The original 2008 Nike Hyperdunk has always been a crowd favorite in terms of design, so it makes sense that Nike is continuing to release new colorways on both the Retro and Lux models.
The Lux model is a lifestyle model that uses premium materials and adds other design elements to the original Hyperdunk body. If you’ve seen the Lux in the past and have been waiting for a fresh new colorway to come out before you pick up a pair, you’ll be happy to hear that a new Royal Blue version will be releasing in the near future.
In the new Royal Blue colorway, the Hyperdunk Lux features an almost entirely blue upper with a completely white midsole and outsole. Similar to the other Lux colorways, the upper is made up of a combination of woven panels and leather, with some dynamic Flywire thrown on top just for looks. The cushioning on this shoe is the same as that of the retro model (so don’t expect the same feel as the original Hyperdunk).
While the Royal Blue colorway of the Hyperdunk Lux doesn’t drop until later this month, other colorways in both Black and White are available now here for $170 USD.
