The Nike Hyper Basketball lineage has branched out quite rapidly since the original Nike Hyperdunk. Followed by the Hyperize, the full-length Air Max versions of the Hyperdunk and Hyperize, and last year’s Hyperfuse, Nike Hyper is the future of Swoosh Basketball – and in 2012 the catalog is about to expand even more. Here’s a sample pair of the upcoming Nike Zoom Hyperforce in an orange/grey colorway; it features the featherweight Hyperfuse material on the upper with a solid rubber outsole and a wood-grain detailing on the midsole, and the tongue and heel display ample perforations for breathability and style function. Another interesting detail is the construction of the lacing harness, which features a zig-zag like pattern that should allow for maximal flexion at the midfoot. These are due out for a Spring 2012 release, so check out the extra images of this sample below and pick up this upcoming model months in advance by hitting up the auction from youbetshop on eBay.
