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.
