The Bruin was one of Nike’s earliest low-top basketball shoes and was known as the shoes Michael J Fox wore in Back to the Future.  With a leather upper and herringbone outsole, the Bruin was also one of the first shoes to be used besides Chuck Taylors.  The original edition of the Bruin also had a fatter Swoosh, which was reduced in 1980 by Nike designers. The shoe has been re-issued (like the Nike Blazer) numerous times and a SB version was released on the Nike SB line.
