He reviewed them before he even wore them, I'm hoping for a performance review, thanks though.

yea i found it weird that all these weeks have gone by since his initial impressions and he hasn't dropped the performance review yet. dudes in here have these and haven't dropped a real performance review yet. nike just dropped the ball completely.

A homie was able to hook me up with the gym green looking pair for $150 shipped. I've only tried them on, and the sizing is the same as the first generation Hyperposite.
As for comfort, I'll break them out Friday, and come back to update.

@Nike feet you beat me to it haha. Glad he finished the review. Looks like something I'll try to cop on a big discount, gotta believe Nike will do better than $170.

im a bigman but im a slasher and shooter. i never play the post. the stiffness is what concerned me originally and it seems everyone who sees these says the same. nightwing mentioned the lebron X once maybe twice, which to me isnt a good sign. i think im skipping these and gonna just wait for another DS lebron X to hit ebay for a reasonable price

even if they were discounted to $99, i can't wrap my head around any of those colorways. i've never wanted a shoe so bad and yet been so repulsed by every single colorway.

You must know someone who could dye them or paint them for you... Look at Enzo's shoes he wears, always total customs... Probably someone in Orlando, too...

i have a strong feeling that customized shoes aren't good to play in. and u cant paint inside the bubble or the sole color. so u can only do so much

Upon first wear, the shoes made squeaking noises on the hardwood floor in my house, and the the box felt stiff against the top of my foot. I walked outside, and again on hardwood floors, and squeaking from the sole disappeared.
Sizing is definitely the same as the first generation Hyperposite. They broke in pretty quickly though. Within an hour, the pressure from the toe box was gone.

I honestly bought them for casual wear like I did with the hyperposite 1. Someone else would have to give you a review on court performance.

Been eyeing these ever since noticing that LeBron X bubble. Just grabbed the greens for 136, I can live with that price.

How do they feel compared to the original Hyperposites?
I remember I played a full court game in the original ones, and after one game I had to stop because of the pain on the sides of my foot. It was terrible, felt like a vice grip squeezing the sides of my feet.

i wouldnt say vice grip anymore, but its definitely snug towards the front of the foot on the sides. but the lack of flexibility i see being a problem on the court. if you like to sprint, cut, or anything like that... these really arent the shoes for you imo. they fight you on every step to NOT flex or bend in any way. theyre stable as HELL! no side wobble at all. but i just see a lot of pain in my future wearing shoes that dont flex with my foot, especially now that i have to play outdoors so running stiff ON concrete = no good. its a damn shame man. what were they thinking?

So... for those who picked up on the clearance coupon. Please keep us updated on how they feel. I'm still eyeing them but I haven't seen enough positives on how these feel to pull the trigger.

Casual wear, or for the court?
If for casual wear, they're definitely comfortable enough to wear all day if you sized correctly. They breathe more so the first generation Hyperposite as well, so your feet never get hot.

I was hoping for in court wear. But the fit is y biggest concern. I've always worn size 9.5 in court shoes but last years hyperposite there is no way I could have survived in 9.5
