Introducing the Nike Hyperdunk 2016


Ever since Nike introduced Flyknit, it was only a matter of time before the brand would go hard with it. Thanks to Kobe Bryant's signature shoe line, we've gotten glimpses of how Flyknit kicks work on the hardwood. But never quite like this.

The Hyperdunk is a staple of the Nike Basketball footwear range. And despite a few clunkers in terms of looks over the years, the line always seems to pack the brand's latest innovations right in a pair of shoes. This year, the Hyperdunk goes the way of the Magista and the Koston 3 by utilizing a full Flyknit sock tuned for stretch, lockdown and breathability, while staple technologies such as Flywire and Zoom Air will keep hoop heads happy. Rounding off the shoe is an advanced herringbone outsole for beastly traction on the court.

If you're not feeling the Flyknit upper, Engineered mesh versions of the Nike Hyperdunk 2016 will be out as well, available globally beginning in July.

Nike Introduces the KD9


Nike recently held an event they called the Innovation Summit, which is pretty much a gathering to show off the coolest shoes and gear the brand has in the works. While many of the things unveiled garnered their share of buzz, few were as talked about as the Nike KD9. Built for the versatile game of Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant, the KD9 is the first shoe in the KD line to incorporate Flyknit construction engineered down to the pixel. Other features include a tapered Zoom Air unit and anatomical flex grooves to heighten natural motion. The game of basketball has changed, and it's time for shoes to change with it.

Watch for the KD9 to hit Nike Basketball retailers on June 20.

Check Out Kevin Durant's Crazy New Shoe


As the NBA season starts to wind down, the grind of the playoffs begins to kick into second gear. With each game bearing more weight, Nike equips their signature stars with gear made to bear the intensity of the post-season. The first shoe to be unveiled is the Nike KD8 Elite. Designed by Leo Chang, it isn't hard to see that the shoe can be pretty bold in its design. With a silhouette that extends way past the shin, the KD8 Elite blurs the lines between basketball shoe, sock and compression tight.

The in-game benefits may be plenty, but really though, good luck putting them on the first time.
