Nate Robinson won again on All-Star dunk contest, which makes him catch Jordan, Wilkins, Carter. The 1.75-meters-tall blackguard not only create the first “Triple Crown” record on All-Star, but also make the Air Max Hyperize the first “big cushion” shoes in the dunk contest.

The so-called “big cushion” means whole palm or palm visible large-capacity cushion. In the heyday of the mid-90’s “big cushion” shoes was the symbol of top science and technology. The “big cushion”, which protect every toe by cushion, was original standard configuration of UPTEMPO . The swing guys like Pippen and Kukoc were the best spokesman of “big cushion”. However, when “big cushion” was gradually changed to inside style of Force series, many defender “big cushion” fans like Williams and Fisher appeared. To small backguard, although smart Zoom Air was perfect match, Nate Robinson liked inside sneakers carried Max Air only. This time, he choosed Air Max Hyperize to play the dunk contest to show his “big cushion complex”.

But the shoes are not traditionally “big cushion” shoes, like Air Max Lebron Vii, Air Max Hyperize also used the new Max Air 360. The really “whole palm” cushion was increased by 80% charge than before Total Air, so the cushioning is also outstanding. The direct copied Hyperize upper kept the original smart, at the same time inherited the relatively weak support-Flywire on upper and TPU tray on back heel provide necessary steady support, but not the best choice of inside players.

Free series are running shoes which can simulate bare foot training launched by Nike after designers made many researches and tests, so they should be of high technology. There are mainly four styles: 3.0, 5.0, 7.0 and Everyday. 3.0 is closest to barefoot, which can maximum simulate running without shoes. It has the most groove under the sole and is relatively soft. Followed by 5.0 and 7.0, Everyday is the one closest to standard running shoes in the whole series. Front palm is soft waffle block and back palm takes Nike air technology. Thickened Zoom Air provides enough cushioning for runner’s hind paw. Nike’s two most advanced technologies are used on the shoes.

The shoes look very simple and have many match colors so that most people can find one pair for they like. The upper is made of leather and cloth so it has good ventilation. Sponge of upper and tongue is very thick so it is suitable for spring and autumn. There is a layer of rubber on waffle block of front palm and back palm, which is very durable.

Compared with Powerswerve, Predator X has obvious change. Upturned toe plus concave middle outsole looks like running shoes’ design, which is very dynamic, with trace color which is more flow. Predator X upper is made of calf leather. Someone think it’s for environmental protection and someone others think it’s for better durability and protection. However, the real reason is the cost. Undoubtedly, kangaroo leather is the best material for top football shoes. Everyone who have tried kangaroo leather and calf leather will deeply understand the differences between of the two kinds of materials on comfort and touch.

Big area of rubber friction particles inside of the upper is a big change of Predator X. Predator IX’s ambiguous frictional article has been completely overthrown. Predator original function is showed fully on Predator X. On the big area of friction articles is red “Predator” in a font size.

The TPU protection on back heel is still Predator’s traditional highlight. Predator X uses a wide metal patch emphasizes the characteristics.

Non-central shoe lace system is also one of Predator X’s appearance characteristics. The change is maybe for fashion, but it seems to copy the Adipure shoe lace design.

Material of Predator X insole is very smooth. Outer edge has significant upturned. Stepping on it, the feet will be tightly wrapped, which is like PUMA V1.08.

Air Max LeBron VII aims to provide the best comfort and stability, which uses Nike’s innovative cushioning technology-Max Air cushioning unites specially designed for basketball shoes.

When play leaps highly above the court, inside boot and upper is perfectly matched with middle sole. Nike Flywire technology first appeared in Nike Hyperdunk sneakers and brought out unprecedented success. This technology uses minimum material and put together elastic fibers to provide support, while it will not add excess weight on shoes.
