Can't wait for Nike to take all my money with their shoes next year
so they're just ripping off old nike basketball shoes from years ago? a la the original hyperdunk from 2008. same colorway as the olympics version and everything.
the hyperdunks were great shoes though. curious if these are as stable since these don't have those huge plastic panels on the sides.

The toebox exterior reminds me of the failed Nike Shox Aces

Funnily enough I actually had this shoe when I was playing in juniors. What a throwbackThe toebox exterior reminds me of the failed Nike Shox Aces
Nike bringing back an iconic colorway/silhouette shouldn't be immediately seen as a bad thing though like some people seem to be suggesting with it being like the 2008 hyper dunks/olympic color way. I, for one, am excited about getting some of those shoes that are nostalgic and couldn't snag the first time around.I am also definitely on the side of optimistic though, so could just be my bias.

Just a Vapor 12 colorway correct? I thought someone said that previously in a different thread. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This design can’t be more lazy. Nike tennis is dead.
So it's an internet duel then between you and I.
Lucky for you, I don't play as much hardcourt so I only need about a pair/year.

Love the nod to an iconic BB shoe.
Not loving the lack of toe drag durability...and potentially the return of the mold issue that plagued the Vapor 6 in this OG Flywire upper...although as @raven5288 mentions above, it looks like fake Flywire (and not the original TPU package the promoted the dreaded red/black mold).

can you let on what happened there exactly? it seemed like it only applied to predominantly white colorways?
Thanks

Hi, yes, as said above or in other posts, the sole is that of the vapor 12, but the upper is that of the hyperdunk '08 basketball shoes (kobe Bryant); an operation that recalls, as you may have guessed, the Vapor Aj3 (Federer), the Vapor x kyrie V (Kyrgios), vapor court Foamposite (Never worn by Federer because he moved to Uniqlo).
The hypersmash perhaps will be worn by Kyrgios or by Alcaraz as the most successful player to make them more visible.....We'll see

What did you think it was going to cost? The V11 was up to $190 for the Premium versions

Gonna have to sacrifice some of the racket bag to cop a pair - or pray they wind up at Ross like the 9.5’s

The 9.5s ended up at Ross? When? Where? lol

I picked both 9.5’s and VP11’s up at the Santa Monica Ross a while back(Nov2023), seen some VC4’s as well but never grabbed a pair
I don't like to think of how overpriced products are, it ruins the excitement.
Pretty jealous, apparently I need to hit up Ross more.

I know. Difficult to believe, but I also knew someone who got 9.5s from Marshall's in Connecticut. He only played casually and was surprised when I complimented him on the shoes. He told me he thought these were just normal shoes and even complained about the cushioning and fit. When I told him how heavily sought after they were, he said he doesn't believe me since if they were indeed so "sought after", how can they possibly end up in a Marshall's? I didn't even know how to reply because his logic was sound, and I was so dumbfounded by the fact that he found these at a clearance store that I couldn't think critically.

Are they? I think @J011yroger likes very cushioned shoes for standing on court all day but I could be wrong
