A crisp white base equips the mesh uppers while a bright yellow hue hits the eyestays, interiors and Swoosh found on the insert. Dark blue accents round out the design by lining the ankle, Hyperdunk tongue pull tab and lateral Swoosh. A speckled midsole sits atop an icy rubber outsole to round out the look.Look out for the Nike Hyperdunk X “Nikola Jokic” to release via select retailers and Nike’s website in the coming weeks.In case you missed it, the Air Jordan 1 Mid received a fall-friendly “Tartan” makeover.
