“Think Pink” Nike Hyperdunk
Posted by Nick Engvall | Jan 8, 2009 The month of February will see alot of pink, but Nike has a different type of love in mind. Nike has teamed up with Kay Yow Cancer Fund to release a series of Nike Pink Products to raise money for the fight against breast cancer. Releasing at all three House of Hoops locations will include special edition Nike Hyperdunks and other gear with all proceeds benefiting the cause.
Yow is the coach of NC State’s women’s basketball team and is currently on leave battling breast cancer for a third time. The gear available will include the two kicks, as well as the shirt and basketball seen, which features the Kay Yow Cancer Fund logo, (the pink NC State jersey will not be available). Kay is an inspiration for more than just her team, but to the entire NCAA women’s basketball program, as you will see a number of these pink shoes on the court when February rolls around. Check out the gear and both of the kicks after the break thanks to Foot Locker. |

Jan 8, 2009 at 6:29 pm

Jan 8, 2009 at 8:36 pm
This is an awesome gesture on behalf of Nike. I donate to JimmyV foundation because I ve had family members affected by cancer. Im not on the hyperdunks though
Jan 8, 2009 at 8:55 pm
These shoes are mad fresh but i dont live near a house of hoops. My mom passed away from breast cancer 13 years ago and I really need these hyperdunks. If anyone is picking up a pair and is interested in helping me get a pair please e-mail me at aclark1017@yahoo.com Thanks for the help guys.
Jan 8, 2009 at 9:21 pm

Jan 8, 2009 at 9:27 pm

good cause but really homo
Jan 9, 2009 at 12:45 am
for women, pink is alright!
Jan 9, 2009 at 1:32 am
Chuckindubs - NC State’s Mens program is Adidas, but the Women’s team is still Nike.
I wish I could get my hands on a pair of these for myself, little sister and for the cause.
I’m gonna keep my eyes peeled, but I know my luck is gonna be shot… as usual.

“Real men wear pink, and real men fight cancer. It’s a win-win.”
Very well said!
Jan 9, 2009 at 2:20 am
once again, NIKE has left us (NC) out of da picture. How they gonna sell this without sellin’ them atleast n Raleigh, or Charlotte. I still love da idea. My girl’s grandma just won her battle wit breast cancer, so I’ll support it 100%.
Jan 9, 2009 at 3:17 am
I agree!
That’s why I’m seriously gonna start trying to take the proper steps, in brining a shop/boutique TO NC and the Raleigh-Durham area.
I know a guy who works with Citysole/Kick-R-Us and Extra Butter.
If he moves to NC, as planned, we will make sh!t happen!
Guaranteed!

darneezy; if y0u do it; you’ll get my bread/make it happen. my mom died from that sh-t 12-15-2006; i feel the cause/i’ll give the kicks to my wife though
Jan 9, 2009 at 3:58 am
great for the female ballers
Jan 9, 2009 at 5:44 am
some of you on here sound like real asses! it’s a colorway that promotes the fight against breast cancer! only the ladies b ball teams will wear them, not the men’s nc state team! get it together!
Jan 9, 2009 at 5:47 am

Jan 9, 2009 at 7:46 am

Jan 9, 2009 at 11:28 am
definitely for a good cause - but perhaps doing it with a women’s model would have made more sense.

Jan 25, 2009 at 5:02 pm
