Nike Air Bakin’ “Cool Grey”
Posted by George Kiel III | Sep 26, 2008 Originally released in 1997, the Nike Air Bakin’ has created a nice buzz with its re-release this past summer. As it continues to make its timely return, many colorways have and will continue to surface. The Nike Air Bakin’ “Cool Grey” mixes different shades of grey to form one of the best colors seen on this sneaker. They sport a cool grey mesh base and midsole with a light grey overlay.
Worn by Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Kevin Garnett at one time, these kicks are extremely cushioned, very durable and provide excellent traction in the form of a solid rubber outsole. This is not a basketball-specific sneaker, however, many people wear it as an indoor/outdoor hoop shoe. Recently, we’ve spotted them in Footlocker stores and other urban accounts, so check your local retailers asap. Would you consider this a basketball classic? |
Nike was teasing us last year with a neon green translucent sole on samples of the Air Foamposite. When the shoes delivered to retail we received the awful news that the clear bottom was replaced with solid, colored rubber.
