Nike is leading the push for basketball for the future, with the Nike Lunar Hyperdunk being the flagship model to pave the way for new-age design and concepts. A basketball-specific Lunar-built outsole, thick Flywire cables exposed on the upper, and a daunting Swoosh placement on the forefoot summarizes the next Hyperdunk of the 21st-Century born species, and it certainly is beefed up from the last 2011 model, isn’t it? Today, we bring you a look at some upcoming colorways, like these three nation-specific joints as well as eight team-based finishes that should arrive in the Fall 2012 season. Check ‘em all out below and let us know which of the grouping you see below catches your eye! Photos: bostonmarc on NT/homestead

Nike continues to bring forth Gold Medal-worthy efforts during the Olympic years, this latest revelation another evolution of the groundbreaking design that took Beijing by storm four years earlier. The Nike Lunar Hyperdunk 2012 represents a huge leap forward and has the jaw-dropping aesthetics to match, but it’s also clear evidence of how much has been right with this series from the start. The pair pictured below beautifully accents its new dynamic Flywire by criss-crossing strands of neon green and yellow on the side panels, colors that again come into play on the glass-reinforced LunarLon-cushioned sole. Add in Nike+ technology for measuring your workouts and progress, and we’re looking at a new standard in the total package one expects from a basketball sneaker: beyond just performance and good looks, and toward an integrated experience that can grow your game.

2012 is about making it “count”, getting your rear into gear and itemizing every single movement of your body into athletic motion and putting it toward the greater goal of improving your overall self. The Nike+ program began by integrating a data-recording system for running, counting steps and heart rates for the serious runner, but for the serious basketball player, Nike+ now introduces a new technology to zero in on performance and movements specific to the sport by monitoring not only speed, but also vertical elevation and overall intensity of a workout through integrated technology at various data-gathering centers on the sole. Nike+ Training introduces a hardcore workout for the athlete with purpose; with specific programs consisting of a series of short, sharp workouts designed for maximum fitness, speed and strength, each modeled workout is demonstrated on-screen to provide guidance and motivation – like a futuristic virtual personal trainer. The results from each day’s workout are then delivered right to your phone where you can keep track of your progress and even share and compare your data with friends and others via social media.
Nike+ Training will be introduced by Mark Parker with some of the world’s premier athletes who have succeeded at the highest levels of their sports like all-world boxer Manny Pacquiao, Superbowl Champion Victor Cruz, and world-class sprinter Allyson Felix. The new Nike+ technology was summed up best by LeBron James, who will wear the shoe this summer in the Olympic Games: “Giving every player access to this level of information will have a huge impact on the way players train and play the game.” There’s nothing like a little motivation through self-improvement to take your game to the next level, so being able to gauge your daily output in tangible numbers provides a revolutionary innovation in the world of sports training that’s sure to pay dividends for those who take advantage. The new Nike+ technology will be featured in the entire Nike LunarLon+ Collection, which includes the Nike Hyperdunk+, the Lunar Hyper Workout+ and Lunar TR1+, all of which will release on June 29th. Stay tuned for an event recap of the unveiling of the new Nike+ technology and let us know your thoughts on this new state-of-the-art advancement!

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.

Four years ago, Nike unveiled a collection of gear for the Beijing Olympic Games that included the introduction of what’s become the Basketball division’s most successful non-signature release. We’re only six months away from the next Olympiad, so it’s time to start ramping up in a big way, which means revealing the next chapter in this saga of modern engineering triumphing over the forces of physics. The Nike Hyperdunk 2012 (also known as the Nike Lunar Hyperdunk 2012) will make a big splash at the London Summer Olympics, this pair revealing a Lunarlon foam cushioning system and the same kind of exteriorized Flywire that typified the mysterious LeBron James’ sample that made some waves when it popped up a few months back. It looks like LeBron and some other USAB stars may be moving over to this model this summer for Olympic play, a passing of the torch from Kobe Bryant who spearheaded the OG Hyperdunk’s initial marketing campaign; which other Nike athletes will be wearing this look in London? Click through to see more angles of this intriguing new design and stick with Sneaker News for more on the Nike Hyperdunk 2012 and other upcoming USAB footwear.
