So what’s a sneaker brand doing with a popular car manufacturer? We are talking about the Nike Hyperdunk – Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin DB9 sneaker, which seems to be an unlikely marriage.

The Nike Hyperdunk – Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin DB9 sneaker should not come as a surprise because the concept was first introduced about two years ago when a video showing Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers jumping over an Aston Martin vehicle became a hit over the Net.

This same video inspired Nike into creating 500 pairs of the Nike Hyperdunk – Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin DB9 sneaker. The sneaker dazzles, thanks to the toe and the midfoot which are made of reflective silver leather. The side panels feature the flywire technology in dark grey.

The Nike Hyperdunk – Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin DB9 sneaker comes with a red inner lining, What’s more important for basketball fans though is Kobe’s signature on the inside of the tongue. The Hyperdunk is one of the most popular basketball sneakers around and the Nike Hyperdunk – Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin DB9 sneaker is expected to make the design a byword among sneaker lovers.
