What does the 3D runners feel like cushion wise? Nice pick up. I hope to find a pair in the future.

Surprisingly plush. There isn't as much give as an UB setup but it's very comfortable. Doesn't feel all that different. The insole is doing a lot of the work there (id assume) as the midsole is understandably rigid. It's impressive that they pulled it off. No where near as cool as the adapts but they're my fav adi drop of the year.
 
Has anyone flown in the hyperadapts yet? I'm envisioning nightmare scenarios with the TSA security people.  I remember flying with an early Macbook Air that had an SSD and it caused a whole freakout because the hard drive had no moving parts - had to pull up an apple website, explain the solid state tech - took about 1.5 hours worth of questioning.  Would like to avoid that.

Thanks!

I will never take off my shoes or power up my laptop again...you need to sign up for TSA pre check ASAP. Don't know your occupation but if you work for the federal government your agency will even cover the cost. If not, the $85 is worth it.

Right there w you, I'm pre. I just worried about carry on bag. I don't check bags. Guess I could wear through.

I flew to NY twice last week to pick mine up. Both flights back they just opened the box and wiped the shoe with some cloth and let me go.

Finally got my pair. I must say, the technology is pretty nice. Still don't know how I feel about them. Anyone else feel the same?

If don't know how you feel means you're between a state of childlike joy, unabashed swagger and nerdish excitement...then I totally get you.

I think they look cool but I don't care about the auto lacing honestly, its a cool gimmick but if you look closely it looks like a science fair project the way the cable system works and how its attached to the shoe... I'm in for the design and the lights

Okay, I said I'd do a full-on performance + technology review, but after today's run, I'ma reconsider the training and basketball parts as I can let others do that if they plan to. :lol: I decided to be the guinea pig for you guys and test it out for just running and give you guys my "test drive" thoughts.

That being said, review time! As always, a CliffNote version of the review first. In a nutshell, the HyperAdapt 1.0 is definitely moving towards the direction of the future of footwear by rather innovating one hell of a lockdown system as an illusion of "self-lacing" without leaving out the fact that these can definitely perform well enough for athletic activities. I only say "well enough," because although you CAN do these things, it doesn't mean it's THE go-to shoe for that choice, but the whole concept is leading to somewhere brighter.


Now if you want to read one descriptive-*** (and possibly unnecessary) review, then please do read along! Please remember that this is a "test drive" review. I did not go 20-30 miles in these or anything. I just wanted to see how the shoes were performance-wise and whatnot.

Okay, so let's break it down...

SAMPLING CONDITION/SIZE & WEIGHT
Wore these shoes from Thursday [the day after my pick-up] to this morning, 7 days straight. I stuck with my true size and wore it casually, short periods of times and long periods of times, and two running occasions (and you'll see why I stopped there). The weight of the shoe is a bit under 14 ounces (it's 14 ounces under sz 9, and I'm an 8.5, so maybe 13.8 ounces).

CASUAL USE
There's not much to say about the shoe when it comes to this: the look is subtle and sleek if you got the black pair, and the silver pair gives it a tech appeal. Casually feels great like a regular shoe. OH, you know what though... Long drives in this shoe? Holy crap, so not doing it. This could be the shape of my feet, but my right foot was getting bothered when I was going through a 2.25 hr drive... it's likely due to the sizing, so if anything, I kinda wish I had this in a size 9. Other than that time, the true-size fit has been fine!

RUNNING
Okay, so I've noted two sessions of running. Before I continue, let me give you the line of shoes I've ran in (all Nikes) - Zoom Pegasus 31 (regular mesh & Shield), Zoom Pegasus 32 (mesh & shield), LunarEclipse 2, LunarGlide 4, Air Max 2011, Air Max 2013, Zoom All Out Flyknit, and currently, the Zoom Vomero 11. Let me start off by saying that I ran this on track and on terribly-uneven concrete (pictured below); none of that Qias/QrewKicks "20-Second Treadmill Shoe" type of ****. These are conditions applied as if you guys would do a few mile run outside while looking at cars and people and other runners pass by with the wind blowing with or against you. I guess I can call myself a runner... I mean, I take running serious as I run twice or three times a week as part of my weekly rotation, but I don't know if I'm considered a "serious runner." Anyway...



  • SPEED SESSION: For the nature of the product, I just kept it simple with four sets of 1 x 400 meters (1 lap) and 2 x 200 meters (half laps) with a break of 1 minute or less in between each metered run. For each distance, a 400-meter run was at 10K with a timed goal of 1:45 - 1:50, the first 200-meter run had a goal of :50 seconds, and the second 200-meter run had a goal of :45 seconds.
  • THREE-MILE RUN: Simple three-miler on various forms of concrete including this...

All in all, the cushioning makes the shoe feel like a running shoe. One issue I have is the weight, because the lockdown is what makes it dope. Being a runner in the Zoom Vomero 11s and all the other shoes above, the main similarity with those is that they are all LIGHT... like "10.5 - 11.5 ounces" light. On paper, a little extra 2-2.5 ounces don't seem so light, but when you run in it, it's like running with feathers on your back vs. running with bricks on your back. I felt a bit held back with them and although I'm making a drastic comparison, it's not THAT bad. For a shoe with a battery, it's actually pretty damn light. For the speed session, the cushion was great... the insole give the shoe a bit of a bounce, which is a bit more than average for the Lunarlon insole. The traction is solid... I mean, it does what it does fine, and there wasn't much of a problem there. Mind you, I ran on a wet track at Kezar. The fit is fine, but the lockdown is top-notch. THIS right here is the technological benefit of the shoe. It's called "Adaptive Lacing," but the way I see it, it's a shoe that allows you to give you more control of the lockdown other than just tying up your shoes and going. The thing about that lace engine or "Adaptive Lacing" feature is that it's strong as ****.

When you apply the physics of sports into it and you're either playing ball, running, and/or training, think about the force you're putting on when you go forward, left, and/or right, or backwards. All the cuts, stops, pivoting, and motion that's being applied can easily loosen up the Flywire. When you do anything with any shoe in general and your laces may not be tight enough, or if they don't hold strongly and you're doing all of that, it has a higher chance of loosening. So that being said, it's a job VERY well done on taking on a feature people have dreamed about and turning it into one of the best product benefits.

Now for that three-miler run... maybe I just didn't warm up well enough. For two miles, everything was good, and then of course, the weight started getting to me, and then came another problem: the toebox. The left foot was fine, and it just happens to be my bigger foot. My right foot wasn't feeling quite so well as the pinky side of the toebox started pushing my sock, which started rubbing on my pinky toe uncomfortably... then the back didn't feel so comfortable... barely made it to three miles. Being able to readjust the tightness of the shoe on the fly that quick though... it actually does wonders. Again, this is just during a run. If it was for a casual stroll, tying the shoes and I've never owned anything with Flyweave, but I've seen and felt it for a little bit when I saw the AJ29 at the stores. From what you guys saw on what I ran on, it's done a bit of little cosmetic scuffing on the housing, and I want to keep it as neat as possible, so I'ma stop here. :lol: For what it's worth for running, it's good enough, but it's best to use shoes dedicated for running.

SOME KIND OF CONCLUSION
At the end of the day, the shoe (for what it's worth) is pretty great! The only concerns for me is the toebox issue and the weight. A lighter shoe is always better, but for casual purpose, it does the job! To satisfy a kid's dream of having self-lacing shoes, it's one of the dopest shoes to have. It's not a Nike Mag and I understand everyone wants that, but for a shoe that you can rock on the daily and still excites you every time you put the shoe on like it does for me even after 7 days, it's awesome. When you piece it altogether, it's more of a "product experience" than it is a shoe. Yeah, at the end of the day, it's a shoe, but it's just more than that. It's like having a brand new phone, and you just want to keep playing with it. You show it off to your friends or family, and you just want to see their reactions like David Blaine every time he spits up a ******* frog out of his stomach. Maybe this review won't be important for the majority of people here. Some of you will ignore it, and most of y'all may not bother to read this entire review, and it could go unnoticed along with other posts here. Maybe I'll be criticized for this, but i just want to let y'all know I'm selling potatoes. I'm also very excited to see what Nike will roll out for future products, but at the end of the day for now, the HyperAdapt 1.0 is definitely a seed that's worth watering for growth. I say "some kind of conclusion," because there may be more I'd like to try in terms of performance aspects with the shoes.

​

In case of questions..
- Will you continue to wear it for athletic activities? Probably. It's nice knowing that this shoe can be worn for more than one purpose, so if I somehow forget to bring my running shoes with me when I go on a run after work and I happen to have these on... it wouldn't be the worst thing to happen. I just hope it's on a track.

- Will you try it for basketball/training eventually? Yeah, I would like to. Perhaps this is when I can take advantage if I'm doing either activity indoors.

- Is it worth it? I say this for the reviews I've written on NikeTalk: it's completely subjective and it's your personal opinion. If you hesitate by second-guessing, then it's not worth it. I've said this for the Tech Knit Windrunner in the Tech Fleece thread, and I've said this for the Nike Zoom All Out Flyknit in the Zoom Pegasus thread. Same applies here.

- Have you charged it yet? Tell you what: seven days with a lot of on-and-offs and loosening and tightening, and it's still blue.

- Will it continue to be part of the casual rotation? Hell yeah! For the performance rotation, not really... maybe as an option when it's needed/wanted. For now, I'll stick to the shoes I wear for its respective sport.



Anyway, sorry for having it too long, but hope this review gives you guys something to consider!
