One of Nike Hyperdunk commercials previously done by Kobe Bryant was him jumping over an Aston Martin. That fantastic video drew a connection between car enthusiasts and sneakerheads but most especially it created a great business relationship between Nike and Aston Martin. Through this, a new and revolutionized Nike Hyperdunk was created.
With the help of Aston Martin crew together with Kobe Bryant, the Hyperdunk was reborn with the supercar details. It starts from a Chrome-like metallic Silver finish toe, ankle panel, lace section, heel cap, Swoosh, and midsole followed by a Gunmetal Flywire panel. The Aston Martin interior trim inspired the shoe’s inner liner with a smooth Red leather surface. On the tongue is a round piece of carbon fiber with Kobe’s name, Aston Martin logo with a sill plate-like in the middle, and a Swoosh. At the back of the tongue is Kobe’s signature on a Red leather tag.
This Hyperdunk special edition resembles a sophisticated car’s attributes in a muscled basketball sneaker. It is Aston Martin’s one way of saying they can design anything beyond their expertise.
