Another South Beach sneaker by Nike?
Not quite but the latest sneaker in the Zoom Hyperfuse series could easily be given the ‘South Beach’ label due to the resemblence it has with the LeBron 8 (or Air Max 95 depending who you ask) that made the blue-and-pink colorway popular. On this early sample we see that grey mesh is used and fused with a blue skin and an pink skin ontop of that for the branding. The wooden imagery seen on other Nike basketball sneakers has carried over onto this sneaker as well and runs even through the upper.
The Hyperfuse series is one of my favorites from Nike ever since its inception in 2010 and has had its technology branch off into other basketball lines from the Swoosh. Expect to see this model debut in team-specific colors during the NBA Playoffs on the feet of flagship Hyperfuse players Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook.
