The Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2012 was one of last year's most popular models, hands down. It was selected by Sneaker Report as one of The 25 Best Basketball Releases of 2012 and was a go-to for players of all levels. Originally introduced in 2010, the cutting edge Hyperfuse construction quite literally changed the way people looked at basketball sneakers. But importantly, Hyperfuse changed the way sneakers felt, allowing for a lighter, more breathable upper that also improves upon durability.

So, how do you make it even better? Leave it to Nike Basketball, they'll find a way. Today brings forward the first catalog shot of this season's Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2013. One of the first things you'll notice about the updated Hyperfuse is its aggressive asthetics, from its jagged midsole, to the patterned heel collar and angled heeltab. Most importantly, it looks like the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2013 will be sticking with the same tech that's worked for the line in the past. A full Hyperfuse upper is used, as is Zoom Air cushioning.

Expect the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2013 to become a mainstay on the hardwood this season and stick with Sneaker Report for updates including release date information.
