    We got Hyperize for team shoes 2 weeks ago, and from just 2 weeks of practice they’re starting to tear up. The bottom is starting to unattach when I cut and the flywire is ripping. I think Nike tried to make the shoe so lightweight that it’s not very comfortable or durable.

    Hyperizes T.I.D mit!!
    Hyperdunks weigh a tonne mahn!
    My favourite shoes are Jordan 5’s
    Does anyone own a duck-billed platypus?

    the hypermax is too heavy and lesser grip, the lebrons are too heavy, the hyperize does not have enough traction because there wasn’t as much as herringbone designs for grip. i tried all of them and i like the kobes hyperdunk the best.hyperdunk is known to be an awesome shoe and it is durable. I’m sticking with the original awesome shoe, the hyperdunk.

    lebron shoes are way too heavy and are wicked gongky. nike hyperize all the way

  5. ds22

    So what should i get hyperized or the lebron soilders III

  6. Alvin

    Lebron shoes sucks. Too heavy.

  7. M_Air_J

    About the sizing problem, I wear a US11 caually and ball in the US11 hyperdunks (all my balling shoes are US11s) but theres quite a bit of room in the toe area in the hyperdunks, same with the hyperizes, but i wear ankle braces, would getting a US10.5 hyperize be too cramped?

    WHY CAN’T THEY JUST USE NIKE ZOOM AIR CUSHIONING ISNTEAD OF THE LUNAR LIGHT? THE DIFF OF WEIGHT IS JUST A FRACTION FROM EACH OTHER. ZOOM AIR LAST LONGER.

    cool

  10. Max Power

    I totally agree with this review. When I first put these boys on I noticed the toe box right away. For me though, it fit kinda perfectly because I normally wear a 10.5 but sometimes I get an 11 FOR the extra room, I have flat feet and these are perfect. The dunks are ok but the rizes are perfect for me.

    The hyperdunks is duggy, but the hyperizes is where its at. And for those who say the hypermaxes. Those ARE TO FCKIN heavy. The best of the three to me would be the hyperize. maybe cuz im a guard. but thats what i vibe wit. Plus they LIGHT as a feather.

  12. manfromoz

    My first Hyperize will be the Marty Mcfly… if they are ever released?

  13. Sanna

    I would get the hyperize cuz they don’t cost as much have more variety. Nd they’re lighter nd more breathable. Great for a game.

  14. Z dog

    Wow Nike is really using flywire for every goddamn sport

  15. Will

    Just get Zoom Soldier III’s for now.
    LeBron VII if you can wait.

  16. J-MAN

    Looking forward to feeling the last product

    when i tried the hyperize on, it creased in a bad spot for me. dug into my toes and was not comfortable. i agree with the reviewer too, that it does size big, and you have to really cinch it down or go two socks. I have had the hyperdunks and really liked those. has anyone bought the hyperize and had the same fit problem? wondering if it goes away…

  18. Streetball

    I’m diggin the new Nike Hyperize commercials.

  19. Ray B.

    Crazy comfort, I compare the hyperize to the haurache 2k4!

    LOLOL

    Will Ferrell (Chazz Michael Michaels): … mind bottling, isn’t it?
    Jon Heder (Jimmy MacElroy): … did you say mind bottling?
    Will Ferrell: … yeah, when things are crazy and it is like your mind is trapped in a bottle …

    freeballer..mind bottling? are you serious?

  22. FreeBaller

    I REALLY like these. I mean a lot. With that said, Im gonna J Kidd these and pass, cause the Lebron 7 I think is going to blow all of our minds. The hyperize is mind bottling, but the Lebron 7 is mind boggling.

  23. johnGIRAUD35

    @ La heuy: thanks for your input. I feel the same way about the solider 3 and i’ll probably end up sticking with the solider

  24. Armenian

    Don’t criticize hyperize.

  25. jose(PR)

    Wow the LEBRON 7s r better then these then

  26. la huey

    btw, the reviewer makes a really good point that the shoe feels really shaky when you first put them on but once the game starts up, its solid.

  27. soulie17

    Well that seals the deal I’m getting the LeBron 7’s

  28. la huey

    johnGIRAUD35: I’ve balled in the LBJ Soldier 3s a whole bunch and I like them alot. They’re very durable and the straps keep my laces secure and the fit tight. I just got the Hyperize and played a few games. They feel quicker and breathe much better but they don’t seem to absorb impact as well the Soldier 3s. I mostly play the 3, 4, and 5 spots when I ball. I haven’t balled in the Kobe 4s and the anxiety I’ve built up from a history of ankle injuries won’t let me even think about playing in a pair of those. That’s my two cents.

    sick, hyperize is the future of nike basketball
    btw wat happened to the post on the purple zoom tres

  30. Talented

  31. johnGIRAUD35

    Thanks

  32. dodobrown

    WOW DATS BAD……..i lik da shoe da ppl dat did dat survey were ppl who cnt afford da shoes

  33. tmax224

    I hooped in the hyperdunks and kobe carpe diems last season… does the hyperize meet the performance of the two, or does it surpass it?

  34. nick

    i got the red and black ones and there MUCH better then the hyperdunks.(i had the original red color)
    only thing about the red hyperize is the patent leather or whatever it is creases really bad.

  35. Baller

    Hypermax all the way as a sophmore in high school and standing 6ft 8in I need all the comfort And stability I can get

  36. 1000 pairs

    Gotta hoop in them!

  37. Matt Halfhill

    E,

    The Hypermax is in a different class if you ask me. It’s designed for a bigger man on the court with the full length Air Max as opposed to something like the Hyperdunk and Hyperize that utilizes Lunar Lite and Zoom Air. The Hyperize was designed as a followup to the Hyperdunk, that is why we make so many comparisons between the two shoes.

  38. Koheba

    they’re decent

  39. E

    What about the hypermax? Why no comparison’s of the three?

  40. poepoeiv

    so what is better hyperdunk or hyperize? which one would u buy?

  41. Feet 1st

    so that’s why we shouldn’t criticize…
