Nike responds to the need for warm feet during the cold days by launching the P-6000 ‘Premium Black’: a ‘winterised’ version of the popular summer model. But what makes this version so special, and is it really suitable for winter?
First impressions of the Nike P-6000 'Premium Black'
As soon as I unpacked the sneaker, the characteristics and robust silhouette, typical of the original model, immediately stood out. However, this winter edition P-6000 brings a completely new look with its dark colorway and reflective accents, making it a shoe that truly fits the aesthetic of winter's darker days.
Is the P-6000 'Premium Black' model truly winterproof?
This sneaker also ticks the boxes in terms of functionality and comfort. The winterised P-6000 features a denser mesh and an extra inner layer, making it significantly warmer than the standard P-6000. These adjustments make the sneaker ideal for colder days, whether you're strolling through the city or spending extended periods outside. Your feet will stay pleasantly warm, which is certainly a big plus during the winter months.
However, there is one drawback: the shoe is not waterproof. The thick material offers some protection against light precipitation, but the P-6000 ‘Premium Black’ is unfortunately not suitable for heavy rainfall or snow.
Innovative design
What truly sets this sneaker apart is its ease of use. Thanks to the slip-on design, you can effortlessly put the shoe on, while the lock laces ensure a perfect fit without the hassle of tying laces. One quick pull on the laces, and you're good to go – super convenient!
The P-6000 ‘Premium Black’ also makes a big impression when it comes to comfort. The sole feels as though you're walking on clouds, while the sturdy materials keep your feet warm without making the shoe feel heavy.
The final review
With its combination of warmth, style, and ease of use, the Nike P-6000 ‘Premium Black’ is an ideal choice for anyone seeking a stylish winter sneaker with comfort as a top priority. The only downside is the lack of waterproofing. If that’s not a dealbreaker for you, then this sneaker makes an excellent winter shoe at a great price.
