Nike HyperDunk 2014 TB Review

Nike HyperDunk 2014 is one of the most popular basketball shoes made in 2014. There are several reasons for its popularity. The shoe is stable, light-weight and can provide good ankle support.

It features a rubber outsole which provides durability to the shoe not just on the court, but out doors as well. Therefore, this shoe can be used for playing streetball as well. It is also features a lunorlon sole which provides great cushioning.

The shoe has a high-top design that will provide good ankle support by stopping your ankles from rolling incase you trip. In addition to that, the shoe features multi directional traction which allows you to perform quick movements without losing your traction.

Nike HyperDunk 2014 TB also used Dynamic Flywire Technology that ensures lockdown. This makes the shoe feel part of your foot adding more stability to your moves. It also features a very fluid heel to toe transition. The shoe will be a snug fit due to its Flywire technology and will provide great traction while minimizing ankle rolling.

Nike Men’s Air Visi Pro 3

Second shoe on our list is also by Nike. Nike is known to make some great shoes and the Nike Men’s Air Visi Pro 3 is a shoe that is great for beginners. There are many reasons to love the shoe. It’s performance, price and durability. Let’s look at some of the features of the shoe.

The shoe features a Zoom unit in heel. This Zoom unit is a light, durable and provides cushioning during impact. A good support is great for a person who is just starting out with basketball. The shoe also features a padded ankle collar which provides comfort while you are in the shoes.

The shoe also has good ventilation on the toe box which improves the experience of the player. The shoe has a herringbone and storytelling traction with a thick rubber sole for great traction and control indoors. The thick rubber makes it last longer in outdoor surfaces where most of the beginner basketball players first start playing.

The Mens KD 5 Elite review is the 5th generation shoe by the NBA basketball player Kevin Durant. This shoe is one of his most popular signature shoe. Also made by Nike, this shoe features a Nike zoom unit in toe and heel for impact protection. Like we mentioned before, a shoe that can provide you with support and cushioning will make a great shoe for a beginner player.

The traction for the shoe is a Storytelling traction with multiple flex points for flexibility. This allows for quick movements on the court. The shoe is great for indoor courts. The shoe also features Flywire technology to ensure snug fit and good lockdown for quick movements and fast play.
