Originally released in 2008 as part of Nike Basketball’s Beijing Olympics Innovation program, the Nike Hyperdunk began a major technological shift at Nike by introducing Flywire and Lunarlon cushioning. Eight years later, the Nike Hyperdunk 08 is releasing just in time for this year’s Olympics in Rio.

It’s hard to believe that the Nike Hyperdunk series has been a featured basketball model for the Swoosh for over eight years now. The original Nike Hyperdunk first released in 2008 as the featured model in Nike Basketball’s Beijing Olympics Innovation program and first introduced the world to Flywire and Lunarlon cushioning – both staples of Nike’s design even today. Now with the Rio Olympics on the horizon, Nike is releasing retros of the original Hyperdunk 2008 in a number of monochromatic shades including this “Triple Black” look. If you’re a fan of the model, know that you can grab this pair today from select retailers like Villa. Check out a detailed look after the break and be sure to check out the fresh Nike Hyperdunk Lux slated for a release later this summer.

For the last couple of years in the sneaker world, it seems like every model releases in some sort of tonal colorway. From the oldest retro runner to the highest performance hoops shoe, the monochromatic look is everywhere. An example of the latter is seen here today, with this new all-black colorway of the Nike LeBron 13 Low. Almost going all the way to the trendy “Triple Black” treatment, the predominantly black shoe that even features the Air Max unit in the heel blacked out does receive a little contrast with the metallic silver toe Swooshes and LeBron logos on each shoe. The almost triple black LeBrons are arriving at select Nike Basketball retailers now.

I?m a fan of this model and it looks really great in this colorway. I?m biased towards the build as well. This would be a great purchase, although I wish the price is lower.

We’ve got a series. This NBA Finals has been a strange one, with every game decided by double digits. And while it hasn’t always been the most entertaining series, we finally got a wire-to-wire piece of entertainment in Game 5. A lot of that had to do with the resurgence of Kyrie Irving. Kyrie dropped 41 points while missing only 7 shot attempts the entire game. If you haven’t seen the highlights yet, do yourself a favor and head over to Youtube after checking out some on-feet looks at what no.2 was wearing during his historic performance. Kyrie chose to lace up the Kyrie 2 “Gradient” to match the Cavs interesting selection of those black sleeved alternate jerseys. He’s still writing ‘Whiplash’ on the midsole inspired by the determination found in the Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons Oscar-nominated film. Who do you think takes Game 6 in Cleveland? Check out more photos below and stay tuned for more NBA Feet updates right here on Sneaker News.

I’m a fan of the simple design. These colorways are solid as well and should garner a lot of attention. I would consider purchasing if the price is right.

Contrasting accents of black are located on the eye stays, tongue, inner lining and sole unit to cap off the simplistic, yet bold two-tone color scheme.

This is one of my favorite bball silhouettes aside from Jordans. I?m a fan of the colorway, but it?s too bright for my taste. I?m sure these will garner a lot of attention ? on purpose or not.

Another preview of the upcoming Nike LeBron 13 Low Olympic is provided, as this particular iteration of the basketball sneaker honors the forthcoming Summer 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this August.

Styled in a USA-inspired palette, pristine white dominates its breathable mesh upper, while pops of red are evident on the large Swoosh branding, followed by navy for its inner lining to encapsulate the respective theme. To further pronounce its profile, metallic gold accents is prominent on the ?LJ? logo on the tongue and heel unit, which essentially reflects Team USA?s goals of another first place finish.

A few Nike retailers are already starting to stock the model, but stay tuned for an official release date very soon.

I generally like the silhouette and the theme on this pair looks really solid. I?m just biased but I like how the upper is mostly white.

Kevin Durant showcased this Nike KD 9 Pre-Heat during Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors, and now, the successor to the KD 8 will be releasing at retailers very soon.

Overall, the defining hue of cool grey essentially covers its entire intricately knitted upper. Metallic silver Swooshes located on the side panels further pronounce its monochromatic aesthetic, while subtle accents of pink located on the pull tabs and translucent outsole provide a hint of vibrancy.

Retailing for $150, you can purchase a pair at Nike retailers on June 20th.

Compared to the 8s, this isn?t that bad. I like the new makeup of the upper. It looks really clean in this colorway as well.

I like the silhouette in a low-top and in this colorway, it’s pretty solid and versatile. This pair looks great and perfect for everyday wear.

Are you a fan of the Nike Flyknit Racer? If you answered yes then we’re going to assume that you’ve worn a pair before. The upper of the Flyknit Racer is one of the best out there when it comes to a Flyknit sneaker, but with a name like Racer you’d expect the sole to be ideal to use for running.

Unfortunately that’s not exactly the case. While the shoe is comfortable, it’s just not comfortable for everyone to run in. Enter the Nike Zoom Flyknit Streak. The upper on this new Flyknit runner looks somewhat similar to the Flyknit Racer, but features a new Zoom sole which makes it ideal for use running and working out.

Check out two upcoming colorways of the Nike Zoom Flyknit Streak and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for a release date.

Author’s Take

Both the upper and sole of the Flyknit Racer are what made the shoe look so cool and sleek in my opinion. It’s always cool to see new Flyknit sneakers, but I can’t say I’m a huge fan of this one.
