The Nike Hyperdunk, first introduced in 2008 and notably endorsed by Kobe Bryant, gained recognition and popularity in the basketball world. Nike continued to honor the legacy of this iconic sneaker by launching the Hyperdunk 2017 Low 'Manila' in August 2017. Paying tribute to one of the six major cities known for its highly competitive basketball scene, the shoe features a sleek grey suede upper and a distinctive metallic wavy midsole, reminiscent of the Tenement Court Taguig, a renowned basketball court in the Philippines. Completing the design, vibrant orange detailing can be found on the inner lining and heel, adding a touch of cultural significance.
