The mens hoops team over at the University of Texas were off to a terrific start to their recent season. They were even ranked number 1 at one point the season. But ever since being dubbed the best team in the nation, nothing has gone right for them. But Nike has not given up on them, and they showed it by given them a Hyperdunk as a Player Exclusive.

The first thing you see is the gradient fade effect, which go’s from orange to white. The toe and midfoot areas feature a design which is meant to pay tribute to the University of Texas. The midsole uses orange, while the outsole comes in white. The schools Longhorn logo is placed on the tongue tag. This is one of three Hyperdunks we have seen that are PEs to some powerhouse schools. Which one do you like best?

Yesterday we saw a Nike Hyperdunk that was a Player Exclusive to the University of Miami. Well here get another Player Exclusive of the Nike Hyperdunk. This one belongs to St. John’s University. The shoe comes in the University’s colors. Patent leather is used on the toe and midfoot. The midsole comes in black, while red is featured on the outsole. Also added to the sneaker is a white Nike Swoosh, which makes the shoe jump at you. The Red Storm’s logo is seen on the tongue, while other school tributes are placed around the shoe. 1870, the founding year of the University, is placed on the inside of the tongue. Im a Miami native, so i can’t go against UM. But let us know which one you like better, UM or St. John’s?

March Madness is here, and that means college basketball all day long! Many bubble teams are hoping for a miracle to get into the Big Dance. Well the University of Miami basketball team is that situation. But the only shot they have is to win the ACC tournament, which is very unlikely. With the not so good season that they are having, Nike is showing them some love. This Nike Hyperdunk is made exclusively for the University of Miami basketball team. The shoe features the University’s colors, which are eye catching. The white midsole give this shoe a nice contrast and changes things up a bit. Check out more pics after the jump.

Nike Hyperdunk Marty McFly - Back to the Future

What’s so special about this Nike Hyperdunk McFly (back to the future) that it cost as much as 599$? Well, the hyperdunks are said to be the next generation in performance basketball shoes. It was first worn in professional basketball (NBA) by my favorite player Kobe Bryant so I guess that says it all. Nike hyperdunks was also worn by the players in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

A few years back too, Kobe even attempted to jump over a 50mph Aston Martin while wearing a Nike Hyperdunks (below). So we never know unless we actually wear one of these and then be the judge.

Every day since the next NBA Champion is crowned, you should expect a sneaker inspired after the Los Angeles Lakers. Most of them will be from Nike, as they are the leaders in Basketball sneakers. This latest Nike Hyperdunk 2010 comes in the Los Angeles Lakers Away team colors. Black is seen throughout the sneaker including the upper, where Black flywire is present. Lakers gold is used on the heel, outsole, and around the ankle windows. Purple is placed on the Nike Swoosh and the outsole accent on the forefoot. These would be nice for a lakers fan who plays ball. Keep it here for updates regarding the release date.

Out of all of the Nike Hyperdunks we have seen in the pasts weeks these would have to be my favorite. Last summer, Nike re-released a Retro version of the stunning Metallic Gold Air Flightposite, one of the boldest looking Nike basketball models of all time. Now the Metallic Gold is making its way onto the Hyperdunk. This pair hosts a metallic gold base, black mid-panel, gold flywire, black tongue, silver midfoot, and black laces. Additional sections of the upper are Black with a Silver midsole section adding a nice bit of contrast.  No release info yet on these but keep a look out for updates.

This hyperdunk is a tribute to the superman of basketball and his hyperlegendary high school. Suitable to the theme, this is a stunning, ostentatious sample of power that quickly trashes everything that has the audacity to challenge its supremacy in the field.

Mighty kicks, sharp leaps, and swift leaps are the lot of the owner of this magical creation from Nike. Like the invincible power of that remarkable genius of basketball, these will dominate the sneaker scene, and rise on the pedestal of maginificence with the umimaginable dazzle witnessed in the pictures.

Who on earth can dare to contest the legendary talents of the master designers? Only the fool, the blind, or the mad. The legend lives on.

The Nike Hyperdunk That Ain’t Right Pack is on sale at the Nike Online Store. It goes for $110. There are three colorways to choose from.

Let’s look at the black/white colorway. The black toe box and shoe lace panel form a continuous segment. The midsole is made like a mudguard. The center of the sole has a light blue shield. The blue accent is found in the collar of the ankle.

The next shoe has a white and black colorway that is reversed from the former discussed above. The toe box is white. The midsection is black. This colorway is a little less striking but it looks traditional with its formal black and white design. There is a photo of the outsole. The message “That ain’t right” is printed on big letters on the outsole and covered by a large plastic piece.

The last Hyperdunk in the Pack has white, red and black in the colorway. The white toe box leads to a black tongue that is laced over by a red shoe lace. The Nike swoosh is red. The other red accents are at the backtab and midsole.

These three shoes are unique in their own right. They belong to a great Pack. (Images)

Nike has collaborated with Kay Yow to design products for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. The new series of Nike Pink Products has the goal of raising money to fight cancer. This pack of pink colored Hyperdunks will be sold at House of Hoops branch store at 3 locations. This edition of Nike Hyperdunks is a very special edition. There is matching Nike gear. All products under the pink project will see their proceeds benefit Kay Yow’s cancer fund. The collection will be released on Feb. 1st, 2009.

Kay Yow, the women’s basketball coach of North Carolina State University, has gone on a medical leave because she has to take care of her health. Yow has breast cancer for the third time.

The pink colored sports shirt, or singlet, has “NC State” to signify Yow’s home state and team. It has her logo on it. The Nike-Kay Yow basketball has a pink Nike swoosh and Kay Yow logo. The positioning of the two logos is neat.

The Nike Hyperdunk is pink with off white or grey colored accents. Kay Yow is honored by having her logo at the tip of the tongue. The pink shoe is pretty and will look good as a casual dress shoe. (Images)

We saw alot of colorways of the Nike Hyperdunk in the summer around the launch and the Olympics, but since then things have slowed down a bit. Now, just in time for the holiday season, Nike Basketball has added some fresh new colorways.

The three here include white/red-black, black/university blue-white and white/navy-ice.

Each shoe features translucent, icy soles that read “That aint’ right” on the bottom. “That ain’t right” is from the Nike advertising campaign where players were dunking over each other. Expect these new colorways of the Nike Hyperdunk to be at your local store in the upcoming weeks. Via Footlocker Unlocked.
