February’s release of the Rafael Nadal Nike US Open 2009 Tennis Collection “Bringback Pack” was a rather shocking move by Nike; for one, Nike Sportswear rarely collaborates with stateside boutiques, and secondly, the collaboration was just a reproduction of two of the most hard-to-attain Dunks ever. Nike re-released the White Dunk Highs back in February, and it looks like the Ballistic version is scheduled for a release very soon as well – although an exact release date is unknown. Like the White pair, the 2013 version of the Rafael Nadal Nike US Open 2009 Tennis Collection “Ballistic” features the UNDFTD strikes logo on the heel, tongue, and lace-tips, and like the original Ballistic Hyperstrike of 2002, the upper is built by ballistic nylon and other sturdy materials for that military-style appeal. We’ve got an exclusive teaser for you here so take a look and stay tuned for a detailed look very soon. Many thanks to Nguyen.
