Nike’s long time partner in advertising and media, W+K, has just helped the Swoosh come up with a comical commercial about the Nike Hyperdunk. With all of the buzz and marketing support behind the Hyperdunk already this commercial will only add fuel to the fire as the Hyperdunk’s gear up for an official release in the upcoming months. After watching the commercial you may begin to reminisce of when Nike used to have some of the best basketball commercials such as the Fun Police, Camp Flight & Camp Force, and the all time classic Lil’ Penny commercials.

In addition to the USA “United We Rise” PE’s and Pau Gasol PE’s we just showed you, Nike has also debuted the Puerto Rico Hyperdunk PE that features a patent leather toe area in the Puerto Rican Blue. The tongue of this shoe also has some direct links to the PR with an actual Puerto Rican flag sewn onto it and “Puerto Rico” in script sewn on the inside of the shoes. A nice clean colorway that definitely makes a statement as we see this shoe on the feet of various Puerto Rican national team members. You can check these out at The Commitment.

At a recent exhibition put on by Nike Basketball known as “The Commitment,” a number of new PE’s for the United States Olympic team were unveiled. With a new “United We Rise” pattern and laser-etched logo decorating these sick kicks, they definitely make quite the visual impact. Among them were new variations on the LeBron Zoom Soldier II, the infamous Hyperdunk, and the Air Force 25. The pattern covering each pair of shoes consists of smaller images relating back to the players on the Olympic team, and is done in a reflective, laser-etched style. With these technologically advanced, stylistically sound shoes on their feet, the United States Olympic Basketball team is quite well equipped to take home the gold this year! A very limited number of these PE’s will drop at House of Hoops in late July; if you want to see them in person, feel free to drop by the exhibition in New York City if you’re in the area.
