Hyperize=Hyperlite?

I have seen both these names used for the same shoe... can someone explain?

I have also seen both used a rep meetings, but no one could give me a solid answer...

Another case of International names changes versus American names? (Jordan Olympian was the Jordan Gold in Nike Canada)

As for the US release, the original name was going to be Hyperlite. It was then changed to Hyperize.

I don't know about internationally though if they are still the same or if they were changed as well.

Thanks tdog... that would explain it.

Now that I look, they are called Hyperlite on my spring orders, Hyperize on the summer.

Hyperize on the UK boxes, hyperlite on the UK Nike website. Same shoe, blk/red.

So they aint sure either!

Hyperlite is copyrighted as a wakeboard company. That's probably why Nike had to change the name.
