The oft-underrated Nike Hyperfuse series has a new silhouette coming this year called the Zoom Hyperfuse 2013. As seen below, the 2013 version of the Hyperfuse basketball sneaker has the closest design to the original pair from 2008/2009 unlike the last two versions.
In 2008 when Nike introduced the original Hyperfuse sneaker, the flagship players were Russell Westbrook & Rajon Rondo which worked out perfectly having the Hyperfuse on two elite Point Guards in the NBA.
For those extra concerned with sole durability and how long the thread pattern will last should opt into getting one of the XDR versions which features a sole made from a different compound designed with outdoor play in mind. This is one of the few Nike Basketball releases to have a painted XDR sole; it is common to see it in grey. The four colorways of the Nike Hyperfuse 2013 XDR are at the bottom of this post.
There is a good chance that the XDR versions of the 2013 Hyperfuse will be a Asia-only release.
The source had listed a 2014 release date, but that doesn’t make much sense to me with these labeled as the 2013 edition of the Hyperfuse. When I have this cleared up, I’ll bring along that info along with new pictures.
