Nike Hyperdunk X Review
Pros:
Very supportive shoe
Fits like a glove
Cons:
Traction doesn't hold up on dusty courts
Basic materials
Performance of the Nike Hyperdunk X:
The tenth model of Nike's popular Hyperdunk series doesn't generate as much excitement with sneaker reviewers as previous models. The traction works very well on clean courts, but some reviewers had problems on dusty courts. A large Zoom unit in the heel and a smaller unit in the forefoot provide well-balanced cushioning with decent impact protection and solid bounce. The materials are not flashy or premium, but they perform well, fit like a glove, and provide a lot of ventilation.
Overall, the Hyperdunk X is a very solid performance basketball shoe at a fair price.

If you need a dependable shoe for any indoor surface, with great cushioning, a semi-durable upper, and killer fit, look no further than the Nike Hyperdunk X

The HD X is a jack of all trades which I really love. If the traction and containment were a little better, these Hyperdunks would be close to perfect!

The Hyperdunk X is an above average performer. The fit, materials, and support do very well. Unfortunately, the traction on mildly dusty courts is a bit disappointing.

Works well on every kind of court - I am not sure I ever wiped the outsole while wearing the Hyperdunk X.

The wavy traction pattern worked well on clean courts. On dusty courts, you lose a lot of bite and need to wipe from time to time.

The traction didn't really give me the amount of grip that I personally like, especially on dusty courts.

The cushioning is fantastic. No pain, no aches, no harsh jarring from landing, and it feels quick and bouncy on every move.

The Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot get the job done. But I can't help but feel like it's a step back from React cushioning in the Hyperdunk 2017 or the full-length Zoom of the Hyperdunk 2016.

The materials are…okay. Nothing is premium except for the little bit of leather on the heel cup, but it works.

The lacing system pulls the shoe tightly and securely around your foot. The heel counter, midfoot shank, and the small outriggers also help with support.

Huge heel counter prevents heel slippage, lateral outrigger provides a lot of stability and there is no side-to-side movement in the footbed.

If you like a little room up front, go true to size. If you like as little space as possible, go down a half size and enjoy.
