Nike Hyperdunk “United We Rise”
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Jul 31, 2008 We are less than 2 weeks from the most important basketball tournament in the world. Yes, when you win this one, you can rightfully claim to be the World Champs (not to take anything away from you Celts).
Nike is the official outfitter for the US Olympic Squad and on the court of the Beijing Games, Kobe and company will be unite in the fight for gold. On the feet of most of the US basketball squad as well as many other nations is the Nike Hyperdunk - the lightest Nike Basketball shoe to date. This Flywire featuring shoe is said to be the most revolutionary basketball shoe designed for today’s game of basketball that plays 5 men of sheer athleticism as opposed to yesteryear’s games of clearly defined, concrete positions and roles. For the Olympics Nike is running a United We Rise campaign around the entire Olympic team. The unique United We Rise reflective 3M print makes its way to the upper of this pair of Hyperdunks as well as other models in the Nike, Jordan, and Converse line. This pair of “United We Rise” Nike Hyperdunks was released exclusively at Nike’s House of Hoops, but are available online now at Osneaker.com. Stay tuned for more Olympics coverage every day leading up to and through the games on NiceKicks.com. |

Damn….These are the first pair of Hyperdunks (besides 2015 McFly’s) that I like.
Too bad they’re 500 because while they’re hot…they’re not worth 500

I got the all black ones and I haven’t really worn them much yet but from where I tested them out by stepping a whole bunch, there wasn’t any signs that creasing would be a problem. Actually surprised me a lot. These are so nice on your feet. It feels like your barefoot in a way. I definitely recommend them if you play basketball.

i played ball in them(white/black) for 2-3 hours and there is hardly any crease at all
