As if we needed another reason to hate on the Duke Blue Devils, Duke guard Tyler Thornton gave us an inside look at the sneaker rotation currently sported by the ACC powerhouse in this great video which features a sea of Royal Blue and White LeBrons, KDs, and Kobes. Thornton himself is rocking some Military IVs, but later shows us his rotation of the Air Foamposite One “Royal”, Nike Huarache Free Bball 2012, and Nike Air Flight One, but that might be bested by Senior Forward Mason Plumlee’s impressive stash of the Air Zoom Generation, Zoom 2k3, and Air Zoom GP II – three great early-2000′s models. On top of that, we’re given a rare look at the Duke sneaker storage closet, which Thornton poignantly describes as a “sneakerhead’s dream”. Check out some of the highlights as well as the full video below!

While sneaker collaborations have been a “thing” at Nike for several years (although there’s been a considerable decrease over the last couple of years), it’s rare for Nike Basketball to go through with a project like this. Immediately, the only names that come to mind is Stash on the Nike Air Zoom Kobe 1, Dave White on the Jordan Melo M9, and if we’re stretching our bounds a bit, Freegums’ print on the LeBron 9. Cali-based UNDFTD joins that rare group with the Hyperdunk 2012 as part of the ‘Bring Back’ Pack, which bridges the original Dunk with the most advanced version of its kind, using an identical color-palette as the original UNDFTD x Dunk High from the early 2000s. Select Nike Sportswear and Basketball retailers like SNS in Europe will have these in stock on Saturday, February 9th, so check out this detailed gallery below and let us know if these Hyperdunks are in floating in your radar.

Sneaker News brought you first looks at all the sick PEs that were spotted during yesterday’s exciting games, like Rondo’s Hyperposites, Ray’s Jays, and Russell’s XX8s. We’re still not done with Christmas Day heat, because this Lunar Hyperdunk deserves some extra notice as well! Several players around the league like Pau Gasol and Carlos Boozer we seen wearing this Silver/Red/Mint colorway of the Hyperdunk, which featured a logo of a gingerbread man above the Swoosh on the tongue. We’ve got a few angles for you to admire after the jump so take a look and let us know what you think!

One of the things that sneaker manufacturers and particularly Nike are doing better now than at any point in history is combining monochromatic variations on a color family to add depth to what were historically more boring or alternatively higher-contrast designs. Take for example this latest Nike Hyperdunk+ combining Team Red and Bright Crimson plus one more lighter shade on the outsole and ‘top’ Flywire cables. This three-pronged attack in the -600 range makes for a more dynamic look than you see with the old standard for team-oriented colorways, and you can get in on the Metallic Silver-Swooshed goodness right now at NikeStore.

Los Angeles Clippers high flyer Blake Griffin had been synonymous with the Hyperdunk franchise until this season, when he joined the Jumpman and started rocking Jordan Brand’s Super.Fly performance baller. So while we might not see the dynamic young power forward rocking them on court any time soon, it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine this new Nike Hyperdunk+ PE at Staples Center, particularly with Lob City’s soft blue-accented throwback unis. Let us know what you think about the future of BG32 player exclusives after you’ve seen more of what could have been and grab this pair today from NikeStore.

Duke/Kentucky isn’t a rivalry in the true sense of the word given how rarely these two teams actually play one another, but with two of the top college basketball programs ever connected by Christian Laetner’s legendary turnaround J, there’s always a bit of extra energy in the air when the Blue Devils and Wildcats go at it. They clashed for the first time in eleven years on Tuesday night in Atlanta, and while UK rocked the home whites at the Georgia Dome, either team could make use of the sneaker pictured above this season. This new Nike Hyperfunk in black and Game Royal has those powerhouses’ away looks on lock and are basically an inverted and darker answer to the white-accented pair Kentucky star freshman Nerlens Noel wore in the Champions Classic opener. Have a closer look so you can compare them to earlier Lunar Hyperdunk releases and grab yours today from NikeStore.

The original Nike Mag designed was in fact a direct inspiration to Eric Avar’s Nike Hyperdunk of 2008, and sneaker customizer Brian Villanueva actually went about a Mag-inspired Hyperdunk Custom before. Upon the 2011 release of the Mag, Villanueva decided to revisit his original project and powering it up to be on par with the original; this Nike HyperMag custom features several mechanical details like a rechargeable lithium ion battery, LED lighs on the heel, electroluminscent tech on the tongue and outsole, and a built in charger that can be plugged into an outlet or a USB. Brian’s amazed us before with before with his Lunar prototype before, and this custom is certainly no sleeper as he brings the Hyperdunk to the future with this amazing work. A gallery of images awaits you below so take a look and let us know if this is the direction you’d like customs sneakers to go in.
