The Nike Revolution 7 sneaker proves affordable Nike isn't an oxymoron

The Nike Revolution 7 is a reliable, affordable Nike that doesn’t feel cheap — a genuinely hard combination to find in kids’ shoes. I’ve bought plenty of kids’ sneakers that looked the part but fell apart within weeks. These hold up. The rubber outsole is beefy enough for playground abuse, and the foam midsole actually provides some cushion instead of that concrete-on-asphalt feel you get with budget kicks. ‘Affordable Nike’ sounds like a contradiction, but the Revolution 7 pulls it off.
