An In Depth Look at the Upcoming Nike Air Bakin

 

bakinprev.jpg

 
Perhaps the most controversial Basketball sneaker of its time, the Nike Air Bakin is set to make its Retro return late this Summer. The Nike Air Bakin, made popular by Tim Hardaway, catapulted outside of the BBall realm and into public conciousness because the "Air" logo placed on the back of the sneaker, very closely resembled the Arabic script for "Allah". The "Air" logo on the Bakin was subsequently changed in order to make the logo appear less like "Allah" and reissued to the marketplace. After all of this, the Bakin is back, and we have an in depth look at the legendary sneaker.

    Niiicccce.
    I think they should do something neat to the nike air on the back like they did back in the day with that allah/air mishap.
    Cause the "nike air" on the back looks a lil plain, and this shoe is anything but.
