20 Designs That Changed The Game: Nike Air Hyperfuse

The "20 Designs That Changed The Game" series continues by focusing on the Nike Air Hyperfuse. The difficulty with making basketball shoes is combining breathability together with durability, all wrapped together in a lightweight package. And it has to look good. The Hyperfuse technology gave designers a mesh-like material that was still strong enough to hold up to the NBA grind, and the material offered an endless palette to choose from. Almost any color combinations could be whipped up to make a striking shoe; performance+aesthetics is always a recipe for success. [via Nike, Inc.]
