| Kobe Bryant Shoes for the Olympics: Nike Hyperdunk
Nike designed the "lightest and strongest basketball shoe ever" for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. These are not exactly Bryant's new signature shoes, but Nike is using Kobe as the main face to promote the sneakers that will be worn by him and many olympic stars like Manu Ginobili (Argentina) and Dirk Nowitzki (Germany) among others. The shoes will feature colorways and characters to represent each player and National Team.
The Nike Hyperdunks are available at eBay...
On April 7, 2008 Nike and Kobe Bryant launched the Nike Hyperdunk, presenting it as Nike’s lightest and strongest basketball shoe ever and one of the many superior, lightweight performance product innovations the company unveiled to support athletes from over 100 countries who will compete for gold in 32 sports in Beijing 2008.
The Hyperdunk shoes, that introduce two technology innovations by Nike (Flywire and Lunarlite foam) were showcased by Kobe for the first time in a Lakers vs Clippers game on April but what amazed everybody was a couple of videos officially posted on Youtube with Kobe jumping over a full-speed Aston Martin with his Hyperdunks on and later one with him jumping over a pool full of snakes.
