Nike Basketball has the Nike Hyperdunk 2016 coming our way this Summer. Along with an Elite and ‘basic’ version, there will also be a low top too.
These are modeled after the ‘basic’ version as there will be no Flyknit on these guys. Zoom Air will still be present as the tooling hasn’t changed at all, but expect the Fuse/ screen mesh build along the upper rather than the more premium feeling Elite.
There is no confirmed release date at the moment, but we’ll update you as soon as we can. In the meantime, let us know which Hyperdunk 2016 you’d like to play in; the Mid, Low, or Elite?
Gotta go with the lows. Hope these turn out to be great performers. Full length zoom is the best!
Hyperdunk em (low and high) dont have full length, they have heel and forefoot. The windows on the bottom have different colors at the heel, forefoot, while elite has one color. Not announced, just seen in pics by multiple people
It’s unlikely they changed tooling just for the heck of it. Until it’s listed by the brand or by someone knowledgable with the shoes then it’s just speculation. You cannot definitively say that they have heel and forefoot or full length at this point. It’s safer to assume that the models all have identical tooling than assuming Nike spent extra money to change the tooling.
Agree on waiting for on hand reviews before judgement but it is rather likely it has a different zoom setup. Why would they cover the full length window in the middle if its not full length then. Its not really much of spending extra money either, previous iterations of mids and lows have the same midsole but lacks zoom in the heel for the lows. They just stuff the area with foam. What makes it different for this one. But yes, what really do we know. We don’t have the shoes on hand yet.
The portion you’re speaking of is just a plastic window. Some may have graphics printed and other might not. Lows tend to have the same tech as the mids. Very rare when they don’t.

Highs will have full-length zoom as well according to Nikeblog. Release around October. These look very promising to me.
You are wrong. There are numerous leaked pictures that show clearly the non elite hyperdunks have full length zoom.
They look a little too much like a budget-model with the materials, a firmer foam would’ve been much better for the shape(the medial side kinda collapses under lace-pressure because there’s no framework).
Yeah, it will be clear when the staff gets the shoes and do initial impressions for what Zoom set up it is.
Nice fuzzy rug. I’d go with the mids, but I have to see a performance review first, though.
These are what the Kyrie II’s should have been.
That white/red colorway is calling my name
those blues are nice
If I make the team I’ll be playing in the mids
I want to play in all of them! Last year’s were the biggest let down ever…
