Shoe with Nike Zoom? Nike Air Go LWP shoe in 1995
Pros - made for quick cuts, for high impact you do get responiveness (vid of 2 humans w yoga balls running at each other lol). Thin, and light
Cons - you can blow out the Zoom Unit, literally (image of blown zoom)
ZOOM AIR
What is Nike FREE
help-en-us.nike.com/app/answe...
www.complex.com/sneakers/2013/...
The idea behind Nike Free is simple: Improve your athletic performance by allowing your body to perform naturally. Nike Free shoes offer the proven benefits of barefoot training.
Allowed freedom, your toes will flex and grip, exercising muscles in a natural chain neglected in traditional footwear.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NIKE FREE 3.0, 4.0 AND 5.0
In the Nike Free continuum, the lower the number in a shoe’s name, the closer it is to barefoot running. On the continuum, 10.0 represents conventional footwear while zero represents the bare foot
First shoe with Nike Free? Nike Free 5.0 v1 in 2004
Pros - very flexible as expected. firmer cushioning for those that like bare feet feel. Light.
Cons - usually means upper is very snug to maximize flex of sole, might be too tight for some. runners should break in the shoe before running long distance to avoind shin splints
What is Nike Lunarlon
it was the fusion of lightweight Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) with the bouncy ball-like spring of Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
Lunarlon cushioning features a soft, yet resilient, foam core that is encased within a supportive foam carrier for lightweight, ultra-plush cushioning, springy response and support.
The innovative Lunarlon foam, invented by Nike, is 30 percent lighter than traditional Phylon and allows the force of impact to be more evenly distributed, which helps reduce painful pressure points on feet.

First sneaker with Nike Lunarlon? 2008 Lunar Racer
Pros - tried and true. was innovative for its time. Comfy, Lunar Chukka flyknit was my Boost before there was Boost!
Cons - dated technology however still functional people say it bottoms out.
What is Nike React
news.nike.com/news/nike-react...
Nike React foam was developed in-house and the unique composition gives runners foam that is lighter, softer, more responsive and even more durable than Nike Lunar foam. Historically, these four elements have been solved for individually and it was difficult to deliver them in one package. However, Nike React technology delivers them in one.
With no carrier foam, glue etc, you stand directly on the foam, its exaggerated in size for a reason, to absorb more.
First shoe with Nike React? Hyperdunk 2017 & Jordan Superfly 2017 (both encased react) Epic React Flyknit 1st raw form shoe in 2018.
Pros? Lots of Cushion. Very soft, responsive. very light
Cons? Durability might be an issue or looks of visible wear.
Nike ZOOM X
news.nike.com/news/nike-zoom-...
Nike ZoomX cushioning-a newly designed, ultra-light foam-delivers our greatest energy return yet. Inside the foam, a carbon fiber plate springs up under your heel as you stride forward, giving you a propulsive feel.
The Nike VaporFly 4% has been stripped down to its most essential parts, so it’s light and fast as hell-and perfect for road races up to and including the marathon.
Durable rubber on heel protects against abrasions
Weight: 6.5 ounces (men's size 10/women's size 11.5)
Offset: 10mm
First Nike ZoomX Shoe? Nike Zm VaporFly 4% in 2017
Pros - Comfy, like best ever. Feels like you are rocking forward and is very responsive. Super Mega Light!!
Cons - Durability of foam. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

This guy has more shoes than i have money
Ye
if you do the research, hes kicks has over 750 pairs of shoes, and incomes exceed 1000 a month.
Get a job
Exactly
@@gokami every time I look on the comments I see u that is crazy I guess we watch the same vids😂😂😂😂😂
I work at Foot Locker and videos like these really help me know what to say when a customer asks what’s the difference between two different pairs, or even just during a standard sales pitch. Thanks, Hes! Keep it up!
Jimbo Jackson literally employees at shoe stores are so out of touch with basic info and information about releases and tech info and sizing and everything honestly lol. Not all but most.
Brian Gliboff that is wet I want to work in high school
Hey just bought my superstars from your store in Singapore
Brian jerkoff
Damn you'd think foot locker would help out its own team and teach em about their own products. I feel you bro
Free is good
Until you step in a bunch of small rocks that gets stuck under your shoes
wroom k or mud
It really be like that sometimes
I get what u mean but I have renew rivals
I have the nmds and rocks get stuck in those all the time
Yess...When stone or rocks stuck under your shoes it's really uncomfort, but overall I like Free tech, very comfort and soft
Yooo I got a pair of Nike Free 0.0 when I was born!
I got a pair of cotez's, not kidding tho.
Ok lol resell value?
Were you born at a Nike store
@@Nathan-cr8ck guess u didnt get the joke
@@samvanbeelen5065 aight lemme check stockx
Meanwhile in my village we don’t wear shoes
ęnderx no worries he got enough shoes for your village and mine
What a noob 😏 in my village we don’t wear clothes
Noah Cider that would make things easier😏🤤
Shoes wear us
@@noahsnyder6123 You're the noob, we don't even exist in our village.
I work in Nike store and I found this video very informative 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
BahamasDaNewTV I’m going to the store today or tomorrow
Haha minimum wage
@@Adam-sw4iw haha no wage.
Wow
Do you get a discount
even those salesperson at the nike boutique here in malaysia can't even explain whats the difference of all the cushioning they had..this is totally awesome.great job!
LMAOMAOA
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.
do adidas vesion please
miyako kenji He already did a bounce vs cloudfoam vs boost video. Here: th-cam.com/video/CaeGKBNPk7E/w-d-xo.html
Boost or not boost. That’s it
Mark Owen i agree man
Not much variety there...
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 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!
I've got wide feet with high arch and I'm in love with free run technology
Im the opposite 😅
I especially love these informative comparison vids. Great content as always!
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!
keep up the great videos!
Great comparison review. Thanks!
Really enjoyed this in-depth look into Nike’s technology, keep it up!
Are all of your clothes shoes? Cuz i didn’t see one shirt in that closet lol
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.
@@anthony._l7155 LMAO
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
Super good video !
It really feels like you have put a lot if work into it
I thought I knew al ot about their shoe technology... Just started there and this guys video is super informative! Good vid!
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
I had lunarlon tr3+ trail shoes and I wore them from 2011 - 2017
The Converse Chuck II with lunarlon insole are awesome, to bad they're discontinued...
@@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.
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
like the comparision! Thank you so much! The peg 35 turbo is coming up soon with the Zoom X mid sole, can't wait to buy them.
Hey man an update would be freaking awesome! Thanks for the great video!
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?
It's Durable AF & Bouncy
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
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
Great video and explanation!
Love these types of information vids
For me, react is definitely my favorite
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
Excellent video, very informative
I really appreciate all your vids man, great reviews!!
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 :(
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
@@mxc10 It sounds like a Street Fighter title.
Thanks for this clarity
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!
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!
The react 55’s are so far the best I’ve had, the looks and the cushioning is amazing.
This video is actually very informative.(Thanks man)
Great overview of all the new Nike tech!
Nike coming out with the air max deluxe retro for you
My KD with the Zooms leaked when the tiny tube connecting the two sections broke.
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
Thanks mate for your knowledge!
Variety of sneakers and apparel are shown,reviewed on this channel. By far my favorite. ANOTHER ONE! GO HES GO BRO!!!!
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
I'm just devouring your videos!! Great quality and really interesting 👍👍
thanks!
Really thanks a lot for all these informations, they're so helpful. Thank you again
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.
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 video man. Thanks for hard work
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 👍
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
My zoom all out popped so I guess that counts
Thanks i was trying to figure out what where the difference between all nikes video was alot of help
Hes' videos are the best. Really informative and not just focused on hype and trends!
My KD9’s got worn down now I can feel everything
Time stamps:
Nike Air 0:34
Nike Zoom 1:59
Nike Free 2:56
Nike Lunarlon 4:36
Nike React 5:53
Nike Zoom X 7:19
Thank you. appreciate if you drop a like but you don’t have to
Great comparisons.
Thanks very informative
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.
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.
Fantastic video 👌🏽
Great work !
in the first 3 seconds of the intro he showed more shoes I'll ever wear in my life
0:23 get ready bois, we about to rob This fool
Lmfao imma go Find this house 😂
Yeethub Yeethub I’ll get the get away van
“Rob a nigga shoes rob a nigga lace”
-Tay-k
@@Qball__ we gon be ready ear them good noodles errrday in jail for robbing this man
Very interesting, good video!
Love ur content!
I was helping move a big patient and BAM! Bubble popped. XD
Zoom air is the best to me, when done right that is.
Such brilliant and thorough review!
thanks!
Amazing video, thank you
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
they didnt frees are terrible for running
I have Airmax 270s and the bubble on the left shoe leaked air without me popping it.
so interesting video thanks!
Great video 👍🏻
can u do top 5 versatile sneakers?
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
Really cool, thanks for the video!
thanks for watching!
Very informative. Thanks
Air max always my favorite 💪
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
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.
Then make Adidas famous outsole and the failed Adidas outsole like springblade.
Wow! What a presentation!
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.
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?
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
Love your video 🙂 Very informative. Do you know which sole the Nike M2K tekno SE have? I have tried searching the internet but can't really find anything about it. I really appreciate if you could answer the question. Thank you 🙂
For those who love mushy, marshmallowy type of cushioning, the best imo is the nike pegasus 35 turbo, it has a combination of nike zoom x and react foam that is super mushy. Second to it for the most mushy shoes would be the ultraboost then third is nike react shoes.
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
nice review
Thanks for explaining
You forgot the Cushlon.
I can’t even clean my
pair of shoes
Awesome video. Hopefully you do similar videos on Adidas, under armour and puma. Thanks again.
Solid video man
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..
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!
Nice video i love kicks and they tech.
thanks! Ill work on some more like this!
Hes Kicks nice
Hes, thanks for another great video! Where did you get those khaki colored pants w the elastic cuffs? The pants are shown from 7:34 - 7:49.
