Nike Air Max Hyperposite, New $225 Foamposite Shoe in 2012

I've seen the Zoom Rookie mentioned before, but that's a Nike Sportswear release, not a Nike Basketball release, so it's a bit different. Although it may be the closest comparison.
But for an actual basketball performance model to simply continue for a second year rather than receive a "sequel" or successor, I can't think of anything like it.
We had a release last month, a release coming up this month, looks like the plums will drop next month, who knows what else they might come out with. So it's certainly an unexpected and exciting turn of events. The Hyperposite is by far my favorite shoe to play in. I wouldn't change anything about it (except the price). There's really no need to do a 2013 update or anything.
And major props to team hyperposite for helping build enthusiasm for this model so that it could be given a second chance. Still think Nike made a big mistake when they did the last second price change from $200 to $225 (even the boxes said $200). But after scoring a few pairs at $135 (which I thought was a great bargain), I'll gladly pay the $225 this season rather than wait for a price drop. I want to see this line continue. There's nothing else out there that compares IMO.

I like the Hyperposite. If they continue they should use the star power it gets. More than Amare should get a PE released.

Please do post up the results with your next set of laces. I wouldn't mind grabbing a pair if there is a perfect match.

Thank You.
I have seen some I wanted to get off Mr. Lacey but he doesn't ship to US last time I checked. They want you to go through a distributor but the distributor doesn't have the laces I want on there site.

I got my pair from surfdome.com but yeah you can try the site OnlyDsDunks703 posted too.
I will post the results of my infrared laces soon as I get them. The neon pink from Mr. Lacy is like a shade or 2 off from the sock liner smh

Do you mean the Boston Beaches? If so, I dont really consider those his PE. He wore ones similar on Christmas, but not those. Plus I mean the tongue branding too. BBs are cool though I'm not gonna knock them at all. They just arent my favorite Hyperposite model.

I need more hyperposites, very comfy as well
