A classic Hyperdunk returns in honor of the Olympic games.

The classic "United We Rise" Nike Hyperdunk 2008 will be returning for the first time on July 23rd, just before the start of the Summer Olympics in Rio.

The kicks were originally released for Team USA's 2008 run at the Beijing Olympics, featuring a patriotic colorway with "United We Rise" proudly stamped on the tongue. To give the 2008 Hyperdunk's some added flair, Nike also added a graphic print throughout the shoe and splashed the laces with some golden speckles.

There's no shortage of Nike athletes on this year's Olympic roster, so we're hoping to see these on the feet of someone like DeMarcus Cousins when the games tip off in August.
