Last year Nike got together with EA Sports to celebrate Tony Parker’s appearance on the cover of NBA Live 09 with the release of a very limited Nike x EA Sports NBA Live 09 Tony Parker Hyperdunk. This year it seems that even though Tony Parker will not be on the cover of NBA Live again he will be getting another pair of exclusive Nike Basketball shoes made for him. Instead of the Hyperdunk, Parker was given his own Hyperize, which features similar treatment as the Hyperdunk from last year. The upper on both the Hyperize and Hyperdunk use a similar Metallic Silver material, additionally the color blocking on both shoes is quite similar. There is no news about when these Hyperize’s will be released if at all but stay tuned to Bigtimekicks.com for the latest.
