House of Hoops LA: Kobe Inspired Hyperdunk Pack
Posted by: SoleCollector
October 8th, 2008
The House of Hoops in Los Angeles is scheduled to open this Thursday, October 9th, at the Beverly Center, and conveniently there will be four pairs of Nike Hyperdunks launching soon, all including themes relevant to Kobe Bryant’s life. Kobe pays tribute to his Philadelphia-area high school, the Lower Merion Aces, as well as his favorite soccer player, Ronaldinho, and the country where he spent seven years growing up in, Italy. And sorry Raptor fans, but there will also be a special Hyperdunk to commemorate Bryant’s 81 point game against Toronto, nicknamed the ‘Making History’ Hyperdunk. (Psst…Don’t tell anyone Wilt hit for 100) Each shoe includes added textures and treatments like speckled or clear outsoles, as well as added touches on the tongue like the Lower Merion Aces logo. Each is available in limited quantities of course, so arrive early for Thursday’s opening.
