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.
