Another Nike Hyperdunk Supreme Shoe For Basketball

Another Nike Hyperdunk Supreme Shoe For Basketball

They are at it again. Actually they never stopped. And if recent history is any indication, it doesn’t look like they are going to stop any time soon. The “they” I refer to is of course the athletic shoe giant Nike. As a collective group the shoe designers at the company refuse to let a day go by without announcing the release of a new basketball shoe. Good for them! I am certainly not complaining, I am just trying to keep up with all the delicious shoes that they are dropping in the sneaker world. And I have no problem with doing so.

The newest sneaker masterpiece to come out of the Nike camp is another colorway of the Nike Hyperdunk Supreme 2011. So far this year with have seen Sport Red, Digi-Camo Gorge Green, Black, and Tonal Green colorways. The newest and most certainly not the last shoe, will use Team Orange. This color is featured on the shoe’s upper, tongue, laces, inner lining, heel cage, and a portion of the midsole. Grey is used on the Swoosh and midsole. If you are a fan of the color orange, this is a must have shoe.

This is a Nike Hyperdunk Supreme so that means that a webbed TPU overlay will be used. As part of their “Premium Innovation”, this toe overlay enhances support and comfort in an already technologically advanced basketball shoe. Flywire is featured on the uppper while a Zoom Air unit occupies the midsole. A solid herringbone rubber outsole completes one of the best basketball shoes that Nike’s has to offer. Originally rocked by Kobe Bryant, the Hyperdunk has continued to improve in design and performance since it’s inception in 2008.

With the addition of the new webbed TPU overlay, the Hyperdunk has continued to improve it’s performance standards. A new, more breathable Flywire upper is used as a platform for the toe overlay. The webbed overlay locks the foot down and conforms to the foot to minimize any unnecessary movement inside the shoe. As a result, this just might be the most responsive and cushioned shoe that Nike has released this year.

Other than the Digi-Camo colorway of the Hyperdunk Supreme 2011, this is easily the best colorway to drop so far. But then again, I am a sucker for Orange. More importantly, I am a sucker for most of the colorways of Nike shoes for basektball. I can’t wait for tomorrow.
