Even though Nike fans have been clamoring for an authentic version of the Nike “McFlys” seen in the movie Back to the Future II for years, Nike has never actually delivered on shoes that fasten themselves. However, these Hyperdunks are the next best thing, as they come in the same colorway as those fabled future-shoes from the movie. Even better is that these particular Hyperdunks are signed by the legendary Kobe Bryant, perhaps the most recognized current member of the famed Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe and his car-jumping, snake pit-leaping antics have already brought quite a bit of attention to the Hyperdunk, and with his signature on this sick colorway of the Hyperdunk, expect the price on these to skyrocket A.S.A.P., in customary eBay fashion. If you love Kobe, Back to the Future, or both, we advise you to get bidding right away, as the cost of these will only go higher and higher. Via eBay.

Nike always loves to celebrate the accomplishments of some of their athletes and this year no one performed better on the NBA court better than Los Angeles Lakers superstar and MVP, Kobe Bryant, although he couldn’t bring that ’ship back to LA he did bring home a highly coveted NBA regular season MVP award; and to celebrate the feat, Nike has come up with an MVP Edition Nike Zoom Kobe III in White, Purple, and Varsity Maize to match the Lakers’ home uniforms. The shoes will come specially packaged in a lasered acryllic case, MVP t-shirt, and are limited to a handful of Asian countries as well as some LA retailers including Proper, who will be releasing them today, Saturday June 28th.
Despite the Lakers’ recent complete and utter trouncing by the Celtics (to the joy of all the Boston residents out there, and the shame of all the Angelinos), there’s still plenty of fire in the team; don’t forget, they DID make it to the playoffs, and have been a dominating force in the NBA for several years. This can be in large part chalked up to the overbearing presence of Kobe Bryant, arguably the most famous Laker in history. For all those who have confidence that the Lakers will indeed take the title next season, led by the indomitable Mr. Bryant, these Zoom Kobe III’s might be just the thing. Commemorating Kobe’s status as the Laker MVP, these PE’s are a great representation of Kobe’s presence as the regular season MVP for the Lakers, as well as a fresh pair of kicks.

Images of Tamika Catchings of the Indiana Fever, the WNBA team, wearing her Kobe 3 PE’s have recently surfaced. Done out in a red, white, and yellow colorway reflecting her team’s colors, these kicks are a great colorway for a very popular performance basketball shoe. Despite the lower profile of the WNBA to the mainstream NBA, these kicks are proof that Nike is still willing to show love to players of all genders. These are for now a player’s exclusive meant only for the player herself, but expect them to somehow eventually pop up on the internet. Via Kenlu.

They were released on Friday, May 23rd, 2008 at the House of Hoops in Harlem NYC in very limited numbers (24 pairs) at the House of Hoops and were sold out immediately, 24 pairs were also made available to members of kb24.com.

Last month it was Kobe Bryant debuting the Hyperdunk in a YouTube video where he jumped over an Aston Martin, now this month it looks like Nike and Kobe got together with the guys on Jackass to film Kobe jumping over a pool of snakes in his new Nike Hyperdunks. It seems like Nike is really getting behind this model with the Flywire innovation that looks to give athletes a lighter yet more stable upper, which in some ways doesn’t seem possible but that probably only means you need to go out and purchase a pair of the Hyperdunks and see for yourself.
With the need for affordable everyday basketball sneakers, for the everyday average baller, Nike has taken the Zoom Kobe III down one notch to create a new Kobe basketball sneaker targeted at teams. These shoes will be a good fit for the average basketball player who’s not as aggressive as Kobe. The Zoom 81 features a visible Zoom Air unit in the heel and styling from the Zoom Kobe III. Otherwise there is not much to remark upon as pertaining to these kicks; they’re simple, traditional basketball shoes. Via Docious at NikeTalk
