I started hooping again a couple of weeks ago. I'm wearing a pair of lightly-used (I bought them new) Hyperizes from '09. I like the fit and weight, but there's not enough cushioning in the fore-foot for my liking.

I'm considering these. They aren't hideous, they have zoom air in the forefoot and the price is unbeatable.

Anyone have any experience with them? Any other recommendations?

AKA God's waste of blackness.

I used to be hyper-athletic...I could touch the top of the square, go between the legs and dunks and shit. I had a respectable handle, but no jumper of which to speak.

After a few years off, the athleticism is gone, as is the handle. I still play good defense and I'm effective in the post on height alone, but I wouldn't say I can hoop anymore.

Some of the best shoes I've hooped in

I bought them because I need hella ankle support. Mine are brittle at this point after spraining them over and over again during my playing days.

Even if you don't need that support it's nice to have it. I cringe at these new low top ball shoes the kids wear nowadays




Really only had one complaint. They are a bit tight around the ankles at first. But Once u break them in you're good

Pretty much always have.

and what type of baller u are

i prefer the hyperdunks to the hyperfuses just bc of how light they are and bc they cut out a lot of the extra sliding in the shoe (narrow feet)

they can be a little harsh on the toes if you have fingers for toes like me but that's any shoe...it's enough cushion and support all around...good traction...light as hell

not making a ton of cuts

mainly impact protection from jumping?

or are you getting your dogs stepped on a lot?

if it's the latter than stay away from my reco lol bc i once got a case of black toe rocking these...but i still like them a ton performance wise

i'd sacrfice a bit of weight for full toe enclosure if that's your major "toe" concern...

i have extremely long toes and i'm unwilling to sacrifice the lightness and the comfy squeeze of the hyperdunks...

but if you just need good impact protection...u good

something like a nike air max actualizer might be a better idea to balance shoe weight with toe protection...

most of my toe issues from before was moreso bc my nails grow mad fast and you have to keep them very short to avoid black toe in any shoe

Good fit for narrow feet and hella light

I still play in last year's bc i like them so much and im meticulous about not using them anywhere but gym floors

And my new pair strictly for indoor

except the sole/midsole on them is not just an eyesore...it seems bulky

i assume it's still mad light but i can't get over that...i might have to try some on though

It may be like 1/4 inch taller than normal but it isnt noticeable

Like you dont feel out of touch with the floor or anything

haven't balled yet since I'm dealing with this stupid plantar fasciitis.

got them from the adidas site for 60 bucks.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

hyper dunks are much more narrower than hyperfuse



with concrete charlie riding hard for under armor i would strongly suggest finding a pair of underarmor sneakers on sale and trying those out

I guess I'm just stuck in the 90s, 'cause I only wanna fuck with Nike. I might have to hit the outlets.

should be able to find them at very reasonable prices
i like the look better than the 2014 anyways

is the '13 better?

thats very strange since the retail for the 2013's was 100 +



well i would strongly suggest to atleast try to find a pair to try on to compare the difference. cant go wrong with 70 bucks though...
