The NBA saw a special day of action yesterday, as many games tipped off early to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Nike Basketball got in on the celebration with special Black History Month editions of various models provided for their NBA athletes. All shoes, including models like Hyperdunk 2012, Hyperfuse 2012, Lunar Hypergamer Low, and Air Max Hyperposite, were treated to the same 'Anthracite/Total Orange' colorway and African-inspired motif as February's official Nike Basketball Black History Month collection of signature shoes that will release at retail on January 26th.
