The Nike Hyperdunk line has long been considered one of the best non-signature options for those who want serious performance out of their hoops shoes, and there’s no reason to think that’ll change in 2015. Looks and design, though? Those are set to change in a big way, it’d seem. Today we get a look at the Nike Hyperdunk 2015, and it’s every bit the 180° change that our first preview indicated.
Resembling the Kobe 9 Elite or original Hyperrev more than it does the last Hyperdunk, the Hyperdunk 2015 boasts a higher-than-usual hightop cut, comprised of a largely no-sew upper that’s reinforced with Dynamic Flywire. That distinctive upper rides atop an equally singular sole that seems to crawl halfway up the heel, an evolved take on the Hyperdunk 2013’s unit that integrated the heel-counter right into the midsole.
Stay tuned for more on the Nike Hyperdunk 2015 as it develops, including a concrete release date. How do you like the early photos?
