Nike Hyperdunk
April 10th, 2008 by RICHIE RICH
Nike and Kobe Bryant launched the Nike Hyperdunk on April 7th, Nike’s lightest and strongest basketball shoe ever. The Hyperdunk combines two new Nike innovations: Flywire technology and Lunarlite foam. Flywire redefines footwear construction, shaving off weight and adding strength, allowing athletes to be lighter on their feet and faster on the track and on the court. Lunarlite foam features a unique cell structure making it lightweight and ultra responsive as a cushioning system. At only 13.0 ounces, the Nike Hyperdunk is 18 percent lighter than the average Nike basketball shoe. Kobe runs an average of 2.5 miles a game—less weight on his feet means more energy on the court. Kobe is expected to play in the Nike Hyperdunk tonight when the Lakers meet the Clippers. The Hyperdunk hits US retail in late July. There will be a limited run available on www.KB24.com.
