Usually when a player hulks out of his kicks it’s because he was wearing a really old pair that shouldn’t have been worn, but Aaron Gordon hulked out his brand new HyperRev 2016’s. Damn!
The strange part is that the dunk this happened on was pretty basic, but it shows just how powerful and massive Gordon is. Now, the HyperRev is built for Guards, but completely playable for larger players, and the weirdest part about the situation is that the flimsy sections of the shoe – which are found around the upper – stayed perfectly in tact. It was the midsole he busted through, and that’s something I’ve never seen. Ever.
This kid is something else. He put on a great show at the Dunk Contest during NBA All-Star weekend, and I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ve heard of him. Did I mention he’s from the Bay Area? Good looks, Gordon. Good looks. 
LMAO!!!!!! He needs a foamposite based shoe!
Double lasted midsole lol.
Nice quality! I would recommend this product!
We need a Sports Science explanation on this one. I wonder if it was an accumulation of planting and cutting and then the shoe just gave on a pedestrian dunk. Either way, to go through the midsole like butter is just off the charts.
You asked, here it goes, lol! Common examples of the conservation of momentum center around two or more objects colliding in the absence of external forces. Another twist on the example of a collision would be the idea of a reverse collision or an explosion. If you tape an explosion and play it backwards, it looks like a collision. Well, in this case it is simply Nike and their cheap assed “performance footwear”, not being supportive enough to contain an athletic explosion.
Hope this helps!
As soon as I get used to a format for this site, it changes. And I think he’s too explosive for a “budget” model.
Explosive!
LOL! This is not supposed to happen, at all. The excuse against wearing retro’s is that the new shoes are supposedly “better”. Well ladies and gents, here you go.
It happened with Blake too but only through the upper of the Hyperdunk 2011 Elite during the playoffs.
The new website layout is dope and man air gordon destroyed those his equipment manager must been going crazy looking for a backup pair
Most likely, Someone stepped on part of the shoe, and he made a strong move in another direction. Seen it before.
New Site Format, it must be the effect of the Leap year ^^
I guess Gordon is really on the Heavy Side, and the shoe is meant for lighter players,
but MAYBE it depends on the players playing style,
not sure but when im watching the San Antonio Spurs I see Tim Duncan wear an Adidas Crazyquick 1 in almost every game, which is a guard shoe, again that’s just from what I see on TV,
Maybe the sudden Jump when you dunk destroyed Gordon’s Shoe, or just a random shoe with a minor defect…..who knows….???
I like the new format. And the shoe explosion is lol. Aaron is to powerful for them.
The new layout is interesting. I love the color scheme, but everything seems a little too big. As if I have to lean back when I open the page. I don’t, but you know what I mean. Also, is there a Kicks on Court section still?
You’ll get used to it lol. Click the ‘kicks on court’ tag that’s above the title of a post and you’ll head to that section.
People will probably start to comment about how they wont get the hyperevs2016 because of this.
Please! If yah aint able to do a sitting dunk, yall need not to steer away from this model. Haha
Straight up power and strength. How do you bust through a shoe like this in the way he did?!
Aaron Gordon is going to be one of the most exciting players for the next years.
I see a bit of Blake Griffin and Shawn Marion in him…
These have absolutely no support and not built for cuts. He really should be wearing a better shoe.
All the support is built around the forefoot/ midfoot. Plenty for Guards or lightweight players. Even enough for larger guys that like to stay on their toes. To say they have absolutely no support and aren’t built for cuts is factually incorrect. They are built specifically for cuts and forefoot friendly players. The fact that the midsole tore in half is what should be alarming you… which you clearly missed lol.
Put on a dunk contest show for the ages? Enough bulk to bust through a brand new pair of shoes?? Bay area native??? Alright, I am now officially a Gordon fan.
Just a side effect of having fabric-based(Mesh/Neoprene/Knit/Woven) sneakers, he needs to switch up his sneakers a little quicker, the more natural/comfortable feel comes with reduced durability.
If they were brand-new, just a factory-dud(bad glue).
