Best shoes to play ball in IMO.
Extremely light, very good shoes especially for a guard. Im 5'11" 175 and they are perfect for me. Only drawback is that they have a very short lifespan. I read somewhere that they only have a 80 hr lifespan. We were balling at UCLA a couple weeks ago and this one guy posterized someone and everyone was :roll: and not at the guy that got dunked on but the guy who made the dunk landed and his Hyperdunks tore in half. Ive had mine for about a month and they are still in good condition so I don't know if the 80 hr lifespan part is true but I saw a guys have his tear in half so I guess it also depends on how active you are and how hard you play in them.
yeah i can't speak on durability as i just picked them up on black friday. I've worn them 5 times and they are AMAZING. My favorite ball shoe of all time just ahead of The Questions. Hopefully they don't split on me lol. I picked up a pair of Zoom II soldiers also as a backup pair.

lol...
****kk....
I just bought mine on black friday and they felt fine...
I got the black/purple/yellow kobe ones...
I've only balled up once in them...
That 80 hr life span is when playing outdoors? or indoors? or both?
Nike has to think about us normal people... we cant afford to wear brand new Hyperdunks every game like NBA players do. :)

Im not exactly a shoe expert but my sneakerhead friends tell me that something about the lunar foam cushioning breaks very easily so it might not even be 80 hrs. I guess if you don't jump much the shoes will last longer but if your an intense player then you may want to cop an extra pair in case.
There's no question that Hyperdunks are best basketball shoes to play in. However, the short lifespan is quite a drawback. If you really want Hyperdunks then I suggest you buy 2 or more pairs and alternate every time you play, so they stay playable, per se.
I've had my Hyperdunks ever since July and mine are still fine?
I play ball almost everyday and i'm the starting PG..:confusedshrug:

Are you an aggressive player? The lifespan of Hyperdunks depends on the person wearing them. Has the Lunar Foam bottomed out?
I Ordered mine , and its till being ship..When i get it. im only gonna use it when i go to a mall or watch in a movie theater or hang-out with my friends. i will never play basketball with it. it will ruin it.

These are the ones i got!!!!!
only mine dont look as skinny...lol
I loved the Hyperdunks, at first, then after about 2 wks of playing they began peeling, and eventually busted wide open at about 6 weeks. I am a player that plays all positions 1-4. I actually think these work better for a 4 position in some ways, because that pos. is not cutting as much. I still regard Zoom BB the best Nike Basketball shoe with Hurache 2nd.
i looked at a pair the other day and they felt like they were made out of paper mache.

Yeah that's what I hear. I like the Amare Stoudemire/big man shoes.
The Huarache 08's might be the most underrated shoes out there right now. Alot of people forgot about them because of how hyped the Hyperdunks were. My gf got me a pair during Black Friday for about 60 bucks and they are easily the best basketball shoes I have put on. The cushioning is much more sturdier than the lunar foam cushioning in the Hyperdunks. They are light and also have really good grip. Might be the diamond in the rough of bball shoes because places like Finishline have em for 79 bucks.
how about the TS Creators?
does anyone have em, or can anyone tell me about em?
I wanted Hyperdunks but the durability concerns me! So I found the Creators.
advice??
Well all of your claims proved prophetic. After six months of playing, my Hyperdunks tore. After a sudden change of direction in-game, my left foot felt like it was standing on an uneven surface. Upon further inspection, there was a 2-3 inch tear in the outer cushion. I can't tell how deep it is, and I can still play in the them for now, but I feel their days are limited.
While you will likely only find Hyperdunks on bargain bins by now, after taking into account all the stories of their limited lifespan, I would caution anyone considering a purchase - even at a reduced price. I do not have the money to pump into a couple of new basketball shoes every single year, so this kind of bums me out.
Yeah you definitely should get some i've had some this year and love them.
Real comfortable, light, looks good, etc.
