For the past two seasons, the Nike Hyperdunk has been an industry shifting basketball shoe. Worn by a high majority of the NBA, it can certainly be credited with ushering in a new era of technical design rooted in a lighter weight performance package.
This year, for the first time, the Hyperdunk series introduces full-length 360 degree Air Max to the mix, as the Air Max Hyperdunk 2010 is now available in a wide array of both team and energy colorways. Best suited for power forwards and centers looking for maximum impact protection and support, here we have a closer look at the Black/ White/ Metallic Silver colorway of the Air Max Hyperdunk 2010. Stay tuned for detailed shots of several other colorways.
Available Now: Nike Air Max Hyperdunk 2010 in Black/ White/ Metallic Silver
Im not feeling the strap but i like the carbon fiber look on the shoes
i wouldn’t mind seeing a mcfly colorway of these…
They look more like Hyperrize than Hyperdunk!!
I really wish they’d stop advertising FlyWire as good support for PF’s, and C’s, because it just isn’t(for me at 255lbs there’s no structural integrity, and the lateral support gets burned up within a handful of wearings, after which you end up next to the foot-bed on nearly all cuts), and with the 360 Air Max, you just can’t get enough control from the FlyWire to play fast. So just use the material on shoes that do benefit, the guard shoes, but leave the Bigs shoes alone.
I’m on a Nike sponsored team for soccer in England (football league championship) and the FW we get on our boots is definitely not the same as the FW on GR’s. The Superfly II I got from Nike is completely different from the Superfly II I bought from a shop. It’s much stiffer and provides great support. I imagine guys in the NBA are getting much better FW than what the GR is.
It really frustrates me, that they do have it. Because they’re short selling the bigger athletes(without sneaker contracts), by offering these Kids/Fan versions to the public.
And since they do have it, and are providing the good stuff to their sponsored teams, it suggests they know an athlete needs more.
That ain’t right.
these are good for point guard?
@lucas I am a Point Guard and these shoes are pretty good traction was a so so and that wasnt much help for when I wanted to cross back and forth and try and stop on a dime
