I don't know why Eric Avar allowed Leo Chang to mess up the hyperdunk line because the original HD was a classic baller shoes. The 2010 version is lighter and feature zoom air but IMO the biggest flaw is the heel counter and the tiny base of the heel. The plastic heel cup sit too low and allow the foot to bend when moving laterally. The small heel base also does not help with lateral support. It is not wide and sturdy enough. This would result in higher chances of getting an ankle sprain and sometime severe ankle sprain. Originally i though the HD 2010 is average but now i think it's just too flimsy and poorly designed just like the hyperize from last year. No lateral support whatsoever. I tried on a pair today. Did some test at the gym and bang almost sprain my ankle a couple times. Just try on this shoes for yourself and pretend to roll your ankle over. You can tell that this shoes has no lateral support at all. No wonder many NBA players have sprained their ankle while wearing this shoes. Eric need to take over now

Yea. A while back in the HD 2010 thread I said that the shoe feels like a high top Zoom Kobe V.  Please accept my humblest apologies for comparing it to such a magnificent performing piece of footwear.  I feel like I wasted my money on the 2010 and will only be playing in my ZKV or my OG Hyperdunks.  The 2010 was a waste of time, production & money.  It does look good though.

they should have just kept the OG HD design, and added zoom air in the forefoot

the break in period on these is long. u have to play in em for at least like 5 hours till they feel amazing.

the upper is super stiff but after wearing them long enough they are perfect.

but compare to the basketball shoes around the same time frame, i will easily choose hyperfuse over these hyperdunk 2010...

since the impression of both shoes, i already think hyperfuse will be much more comfortable than the HD2010~ and it proved i am right

So you haven't tried them yet you already pass judgment? How did you prove you were right?

The HD2010s are alright, I find them more comfortable than the Hyperfuse and more durable than the original HDs.

These run a little narrow so I suggest going half to a full size up.

I definitely agree to everything you guys said.
Which is why I bought the OG design, Philippines colorway when I was on a vacation for the first time in my homeland.
The OG design has more ankle support, the new design was sleek and you can easily break an ankle on that.
Don't get me wrong, I like the colorways, but they should have just implemented some new features on the og body, not change it.
I've tried the 2010 version of Hyperdunk, and mine is way comfortable imo.
It feels like butter inside wearing my Hyperdunk.
