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.
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.
when is the release date in Aus?
I like this better than the 2011, the swoosh would look better somewhere else and Zoom Air should be way better.
for the people who think the flywire is gonna rip, look how thick the effing cables are, they are like shoe lases on steroids
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
Im loving these. If you ever had a pair of Lunars your defiantly gunna love this for basketball.
reminds me of crazy lights for some reason?
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
I'm loving these shoes!!!! The future is here!!! Thank god!!!! I'm sick of that old ass retro shit!!!
swosh on the toe is no no
i knoww its like they run out of room for a good place to put it
thats the best place to put it!!!
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.
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.
A pair of scissors in some jerks hands and any shoes are fucked your fucking jagoff
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
bro, i think that scissors could probably cut through your lebrons, just sayin
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.
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.
word they are showing the Technology but the only problem is the wait of the shoe will definately be different from the hyperdunk 2011 i think IMO this shoe will be better but this Color Way is HELLA OFF and to the guy below me flywire keeps your foot in place while wearing unlike other basketball shoes
so what does it do? nothing.... looks like aesthetics to me
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
trickle down
Wait...so no more Zoom Air...? Garbage.
I'm sure its an excellent basketball shoe but not for casual use... at least as it is tied now.
agreed
what happens if the flywire breaks/gets broken?
flywire doesnt break homie...
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.
what the fack "FLAWIER" means brah me talking about FLYWIRE brah
You can't really treat flawier as laces as you brush some parts of the flywire at the court.
treat them flywires as if there were laces and youll be fine brah
Wow, that candy apple green lunarlon is dope.
aesthetically speaking...i really love certain parts of the shoe, but not as much as the parts i don't like...
thanks for the insight, really helpful
assy
flywire on the outside, that shit cray
