Nike Renew Elevate 3 Review
Pros:
Strong traction
Durable enough for indoor and outdoor play
Cons:
Materials can cause issues
Fits slightly long
Performance of the Nike Renew Elevate 3:
The Nike Renew Elevate 3 starts strong with the performance of the traction. The traction is easily the best part of the shoe as it grips hard on most courts.
Reviewers agree that the cushion is decent in the heel of the shoe, but the forefoot is thin.
The critics also agree that the support has no glaring weaknesses.
The materials feel nice but can stretch, causing performance to vary.
Overall, the Nike Renew Elevate 3 is a strong pick for players looking for traction on a budget.

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.

The Nike Renew Elevate 3 will not disappoint you for the price. You can use it as a go-to budget-friendly outdoor hoop shoe.

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.
