LeBron James to Wear Nike Hypedunk 2012 in London Olympics

Earlier today Nike has announced that “LeBron James wil be rocking the new Nike Hyperdunk this summer”. It will be the first time for King James to wear a non-signature shoe during his professional career as a basketball player. The Hyperdunk 2012 is a part of the Nike Lunarlon Collection. An innovative combination of advanced NIKE Flywire technology and a basketball-specific NIKE Lunarlon cushioning system. Other stars of the USA Basketball team, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant, will wear their signature shoes – Nike Zoom Kobe VII and Nike Zoom KD IV, respectively. Hopefully this will make more sense in the upcoming weeks.

  • I am really disappointed. I was excepting a kind of lebron 9 USA.. And I don't like the new hyperdunk 2012. Let's see what Kobe VII and KD IV will give.

  • I bet he won't. His LeBron 9 P.S. Elites (Kaczala link) are not ready yet and since they will have the same skeleton flywire or whatever he took pictures in these...

  • I would like too see the current lerbon 9 on his feet i don't want him too rock the soldiers or any low's of the 9 but how cool would the regular 9's look in these colors im thinking like the freegums but instead of the black just picture this blue and some red laces 

  • and this shoe sucks but maybe nike will use this technology  on the next lebron shoe

  • Thats funny cause the PS Elite come in a USA colorway. I think he'll end up in his own sig. Well at least in the Gold Medal game wink wink

  • Considering Soldiers aren't anymore his sig shoes, well of course after Soldier 3 which is the last the LeBron wore. I think LeBron and company in nike kinda make it more secret just what like he did earlier during some early media photoshoots in the past seasons, and when he was introduced in miami with bosh where he opt out to a different shoe instead of his latest signature which he always debut at the first game of the season. Well let's hope LeBron has something special in store for us. This is just my opinion, those shoes weren't enough to suppress the beating of the LeBron in the game compared to the LeBron sigs. I hope LeBron wear a special colorway of a PS 9. And of course when they reach the gold medal game he might have worn a LeBron 10 (Hope so) just like what he did in 2008 where he debut LeBron 6 UWR after Soldier 2 UWR and Olympics cw.

  • i find it nice. let's just wait for the result of the game. i believe that LBJ would perform his usual self even if he is wearing a pair of slippers.:)

  • Look at lebrons facial hair. He's a a full beard all season long. Did anyone else catch that? Are these pics recent?
