I personally experienced Hyperdunk when I went to Nike headquarters in the United States for an interview, and it was a sample version. Due to the influence of the name, I always think that Hyperdunk and dunk are inextricably linked, so compared with Air Force 25, Hyperdunk's design doesn't impress me much. But if we separate Hyperdunk from dunk and look at these shoes separately, the strong modern technology is quite special, just like a suspension bridge standing on the river. The whole pair of shoes looks simple to the extreme, with almost no extra materials.
The reason for this feeling is largely due to the Flywire technology applied in the upper. In the sample version, the upper is thinner than the commercial version, especially the Flywire technology. When you put on Hyperdunk, you can hardly feel the weight on your feet. This time I tried on the commercial version of Hyperdunk, which felt heavier than Sample. It was supposed to improve the protection of shoes, but even so, it was lighter than any pair of basketball shoes I had worn before, almost comparable to adizero. The golden age triggered by Zoom Air and the sudden emergence of 2K4 have a lot to do with the weight of shoes. Therefore, it seems not difficult to foresee the new era of Super Dunk.
From the design principle, the foot wearing Hyperdunk is like being wrapped by latitude and longitude lines, which can fit the foot completely. Because of the author's own conditions and negligence, this function has also caused some minor troubles. I'm always afraid that my shoes are not enough to wrap my feet, so I always tie my shoelaces twice, but for Hyperdunk, it's really unnecessary. It's better than 2K4! As a result, I wore it for a while and had to run to the sidelines to untie my shoelaces-my feet were numb. However, this is not a problem with Hyperdunk, but everyone needs to pay attention when wearing it, especially comrades with fat feet. They can also choose shoes of a larger size, which are more comfortable to wear. In addition, don't ignore the hardness and toughness of Hyperdunk upper because of its weight. It is absolutely not advisable to wear shoes barefoot. Remember, remember.
Besides weight, Hyperdunk's grip on the ground is the most surprising. At first, I felt that such a pair of light shoes had thin soles and shallow lines. Can a "heavyweight" like the author stop walking freely? It turns out that Hyperdunk has lost weight, but he never cuts corners. Looking closely at the soles of shoes, we can see that this may be the most complicated shoes of Nike. In an interview in the United States, the author specifically asked the designer, and the designer immediately took out a lot of information-all about lines, which was extremely detailed. Therefore, even if you are a strong insider, you can rush into the three-second zone in Hyperdunk, and you will never be "like catkins in the wind" because you have no roots under your feet.
Looking at the appearance alone, another question of Hyperdunk is: Compared with the forefoot, its heel is slightly narrower, will it affect its stability? From the sense of wearing, such a design should be based on confidence in Flywire. Because of Flywire, a little change in sole width will not affect the stability of feet. Anyway, during the American test, 30 journalists from all over the world dunked for nearly two hours, and none of them sprained their ankles. Moreover, after the author himself jumped up and landed several times, he could feel that the shoes obviously "led his feet back to the right path", which was really reassuring.
In addition, Director Zhang asked me a very serious question: Why is the inner boot shorter than the upper, which makes it uncomfortable to wear and rubs my feet! I accidentally asked the designer this question, and he gave the answer: If the inner boot is as high as the upper, then the edges of the two parts will naturally be slightly thicker because they need to be "trimmed", and overlapping together may affect the protection of the shoes to the ankles. So once again emphasize the point we mentioned before: when wearing Hyperdunk, you must wear socks.
Generally speaking, Hyperdunk feels similar to 2K4, but it is much lighter than the latter. But for two pairs of shoes with similar actual performance, the light pair is obviously much more comfortable to wear. So Hyperdunk must be higher than 2K4. Think about the scenes that 2K40,000 people sought after in those years. Hyperdunk has the capital to open up a prosperous time of its own. Hyperdunk is the lightest basketball shoe in history; The strongest person in history, who has the final say in what to wear.
