The “Fireberry” and “Atomic Green” Nike Air Max Hyperposites debuted in stores today; however, the “Camo” Hyperposite, which surfaced at the top of the week, garnered more interest than any Hyperosite we’ve come across. Camouflage has been a part of countless trends over the years, covering shorts, pants, hats, and most of all, basketball sneakers. To coincide with the “Camo” Hyperposite’s surfacing, we have compiled an awesome list of limited edition camo-printed basketball shoes. Were you able to get your hands on any of these?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Hyperposite<\/strong> has been causing quite a buzz with its first few colorways that released today. Now, with a camouflage makeup recently unveiled, the ruling has been made and it seems as if these will be highly sought after when they release later this year. While the most popular AZG may be the ?Wheat?<\/a> pair, this unreleased Air Zoom Generation ?Camo?<\/strong> sample gives the previously mentioned “Wheat” pair a run for its money. Dressed in a desert camo color scheme, this sample never made it to shelves. Would you cop it if it did? The Nike Zoom Kobe VI<\/strong> has given us timeless colorways, such as the Glass Blue<\/a> and Orange County<\/a> schemes. The three ?Camo? makeups stood out as well – one in a black\/royal, another in grey\/concord and the other in an UNDFTD-esque green and orange.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Exclusive only to Sole Bar in Hollywood California, this Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier<\/strong> collab has more to it than your everyday camouflage essence. Its release celebrated the grand opening of the aforementioned boutique and featured the ?Sole? branding on the strap of the sneaker.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Capitalizing on the ?Camo? trend, Nike<\/strong> released four makeups of one of its newer basketball models, the Lunar Hypergamer<\/strong>, last season. The predominately green-colored pair surfaced in our Kicks On Court<\/em> column a couple of times.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Release a couple of months ago, the Adidas Crazy 8 ?Camo?<\/strong> breaks out Kobe Bryant?s first ever signature sneaker in a forest green and black makeup. Did you purchase or pass on this sneaker? Not much has been seen or heard from the Nike Huarache 2k4 ?Camo?<\/strong> since its initial release back in 2004. With the reemergence of the Huarache 2k4 this year, would you like to see Nike retro this snakeskin blend in the fall?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Part of an exclusive giveaway from Nike, this Zoom Soldier II ?Camo?<\/strong> received plenty of praise. Along with the praise and the exclusivity of the sneaker, this shoe is one of the rarest Soldiers in LeBron’s line.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Nike Hyperdunk 2011 ?Carrier Classic?<\/strong> was made in the East Lansing school colors to commemorate the first ever Carrier Classic, an outdoor-played college basketball game between the Spartans of Michigan State and the UNC Tar Heels to tip-off the 2011-2012 NCAA season. The Air Jordan 22<\/strong> drew inspiration from the military fighter jet, the F-18; so, it is no surprise that there is a camouflage hint on the heel of the renowned basketball sneaker.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This camo rendition of the Nike Zoom Soldier III<\/strong> is one of the more unique sneakers on this list. Adding to the dark green base, the camouflage accents are on the sole of the performance shoe instead of the upper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Under Amour<\/strong> may be new to the basketball performance sneaker game, but they took the first opportunity to board the camo express on Brandon Jennings’ second signature. The Baltimore-based company used a different form of camo on this shoe; this Bloodline uses a camouflage print similar to the ones hunters wear.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unveiled a couple of weeks ago, the adidas Crazy Light 2 ?Camo? <\/strong>sample sports an all-camo upper design painted in neon green. We?re guessing opposites attract for this eye-appealing sneaker; there’s no blending in with neon green on your feet. With the revival of the Answer IV<\/strong> coming soon, these camo edition sneakers would certainly be a hit with today?s crowd. Would you like to see these release, along with the original colorways this November?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now you see them, now you don’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":233400,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[618],"tags":[1225462,1770,1225736,1204857,1206335,1225459,1225664],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
