Category Performance Ratings
8.0
Traction
Multidirectional herringbone pattern with hard, deep-groove rubber. Excellent grip on clean courts. Holds up outdoors and slightly dust-sensitive until broken in.
7.0
Cushion
Full-length Renew foam with midfoot shank. Cushioned heel but dead-feeling forefoot. Firm, modestly responsive with limited impact protection.
7.3
Materials
Textile mesh upper with light padding. Soft and comfortable. Thin, non-premium materials that still offer reasonable durability for a budget shoe.
7.0
Support
Wide base with midfoot shank. Stable platform and low tipping. Upper and soft foam reduce lateral containment during high-torque moves.
7.5
Fit
Runs slightly long and can be hard to enter. Upper stretches over time, creating more toe room and accommodating various widths.
67%
Outdoor
Hard rubber outsole with deep grooves. Durable and reliable on rough courts. Good value for outdoor play.
small
large
Sizing
Generally true to size for most players. Players seeking a snug fit may drop half a size due to extra length.
narrow
wide
Width
Starts narrow to regular but stretches. Accommodates narrow to wide feet after break-in.

For its price, the Nike Renew Elevate 3 is a solid performer. My only gripe with the shoe is the cushion. The shoe can be played indoors and outdoors without issues.

I liked the Nike Renew Elevate 3, but I wouldn't say it's a top-tier performer. It's a great option if you're looking for a budget shoe.

The Nike Renew Elevate 3 is a shifty shoe that's also fast in a straight line. The lateral containment also isn't the best. This shoe is a solid pickup for low-to-the-ground players, though.

In my opinion the Renew Elevate III is a decent budget shoe.
Traction is good but nothing amazaing and slip a little on dust.
The renew foam is very good for me,
Material i didn´t like so much,
Lockdown and the security is good but not espetecular,
Fit for me is good also.

The multidirectional herringbone traction is really good. I stopped on a dime on cleaner courts, and it even held up on dusty courts.

At first, the traction does not bite hard. After breaking the shoe in, it performs well on a clean court.

The midsole pleasantly surprised me. The full-length Renew foam isn't the bounciest, but the midfoot shank does help provide some snap.

The cushion is nothing amazing but serviceable. The Renew foam is thickest in the heel, and that's where it's felt most.

The materials are easily the worst part of the shoe. The shoe doesn't feel bad, but when you're playing, the upper turns out to be too forgiving.

I was good to go for lateral containment. The materials aren't the best for containing you during aggressive moves, though.

I had issues with containment caused by the materials. The foam isn't too stable, so the shoe isn't the most laterally secure.

The support works well enough but isn't anything special. There's no tipping because of the wide base, but the materials make it hard to contain your foot when you move with high torque.
