Nike Hyperize – Takehiko Inoue

The Nike Hyperize has seen plenty play since its initial release. Who knows if it was the White Men Can’t Jump colorways or the Nike “Don’t Criticize, Hyperize” campaign but, regardless, the Hyperize is currently omnipresent on basketball courts. Whether it be PEs in the NBA, Team colorways in college and high school, or GRs on street courts, everybody is Hyperizin’, not criticizin’.

Nike had Takehiko Inoue of Slam Dunk contribute to the Hyperize collection by adding his own flow to the silhouette. The sneaker sports a white and powder blue colorway. White leather frames the flywire paneling inserted into the upper. On top of this leather are Manga illustrations inscribed with 3M.

Unfortunately, this illustrious sneaker is an Asia-exclusive.
