The original HyperKO was the gold standard of boxing boots\u2014so much so that a proper sequel didn\u2019t land until 2020. The franchise\u2019s third iteration has come along sooner, but still has big shoes to fill given the original\u2019s persisting fandom.<\/p>\n
Tech specs are still under wraps, but visually, the HyperKO III seems like a mash-up between its two predecessor. Sleeker than the OG, but not as barebones as the HyperKO II, the third edition sees plastic overlays across the entirety of its upper. The design choice likely provides containment while offering a striking visual when compared to traditional boxing boots. A lockdown strap returns to the vamp, nodding to the pairs popularized by Pacquiao. Underfoot, multi-directional traction appears on the thin sole unit, ensuring boxers have enhanced ring-feel.<\/p>\n
Enjoy official product shots of the third Hyper KO boot ahead. Pairs are expected to release through a number of retailers beginning on Sunday, March 1.<\/p>\n
