Low-top performance based basketball sneakers are becoming more and more accepted across the nation. Today, sneakerheads get another option to hit the courts in with this first look at the Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 Low. This rendition of an annual classic features a dropped ankle collar with the same die-cut external heel counter, Zoom cushioning and flywire technology as its high-top counterpart. With NCAA Basketball already underway, we are expecting this white, black and metallic silver colorway to hit the courts very soon. Will this be a pair you add to your gym bag?

Here's a look at the upcoming low-cut version of the Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011, set to start hitting retail in January. The collar of the shoe has been dropped, while Flywire technology, the die-cut external heel counter and Zoom cushioning elements have all been retained. This particular pair sports a predominantly white synthetic upper with a healthy amount of black accenting and minimal metallic silver hits on areas like the shank plate.
