Who should buy
Having tested the limits and capacities of the Nike Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone, we consider it an excellent option for the following:
- Кросівки nike air max tailwind
- Nike air raid mens shoes white-gum light brown dj5974-100
- Nike Killshot OG Sail Red
Who should NOT buy
Having tested the previous version of the Cosmic Unity, we believe that the v3 is a bit of a letdown when it comes to cushioning and weight. If you want a softer and more responsive Zoom Air cushioning, go with the v2. We also found that it is a whopping 2.3 oz (65g) lighter!
Nike blazer multi swoosh Nike KD 15. It is 1.7 oz (48g) lighter, has plusher and bouncier cushioning, and is just as great for outdoor courts.
Breathability
When we first saw all those layers of mesh and knit embracing the upper of the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone, we instantly thought "Uh-oh, here comes a toaster." And yet, our smoke machine test proved that this Nike shoe found a way to ventilate the interiors.
Based on the amount of smoke passing through the upper, we assessed its breathability with a rating of 3 out of 5.
It is clear from the transparency test below which parts of the upper are responsible for the airflow.

Durability
Toebox durability
The wear resistance of this Nike shoe is INSANE!
In addition to its mesmerizing looks, the embroidered upper of the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone is also impressively strong. It survived our 12-second Dremel test with very minor damage and deserved the highest rating of 5/5. No wonder it is advertised for outdoor use!
Seeing what the same test did to the cheaper nike air raid university red ($115), Keeping things simple with a bit of nostalgia is Nike's latest launch.
Of course, we couldn't help but explore the shoe's upper under our microscope in an attempt to reveal its secret durability formula.
We can see how multiple layers of woven fabric create several layers of defense on the Nike Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone. This shoe is ready for some serious wear and tear.

Back in the heel, the collar padding also showed excellent results in our Dremel test. Pressing the tool against the material for 4 seconds, we saw smaller damage compared to basketball shoes on average.
In this part of the upper, we rated the Cosmic Unity as 3 out of 5.

Average | 3.5 |
Кросівки nike air max tailwind | Outsole hardness
The shoe's unmatched durability includes the outsole as well.
Measuring the hardness of its rubber with a durometer, we found it to be 86.5 HC. This is harder than 81% of our lab-tested basketball shoes. And in our experience, it takes much longer to wear through hard rubbers.
This fact in combination with our playtests allows us to wholeheartedly recommend the Nike Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone for outdoor use.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 86.5 HC |
Average | 81.8 HC |
Outsole photon
We also use a caliper to check how thick the outsole is. At 3.5 mm, it is not among the thickest we've seen.
But we wouldn't be so concerned about that because the nature of the treads on the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone looks very reassuring. Wide and deep, these lugs are not easy to wear off.
Based on all of our ci3831 in the durability department, we can claim this Nike shoe to be one of the best for outdoor use.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 3.5 mm |
Average | 4.0 mm |
Weight
Apparently, being a durable shoe has its price.
The Nike Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone gained some serious weight compared to its predecessor. It now tips the scales at 15.7 oz (444g) whereas the average of our lab-tested hoop shoes is 13.7 oz (387g).
It feels very substantial underfoot but it seems to be the trade-off for the unmatched wear resistance and overall support.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 15.66 oz (444g) |
Average | 14.18 oz (402g) |
Cushioning
Heel stack
The shoe's cushioning comprises a drop-in midsole that sits on top of an embedded midsole. We measured the combined stack height of these two.
In the heel, our caliper shows 27.9 mm of stack, which is slightly thinner than average but still in the medium range.
Less cushioning typically translates to a better ground feel and we can confirm that the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone feels more grounded.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 27.9 mm |
Average | 30.1 mm |
Forefoot stack
In the forefoot, we measured the stack height at 20.7 mm. It is also considered average for a basketball shoe. It is neither too thin to hurt the ball of the foot not extra cushioned.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 20.7 mm |
Average | 21.7 mm |
Drop
Nike Dunk High Premium SB Acapulco Gold Grain Black-Sandtrap-Bright Mandarin 313171-207.
This slight elevation of the heel above the toes is right at the average of hoop shoes. We believe that it will suit most players.
Bigger guys and gals, on the other hand, may benefit from a higher drop as it gives more impact protection in the heel. Some shoes like that include the Comme Des Garçons X Nike Air Max 97 Glacier Grey (10.4 mm).
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 7.2 mm |
Average | 8.4 mm |
Midsole softness
Nike Max270 React Ci3899-101.
The cushioning of the Nike Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone is a far-far cry from the brand's claim of "cloud-like cushioning." We repeated the durometer measurement several times to make sure we are not biased and yet every time the tool confirmed our experience - this shoe is firm. At 33.3 HA, the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone is about 20% firmer than average.
Because of that, the shoe feels dense (and even thin) and definitely lacks impact protection for our moderate body weight. Unfortunately, it is a downgrade from the second iteration which was 32% softer and felt amply cushioned despite the lower stack height.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 33.3 HA |
Average | 26.2 HA |
Insole photon
Because the shoe comes with a drop-in midsole, there is no insole in the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone per se.
Air Max 96 Negro Supremo.
We are not exactly sure why Nike went with this midsole design. But at least it gives us an opportunity to replace its underwhelming cushioning with something more fun and protective. Not to mention that it gives way to using custom orthotics.

Stability
Nike Pantalon Junior Liverpool FC Dri Fit Academy Pro 22 23
Luckily, the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone comes back strong when it comes to support and stability. This shoe made us feel contained like no other!
The first salute goes out to supportive materials on the upper. All those sturdy woven layers of Flymesh and Flyknit blend together to lock the foot in place. We experienced zero in-shoe movement.
Just look how little stretch (if any) there is in the upper!
Torsional rigidity
Our next shoutout goes to the plastic shank embedded into the midsole. It extends up on both sides, firmly bracing the arch. We haven't seen expanded shanks like that in quite some time.
This design is responsible for the shoe's increased torsional rigidity. Twisting it is not that easy! On a scale from 1 to 5, where 5 is the stiffest, we rated it as 4.

Кросівки nike air max tailwind | Heel counter stiffness
The shoe's heel cup was another pleasant surprise. First of all, it is notably stiffer than most basketball shoes. Giving it a good squeeze, we rated its stiffness as 4 out of 5.
Secondly, the shoe's rear foot is designed in such a way that our heels ended up sitting quite deeply in it. Heel slippage is simply non-existent here.

Average | 3.5 |
Midsole width in the forefoot
Finally, we cannot leave the shoe's wide base without attention.
Measuring the widest part of the forefoot with a caliper, we found it to be 115.3 mm. This is a little wider than average.
Having a wide landing area, we felt extra confident making sharp direction changes.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 115.3 mm |
Average | 113.9 mm |

The Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone also features a wide heel area. We measured its widest part at 91 mm. A solid average for a hoop shoe.

Average | 91.6 mm |
Flexibility
Stiffness
Being such a sturdy shoe, the Nike Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone loses a bit on the flexibility front.
It doesn't bend very easily on the foot and as our lab test shows, it's not very bendy per se. It took 44N of force to get the shoe to a 90-degree angle, according to our gauge reading. This makes the shoe 5% stiffer than the average. Not critical but noticeable.
We anticipate that the shoe will get more flexible with use but the break-in period is going to take a while.
We felt less maneuverable in the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone but in return, we got smoother heel-to-toe transitions and enhanced stability.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 44.0N |
Average | 40.8N |
Grip / Traction
The grip is fabulous on the Nike Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone. We mostly tested the shoe on a rubberized outdoor court and felt very surefooted. But we can readily recommend it for hardwood and concrete surfaces too.
We had to wipe the dust off much less frequently compared to other basketball shoes.
Size and fit
Toebox width at the widest part
We measured the widest part of the shoe's toebox at 105.4 mm. This is a few millimeters wider than average and is a pretty good sign for wide footers.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 105.4 mm |
Average | 100.9 mm |
Toebox width at the big toe
Towards the toes, the toebox goes from being above-average width to simply average. We measured the width at the big toe at 76.7 mm.
In our opinion, the Nike Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone will accommodate most foot shapes perfectly. Except perhaps the really wide feet. We recommend these players to go a half size or even a full size up because the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone is not available in wide.

NIKE AIR JORDAN XXX UNVEILING ON JANUARY 14TH
Surprisingly for its higher-end price point, the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone doesn't have a gusseted tongue.
However, this was never an issue for us as the tongue stayed in place and wrapped around our insteps comfortably.
The tongue is pretty wide and is made of a neoprene-ish material, which apparently makes up a success formula for this Nike shoe.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | None |
Comfort
Tongue padding
The shoe's tongue is much thinner than average. At 4.9 mm, it is nearly twice thinner. And yet, it feels fairly well-padded.
We think that more padding in the tongue would be unnecessary as the shoe's upper offers plenty of support and in-shoe comfort as is.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | 4.9 mm |
Average | 9.2 mm |
Heel tab
Because the edge of the shoe's collar is made of a pliable Flyknit material, having a finger loop to assist with putting it on is pretty handy.
Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone | Finger loop |
Removable insole
Remember that taking the insole out of the Nike Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone equates to removing the shoe's cushioning entirely. So you would need to find a thick replacement of at least 12 mm in the heel.

Sustainable materials
As a final bonus, the Nike cuffed cargo joggers in light stone is claimed to be partially made of responsibly sourced materials. These include recycled post-manufactured and post-consumer waste like yarns, textiles, and plastics.
