Kicks on Court - October 13, 2008
 Is Adidas really the sole licensing holder of the NBA? Ever since the Adidas news surfaced, many Nike basketball creations have surfaced to everybody’s liking. One sneaker that has been getting rave reviews is the Nike Hyperdunk. Recently, at the first NBA basketball game held outdoors in Indian Wells, California, more than half of the players were seen wearing Nike Hyperdunks. Players such as Raja Bell, Boris Diaw, and Ruben Patterson were seen ballin’ in them.
Who knows how much traction they had out there with the cool desert air circulating throughout the hardwood! Matter of fact many of the players complained about court traction and chilly weather. Shaq was quoted as saying, “It was colder than a mother—— out there. And you can quote me on that.” As basketball season approaches, it is safe to say the Nike Hyperdunk is now the face of basketball. Thanks to Yahoo! Sports for the pics. |

FLYMIKE: hyperdunks are hella comfortable. i’ve read (a review on solecollector) that the lunar foam loses some of it’s springback/responsiveness/cushioning over time, but i haven’t noticed any decrease in the performance of mine so far. great ankle support, a nice booty style interior, SUPER LIGHT, good traction, can’t say anything bad about these shoes other than that the flywire plastic-like sides look a little weird since so unique.
