Nike Men’s Court Borough Mid Dark Green Winter Shoes

Men's Nike Court Borough Mid Winter Shoe sets you up to take on the elements. It's crafted with a waterproof upper to help keep you dry, an internal bootie to help lock in heat and a rugged outsole to combat the season's wet conditions.

• Water-repellent finish on the upper helps keep you dry
• Internal neoprene bootie provides additional warmth and comfort
• Drop-in Lunarlon cushioning system provides lightweight cushioning
• Thick boot laces offer durability and easy grip
• Rugged rubber outsole provides durable traction in cold-weather conditions

Lunarlon: this cushioning technology  features a soft and elastic foam core, which is encased within a supportive foam carrier for excellent lightweight cushioning, and great responsiveness and support. It is 30% lighter than a traditional Phylon midsole, what helps to distribute the force of impact more evenly, and to reduce the painful pressure points on feet.

Synthetic Leather: this material does not stretch out, and is more sturdy, durable and lighter than natural leather.  Cleaning: soak a cloth in a cold water and gently clean the surface after wearing until the mud has sunk in. Let the surface dry itself. Use professional shoe shiners to restore the colour of the synthetic leather. Do not soak it in water, wash in a washing machine, nor dry in a dryer.

Cupsole: it is designed like a cup: with high sided 'walls' and a hollow centre. A cupsole enables EVA foam, or other cushioning insoles, to be placed inside and glued onto the cupsole. The upper is also placed inside of a cupsole, and then both are stitched together, what provides extra strength and durability. The line of stitching around the cupsole is visible. The cupsole is mostly designed as a skateboarding footwear, however the skateboarders found a vulcanised sole to be their favourite, where the upper and the sole are attatched with glue and foxing tape. This means that a vulcanised sole has little midsole cushioning, and the shoe provides more touch and feedback to a skateboarder. Nowadays many casual street shoes are designed with a cupsole.

Heel / tongue pull tab: it can be stitched onto the shoe's upper, at the top of the heel and/ or tongue, in a range of configurations. Some can be more elaborate, featuring text and icons stitched into the material. As many shoes tend to be made from lightweight fabrics, instead of leather or suede, it is far easier to put on a lightweight shoe using a heel pull tab, without getting your hand dirty by touching the inner lining that absorbed the sweat of your foot.

Heel counter: it is placed onto the rear of a shoe's upper and is usually stitched and glued onto the base material of the upper. Most of the modern footwear is manufactured with a lightweight and breathable mesh upper, which provides less stability than leather shoes. The purpose of the heel counter is to provide stability and protection. The foot will feel more stable in every step, and it will also be more protected from getting injured by moving to various directions.

Inner lining: generally two types of fabric are used for inner lining - textile (natural) and synthetic fabrics. Textile fabrics that are mostly used in sports footwear manufacturing are cotton and viscose. They are the most comfortable and breathable. These fabrics are also absorbent, soft, durable, and can be washed by hand. Synthetic fabrics, mostly used for lining are polyester, acrylic and elastane, however they hardly absorb any moisture, and are not as breathable as natural lining fabrics.
