8.0
Materials
Mesh upper with basic padding. Lightweight but cheap-feeling. Padding is modest and not premium.
8.5
Support
Lateral cage with molded heel support and internal lockdown. Provides good lateral stability and ankle support.
8.0
Fit
True to size with a snug initial fit that loosens after brief play. Forefoot slightly narrow and rubber wings can press.
100%
Outdoor
Hard rubber compound suggests decent outdoor durability. Reviewers did not extensively test outdoors so real-world results are unverified.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to size for most players. Consider a half size up for extra toe room or wider feet.
narrow
wide
Width
Slightly narrow forefoot. Best for narrow to regular widths. Wide footers may feel constricted.

Overall, I would recommend the Nike Air Max Impact 3 for anybody in the market for a budget sneaker. The only downside is that the impact protection could be better.

The Nike Air Max Impact 3 is just okay for the price. It's personally not my favourite, but I'd say go for it if you are a fan of Air Max units and strong traction.

The traction and durability make this a good option for an outdoor shoe. The Air Max unit in the heel provides good impact protection, but the front of the shoe is very stiff. They are good for wide footers. The biggest issue is the ankle collar. They really dig in and feel uncomfortable. They fixed this issue in the 4th model.

Traction is really good on clean courts, on dust you have to wipe often.You have to break it in and it is very durable. Support is decent and cushion is average, nothing make me said wow. The materials are good. Very good for outdoor because of his durable traction pattern.

Shoe would be better if the part in the heel and the side of the heel was a little softer the material used made my feet hurt alot in the heel part but overall shoe is great for everything.

The traction pattern used is herringbone, and it performs just as you'd expect. You might have to wipe occasionally, but the traction bites really well.

It's a low-budget sneaker, so the padding isn't the greatest. However, it still feels comfortable.

The shoe actually has pretty good support. The lateral cage does a good job of keeping your foot on the footbed.

The shoe fits well for the most part, but the rubber wings on the sides of the shoe can potentially cause pressure.
