"bought them because I liked them when they first released but wasnt going to pay retail for these at all. Finally dropped enough to not skip out on the shoe. I must say this shoe is awesome does run a little tight but once it breaks in, it fits like a glove. Nike needs to drop more color ways and drop the price and give it to an athlete to put a face with the shoe and you will have a hit on your hands Nike!"

Comfortable to wear at the office, but not a good basketball shoe.

"Let me start, by saying that I really value a good basketball shoe and will pay whatever, as long as it feels good. I only wear Nike. Anyways, I wore these shoes one time to play basketball and was definitely disappointed. First off, the traction is not good at all. In comparison to my Hyperdunk's the Hyperdunk's stick to the court 3 times better. Secondly, while these do lace up high, the stability of the shoe for the Ankle is not good. This shoe is very unstable in the heel and made me feel like it would be easy to turn my ankle. Reason for this is due to the way the air pocket in the heel feels. It seriously feels like your heel is on a bubble and that you could roll it at any time. Seriously it doesn't matter how much lacing you have wrapped around your ankle, if the platform is not stable, it will do you no good. As far as them being comfortable when running, these shoes are very comfortable, and fit my feet much better than the Lebron's did. I don't know why people are saying they are narrow and that you should order a size larger, I felt like they fit just like all the other 13's.
I really wanted these shoes to work out, but I will be sending these back and sticking with my Hyperdunk's for now. The Hyperdunk's lack the cushioning of the Hyperposite's, but definitely excel in stability and traction."

"For the initial, it's 5 stars but I have yet to see its durability especially the 360 MaxAir. Though I'm not expecting 'em soles to last that long on a very hot weather condition since I've lost 14 pairs of Nikes to such extreme heat back in my hometown (last of the Mohicans: XX2 & Zoom Kobe 2) since my room is like an incinerator during the cusp of summer there. Hopefully, in my new place, this isn't a concern anymore."

"great looking shoe but it ripped on the outside part of the hyperfuse around the arch of my foot. only played in two games with them and never in a practice. I've always bought nike and never had a problem like this with any of their shoes. Just disappointed they ripped in two games for the price they cost. hope this review helps"

"These have probably the best material and fit i have seen on a bball shoe in a long time. the foamosite material is amazing and it breaks in better and better every time you wear! The traction is moderate and there is some sliipage but this shoe has pretty amazing combination of materials: hyperfuse and foamposite. As for the price- considering that its a foam the price is still rediculous so i wouldnt buy these unless your a sneakerhead or you collect."

"I generally purchased this shoe for the Camo pattern. I love the way Nike mixed the foamposite with the hyperfuse. Shoe is a little bulky. Snug fit.. I really like it.."

"Basketball is pretty much my life, so i need a shoe that can keep up with me and the nike hyperposite does just that. They are extremely comfortable and hold up just as well, i love the air max which provides excellent cushioning while on the court. Overall one of the best basketball shoes i've seen so far, nike just keeps coming out with better and better products. I strongly recommend this shoe to everyone."

"the sizes run extremely narrow in the toe area of the shoe and the sizes are about 1/2 size to full size too small.. i only would recommend this shoe based on the durability of the foamposite and the comfort level of the air unit but beware of the sizes.."

"I hoop at least 4X a week, i am 260 lbs, 6'3", and athletic. I have been hooping in Lebron's for the last 3 years and thought that I wouldn't be able to find a more stable shoe untill i tried these on. If you are a power player that moves with a lot of enertia, then these are the shoe for you. Stablility, comfort, and performance at its best. Nike really got it right with these. Now I'll have to see how the Lebron X's campare!!!"

Amazing shoe

"Combining alot of great shoe technology, the hyperposites are a very comfortable pair of shoes. Lightweight, and ALOT of ankle support. The air max is GREAT on these and just can't be beat. No doubt the best basketball shoe I've ever owned. Upgrading from the Lebron 9's at 13.5, I went with 12 on these for a tighter fit, and no problems at all, so I don't know if you should go up .5 like some people are saying. It feels so good to run and jump in, these are great for getting that extra bounce. I am extremely happy with this product. I play basketball almost everyday outside my house on the concrete, and I have to say these are amazingly comfortable."

"Just got my pair of fireberry's and i am one satisfied customer, also good looking for the sizing issue, you do have to get a .5 size bigger they run small. Well designed shoe, its comfortable form fitting and already feel broken in. Great job nike with this one, I havent been this content with a sneaker for years, these are for special occasions only."
