Nike Machomai or Nike HyperKO?

[Madan]

Hey guys,

It's time for me to buy new shoes and I'm really hesitating between the Nike Machomai and the Nike HyperKO.

Machomai are 80$ while the HyperKOs are 150$...HyperKOs are almost twice the price of the machomais, does the price reflect they're quality?

Are machomai only average shoes while HyperKOs really good?

Thanks guys...Even if you owned only 1 of the two I'd like to know if you liked your shoes.

The Nike Machomai curve at the bottom sides so much and with the narrow soles they really invite a bad ankle roll easily. I had a pair and sold them immediately for that reason. I also noticed this was a common complaint about them online.

HyperKOs are very cool looking shoes. But they look incredibly uncomfortable for me having wider feet. Boxing shoes are best to try on which is tough because few stores sell them locally.

I bought some of these and I love them. They're wrestling shoes but great for boxing too obviously.
