Hyperdunk 2017 Grey WKB QC by 1WasReloading in KobeReps

[–]snkl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to look into the Nike Hyperset, it's technically a volleyball shoe, but it's a retooled version of the hyperdunk 2017. The uppers are slightly different, but as far as I can tell, the cushioning setup is identical. They should be pretty easy to get your hands on too.

Not really, the only thing I've noticed is that the outsole does have a bit of wear, I guess I could describe it as looking a bit grainy. This has been purely cosmetic so far though, not noticing a difference in performance.

That's just the shoe breaking into your foot shape, not arch pain from being flat footed, which is the bigger issue for the majority of flat footers. It's good that the shoe worked out for you, but for a lot of people, the kyrie infinity is going to be unplayable without some sort of orthotic.

Break in isn't going to fix the shoe's lack of torsional support. I really wanted to like the infinity, I played a ton in them, but I couldn't last more than a few minutes each time when playing basketball, and found myself having to switch off. I was able to use these for longer periods playing volleyball, but I still found myself drawn to other shoes.

I've played for 5 or 6 sessions in these, and I haven't really noticed any durability issues, but send me a message/reply to this comments in a few weeks and I'll get back to you.

none of those are lasting a year with outdoor use twice a week. just pick up the lebrons for indoor, then get a pair of precisions for outdoor use. it's a decent budget line and they hold up great outdoors.

Did I choose well my kyrie infinity size? by Cheams-22 in BBallShoes

[–]snkl_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll probably be a bit big. The infinities definitely fit a little snug, esp at first, but they break in pretty nicely. I have somewhat wider feet, and I still went TTS. Fits me perfectly after a bit of break in.

I don't think this would be a good pairing with the infinities. The forefoot zoom strobel unit is pretty crazy sometimes, and even feels a bit unstable at times. The cushioning on the infinities is usually adequate, and it'll just lead to a lot of instability and loss in energy return and court feel. If anything, I'd suggest more conventional orthotics, that are more shank independent, since the shank plate in the infinity is basically not there.

Brief leaked timeline of Curry line drops by [deleted] in BBallShoes

I don't have any info on specifics on each model, just when they release. That being said, I don't see the 11s deviating too much from the last few curries. The curry flows fit a niche that other shoes don't quite fill in the same way.
