Earlier today Sneaker News gave you a look at the Nike Lunar Hyperdunk 2012 in the Team USAB colorway of White, Obsidian, and Red. In accordance with this mass unveiling of upcoming sneakers, Nike Basketball has officially unveiled the Nike Lunar Hyperdunk 2012, accentuating the space-age design with this futuristic colorway of White and Neon Green tones. Since 2008, the Nike Hyperdunk has elevated performance basketball to new heights using Flywire as the pillar of the lightweight nature of the shoe, but the Lunar Hyperdunk 2012 expands on the Hyperdunk mantra by including an all-new basketball-specific LunarLon outsole with a new dynamic Flywire unit that stretches at key stress points and rests where the foot rests. Stabilizing the foot is the glass-reinforced composite mid-foot shank, while elevated forefoot outriggers provides the foot with security during hard cuts. Check out the detailed angles of the Nike Lunar Hyperdunk 2012 below and stick with Sneaker News for more on the Nike LunarLon Collection.

aesthetically speaking…i really love certain parts of the shoe, but not as much as the parts i don't like…
February 21st, 2012 at 4:02 pm
Wow, that candy apple green lunarlon is dope.
February 21st, 2012 at 4:15 pm
what happens if the flywire breaks/gets broken?
February 21st, 2012 at 4:15 pm
I'm sure its an excellent basketball shoe but not for casual use… at least as it is tied now.
February 21st, 2012 at 4:25 pm
flywire doesnt break homie…
February 21st, 2012 at 4:30 pm
These shoes will sell because you can kick somebody's ass and floss their teeth at the same time. Wack shoe. I can see what they're doin with this. Nike's getting cheap on us…Well, cheapER than they already were.
February 21st, 2012 at 4:34 pm
agreed
February 21st, 2012 at 4:46 pm
thanks for the insight, really helpful
February 21st, 2012 at 4:48 pm
Wait…so no more Zoom Air…? Garbage.
February 21st, 2012 at 4:49 pm
OOOOOOO okay this explains that LeBron 10 or 9 P.S sample we seen a while back with the exposed Flywire and the full length Zoom Bag

Lunarlon is a retarded name for anything. WTF is lon? Plus, it's for runners, not ball shoes. These need to come out in Zoom, even Max air would be a thousand times better. And the exposed flywire… a pair of scissors in some jerks hands, and these shoes are quickly fucked.

swosh on the toe is no no
February 21st, 2012 at 6:01 pm
I'm loving these shoes!!!! The future is here!!! Thank god!!!! I'm sick of that old ass retro shit!!!
February 21st, 2012 at 7:27 pm
A pair of scissors in some jerks hands and any shoes are fucked your fucking jagoff
February 21st, 2012 at 7:32 pm
hope tht flywire holds esp. outdoors but these are nice i wud def cop and a few cws mite just make me wear em casually
February 21st, 2012 at 7:47 pm
There was Lunarlon in the Kobe IV homie. It takes the impact and spreads it out over the whole area, rather than just the point of impact.
February 21st, 2012 at 7:48 pm
Not true. Though it is designed to hold over 2000 pounds of force, it can break as I ripped my original Hyperdunks while hooping in them.
February 21st, 2012 at 7:49 pm
How are they getting cheap by allowing you to see the technology? Everyone always asks, "What does this shoe do for me? and Where can I see it?" Right in front of your eyes is the answer.
February 21st, 2012 at 9:21 pm
i knoww its like they run out of room for a good place to put it
February 21st, 2012 at 9:37 pm
treat them flywires as if there were laces and youll be fine brah
February 21st, 2012 at 11:05 pm
so what does it do? nothing…. looks like aesthetics to me
February 21st, 2012 at 11:05 pm
trickle down
February 21st, 2012 at 11:06 pm
thats the best place to put it!!!
February 22nd, 2012 at 6:11 am
reminds me of crazy lights for some reason?
February 22nd, 2012 at 7:54 am
You can't really treat flawier as laces as you brush some parts of the flywire at the court.
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:58 pm
that's not true at all, i don't know what shit-ass shoes you wear… and also, i said quickly. some plastic scissors wont get through my lebron vii's very easily. jerkoff
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Im loving these. If you ever had a pair of Lunars your defiantly gunna love this for basketball.
February 23rd, 2012 at 10:00 pm
what the fack "FLAWIER" means brah me talking about FLYWIRE brah
February 26th, 2012 at 2:12 am
I still truly don't know what any of the materials are meant for on most basketball shoes, I always thought they put extra materials to make it seem better. # water tower swag gang # findlay prep
February 26th, 2012 at 11:28 pm
for the people who think the flywire is gonna rip, look how thick the effing cables are, they are like shoe lases on steroids
February 26th, 2012 at 11:31 pm
bro, i think that scissors could probably cut through your lebrons, just sayin
March 19th, 2012 at 9:35 am
I like this better than the 2011, the swoosh would look better somewhere else and Zoom Air should be way better.
April 10th, 2012 at 1:01 am
when is the release date in Aus?
May 8th, 2012 at 8:17 pm
The design look really thrown together at the last minute. Lunarlon is great to have in the hyper dunks. Will definitely try these on. Nike is going to push these hard.
