Category Performance Ratings
7.3
Traction
Deep-groove pattern with soft rubber. Excellent grip on clean courts but dust-sensitive and can be inconsistent on dusty floors.
7.7
Cushion
Soft Phylon midsole with large Zoom Air heel and modest forefoot Zoom. Heel is protective and bouncy while forefoot feel is quieter.
8.2
Materials
Engineered mesh upper with neoprene and leather touches. Comfortable and durable feeling but not premium.
8.0
Support
Firm heel counter with lateral outriggers and secure lockdown. Good lateral stability though forefoot upper can stretch on hard cuts.
8.2
Fit
Mostly true to size with snug, no-dead-space fit and easy low-cut entry. Some wide-footers report mild forefoot pinching.
25%
Outdoor
Soft rubber compound limits outdoor durability. Deep grooves help but outdoor performance is mixed.
small
large
Sizing
Generally runs true to size for most. A few go half size down; wide-footers may consider half size up.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits narrow to regular widths best. Slightly wide feet may be locked in or experience mild pinching.

I would definitely recommend the Hyperdunk X Low, the only downside is the inconsistent traction.

On clean courts, you are just fine. But on dustier courts, you need to wipe a lot.

Great stopping power on clean courts, but the Hyperdunk X attracts a lot of dust which means you need to wipe a lot.

The big Zoom Air unit in the heel provides a lot of impact protection, but I would have liked to feel the Zoom unit in the forefoot a little more.

Nike has much better materials available, but the Mesh construction with touches of Neoprene and leather performs well and should be very durable.

I didn't have any side-to-side movements in the footbed, no heel slippage, and my ankles never rolled over thanks to the lateral outriggers.

Good lockdown, no heel slippage, but I felt my feet stretching the upper material in the forefoot on hard lateral cuts a little bit.

The overall lockdown, the heel counter, and the lateral outrigger really get the job done.
