My thoughts on NOBULL Shoe Versions (Shoes and Fabric Choices are many)
he Tall Take
If you’re looking at NOBULL, you’re already in a good spot—these are legit training shoes (good enough that even Under Armour had to step things up).
But before you buy, you need to understand:
- The model (what you’re using them for)
- The fabric (how they actually wear)
Step 1: Pick Your Shoe
Outwork (Strength Training)
- Built for lifting
- Stable, flat base
- Best for: heavy training, gym sessions
Your go-to if you’re doing serious strength work.
Drive 2 (Running / Cross-Training)
- Most cushioning of the three
- More flexible
- Best for: running, higher movement workouts
This is the most “athletic” feeling option—but also where fabric choice matters most.
All Day (Everyday + Light Training)
This one is more versatile than people think.
- Solid base
- Noticeable cushion (just less than Drive 2)
- Works for: walking, casual wear, even light running
Think of it as:
👉 A hybrid shoe — not just lifestyle, not fully performance
If you want one pair that can do a bit of everything, this is a sneaky good option.
Step 2: Choose the Right Fabric
Ripstop (Best Overall — Easy Choice)
This is the one.
- Durable
- Structured
- Clean across all colors
- No extra thought required
I’ve got multiple pairs—no misses.
👉 If you don’t want to overthink it: buy Ripstop
Mesh (Know What You’re Getting)
- Extremely breathable
- But the entire upper is see-through
You will:
- See your socks
- Have to think about matching
- Notice it every time
Also—question mark on long-term durability.
Knit (Skip for Training)
- Soft, flexible
- Slip-on feel
But:
- Feels weak
- Lacks structure
- Not something I trust for workouts
Mine don’t leave the closet.
Bonus: Liquid Ceramic (Outwork Only)
- Protective outer coating over the shoe
- Adds durability
- Slightly more “armored” feel
Kinda cool—and makes the most sense on Outwork where you’re putting the shoe through the most.
Bottom Line
- Outwork + Ripstop → Best for lifting
- Drive 2 + Ripstop → Best for running/training
- All Day + Ripstop → Best all-around option (walking + light running + daily wear)
Everything else?
👉 You’re adding decisions you probably don’t want.
Final Recommendation
If you’re buying your first pair from NOBULL:
Pick your model based on use—but stick with Ripstop and you’ll avoid 90% of the issues.
