There was a point in history not too terribly long ago when ‘bling’ abounded and anything shiny and/or sparkly conveyed status, but like any trend, this one was met with a group of dissenters to chose to go in the opposite direction.

This movement away from flash and back toward understated substance is embodied by the latest Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 colorway, appropriately dubbed ‘Matte Black‘. These joints have a no-nonsense deep gunmetal appeal that’s great as an ‘away’ model or just your go-to shoe for hoops.
