From time to time, I will post my opinion about Nike/Jordan Basketball shoes that did not hold up to the hype. Maybe the shoe looked great, but when it came down to the hardwood or pavement, it was unsuccessful. Post your thoughts if you owned the shoe; tell me if you agree or disagree.

The Nike Hyperflight, in my opinion, is one of the best-looking basketball shoes for the 2000’s. It had simple lines, yet the patent leather gave the shoe pizzazz. I still think Steve Madden stole some styling cues from this shoe, using the “H” on its casual shoes. In the end the Hyperflight performed poorly. The Hyperflight had no traction, little ankle support because of the use of patent leather, and was prone to cutting ankles. I don’t know how Jason Williams wore the Hyperflight while performing streetball moves in the NBA. I take that back, White Chocolate is pretty amazing.
