Nike Air Max Impact 3 Review

Pros:
Traction for the price is great
Stability and support are solid
Cons:
Materials feel cheap
Not the best impact protection

Performance of the Nike Air Max Impact 3:

The Nike Air Max Impact 3 provides great traction at a budget price, and reviewers agree that it bites hard on all surfaces. The cushioning is firm, but the Air Max unit feels more stable than similar setups in Nike's lineup. Like other budget shoes, the materials aren't the best quality, but they don't hinder performance. For support and lockdown, the shoe provides solid lateral stability and containment. The firm cushioning helps to keep your foot secure. Overall, the Nike Air Max Impact 3 is a decent offering at an affordable price point.

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 mesh used is cheap-feeling. However, it does get the job done for performance.

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.
