From the results we’ve enjoyed since the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse debuted on Rajon Rondo’s feet last postseason, we’d have to say that the time Shane Kohatsu spent in the Nike Innovation Kitchen was well worth it.

Shaffer describes how the Hyperfuse’s unique translucent layers allows a huge variety of gradients and requires a different mindset when planning a colorway.
