The original Nike Hyperdunk launched in 2008, but that hasn’t kept Anderson Varejao from wearing them in 2013. Despite the numerous updates and innovations, the OG Hyperdunks have been a staple in the Brazilian’s work and international competition rotation. Many amateur hoopers and sneaker enthusiasts still swear by this model, and the Cavs pro is no different.
