One of Nike's many releases this month is the Hyperdunk 2014 City Collection, which is "made with dynamic Flywire technology for adaptive support and lockdown from end to end. Responsive Lunarlon cushioning delivers impact protection to soften landings," according to its official blurb on the Nike site.
If that description does not excite you just yet, you're probably living under a rock, as these kicks are one of latest shoes to be worn by NBA stars. You better be excited now, as these babies are coming your way Thursday, August 7 at 8 a.m. EDT or 5 p.m. PDT via the official Nike online store.
What makes this edition unique is that fact that it "showcases bright color fades and speckles on the midsoles and uppers" and that "each colorway has a city callout on the tongue, with an abstract geometric interpretation of that city's flag."
If you happen to live in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington DC, consider yourself lucky - these cities are the four that the Hyperdunk 2014s pay tribute to, according to Foot Locker. As you may already know, these four cities are the "meccas of American basketball."
"Each city assumes a different two toned colorway that includes a gradient color change from front to back as well as black speckles all over the Hyperfuse upper and Lunarlon midsole," the site said. "The New York and Chicago models will be released as a high top Hyperdunk 2014 for $140 while DC and LA are both Hyperdunk 2014 Lows for $130."
Additionally, Foot Locker will also be retailing the "City Collection." To check out which branches will carry this model and whether the store will implement a sweepstakes ticket arrangement, click on this launch locator.
If your place isn't any of the four cities, which colorway would you pick for yourself?
The Dark Grey/Dark Grey-Volt model appears to be the most versatile and easy-to-match of the four, thanks to its monochromatic colorway. If you're into low key-looking footwear that would still get admiring stares, the NYC Hyperdunk would be perfect for you.
If you're into color and are not afraid to add brights to your style, the Dark Grey/Hyper Crimson-Volt colorway, which pays homage to Chicago, is a daring choice. These kicks also serve as effortlessly snazzy accents to an otherwise dark-hued outfit.
Pick the Dark Grey/Hyper Punch-Volt colorway LA model if you want more flavor in your style. Pulling off a look with these colorful babies will boost your style credentials, plus the attention of the ladies.
If you're looking for something more middle-of-the-road, the Dark Grey/Hyper Turquoise-Volt DoC pair would be a good choice, as the blue color is just enough to perk up your look without being too loud or somber.
So, which one are you getting?
