Nike Hyperdunk Flyknit 2017 Review
Pros:
amazing traction
very comfortable
Cons:
React cushion is dissapointing
Performance of the Nike Hyperdunk Flyknit 2017:
Reviewers really like the comfortable Flyknit material and the incredible (and very squeaky) traction. The only downside of the shoe is the completely new React cushioning which is not able to convince the critics. Many find it to be dead or lifeless and would prefer a traditional Nike Zoom cushioning. Outside of that, the shoe gets very good grades for its overall performance.

HD2017 has taken the top Hyperdunk spot. Better traction than previous Hyperdunks, better cushioning than the 2012-14 version, great fit, good stability and excellent containment… what more do you want?

Amazing traction, good support and the addition of React cushioning is welcome. I like shoes you can just put on, and they don't get in the way.

Overall, this is a really good shoe. Good traction, nice material and solid lockdown. Support could have been a little better. At $160 it is a little expensive.

The Nike Hyperdunk 2017 Flyknit isn’t a bad shoe. The cushion isn’t what I expected, but it’s tolerable. The lateral containment wasn’t the best, but it won’t keep me from hooping in these again.

I’d say the React Hyperdunk was disappointing. It is a hard shoe to recommend when better options are available at all price points.

The heel is solidly stabilized thanks to these elements, and the aforementioned tongue padding offers enough protection to further lock the heel in from the top.
