Kicksnet Basketball Shoe Reviews

Ok – You have spoken! I checked out our site analytics(statistics) today… Hyperdunk is by far the most searched term on our site. I’m going to give you what you crave… >> a full review of the Nike Hyperdunk complete with analysis of the new Flywire, Flyfit and Lunarlite technologies deployed in Kobe’s – Nike’s newest high tech product.

Nike has now realeased the Nike Hyperdunk TB – team edition in multiple colorways (seen below). Just in time for the upcoming 2008-2009 college NCAA and highschool basketball season.

Here are some quick Definitions for the technology deployed in the Hyperdunk:

Nike LunarLite

Nike’s new(2008) LunarLite foam is lighter than standard Phylon by at least 30% and it provides springy cushioning for your foot. Lunarlite is normally encased in a Phylite/Phylon midsole delivering cushioning that’s soft and not too mushy like double stack zoom-air. It distibutes impact force more evenly and helps reduce pressure points common in basketball shoes.

Nike’s Flywire Technology

Flywire(2008) creates a new lightweight support mechanizm for your foot. Thin fibers of Nylon are strategically placed on the upper of the shoe to hold the foot in place, providing lateral and lockdown support around your foot. Flywire allows for significant reduction in weight – replacing commonly used heavier upper materials like full grain leather.

Flyfit

Nike’s Flyfit employs Flywire technology for creating a comfortable supportive upper that is much lighter than typical upper construction materials.
