Nike Hyperdunk 2013 [Review]

  Nike Hyperdunk 2013 The Nike Hyperdunk 2013 will release on July 20th & hopefully our performance review will help you decide whether or not you’ll make the purchase. Traction The traction on the Hyperdunk 2013 is definitely the highlight of the shoe. We’ve had good traction throughout the entire series overall but this is the first time that Nike has really gone all out with such an aggressive usage of herringbone. Front...

Nike KD VI [Review]

Nike KD VI Traction It isn’t horrible but it’s not as good as last years. While I was editing the video review I noticed that the pattern featured on both the KD V & KD VI are nearly identical but executed differently. The KD V‘s pattern was made so that the outline of the pattern was cut away and removed from the outsole, this provided an aggressive pattern which worked well. Meanwhile, the KD VI did the opposite and left the outline of...

[Teaser] Nike Hyperdunk 2013

  I’ve always appreciated the Hyperdunk but it wasn’t until the Hyperdunk 2012 that I truly liked a pair on-court & it wasn’t until 2013 that I truly loved a pair on-court. Hyperfuse sure has come a long way. The Nike Hyperenforcer’s claim to fame was the combination of two of Nike’s favorite technologies; Hyperfuse and Flywire. Not only does the Nike Hyperdunk 2013 combined both technologies but it also does it better than before.   The...

Nike Zoom Hyperdisruptor [Review]

Nike Zoom Hyperdisruptor Traction After a small break-in period, the traction proved to be practically perfect on every court no matter the condition. For those of you that prefer to gear a squeak with your traction… this is your shoe. Cushion I wound up playing in the Hyperdisruptor much longer than I typically wear review sneakers as I was remaining adamant that they just needed “a little more break-in time” for the Zoom Air to become what...

Nike Kobe 8 SYSTEM Elite [Review]

 Nike Kobe 8 SYSTEM Elite They are slightly more durable but performance wise, they’re nearly a wash. Traction The traction on the Kobe 8 SYSTEM and Kobe 8 SYSTEM Elite are exactly the same. No changes whatsoever and that isn’t a bad thing. Traction overall is great so not changing it isn’t something to complain about. Cushion This is where the system part finally comes into play. We’ve had the Lunarlon and the Nike+ enabled midsoles...

Air Jordan Project – Air Jordan XIV Retro [Review]

  Air Jordan XIV Retro They went from black cats to fast cars… both are beasts in their own right. Traction Herringbone is in place and this time around it doesn’t ensure great traction. The grooves aren’t as peaked/ sharp as other herringbone patterns so it isn’t able to bite the floor as well. Consistent wiping of the outsoles will be required – unless you play on pristine floor conditions – in order to achieve optimal traction. Surprisingly,...

Nike LeBron X P.S. Elite [Review]

Nike LeBron X P.S. Elite Out of all three Nike Elite Series 2.0 models, these actually performed the best when directly comparing them to their original counterparts. Traction Traction was solid on the LeBron X and its the same here. Nothing has changed at all as these perform nicely under most court conditions. The pattern itself is multidirectional so no matter what you are doing, you’ll be covered. Cushion I’ve said it before and I’ll...
