A Look at the Upcoming Nike Dunk High Major Taylor
Jul 25, 2007 | Comments 7
Nike is set to release a pack of sneakers dedicated to the "Colored Cyclone" Marshall W. "Major" Taylor. In the late 1800s/early 1900s, Major Taylor took the Cycling World by storm for two reasons, one, his amazing showstopping/race winning talent, and two, the color of his skin. In a world suffocated by the Crow Laws, Major Taylor courageously battled through racism to become one of the Cycling's greatest athletes, and, one of the wealthiest Black men of his era. To celebrate his contribution to the sport of Cycling, Nike is set to relese the Dunk High "Major Taylor". The "Major Taylor" Dunk Highs feature a tonal Brown Leather/Mesh upper (Medium Brown/Light Brown) with a bright Neon Yellow color pop on the Swoosh. The upper sits on a semi-transluscent midsole and a Brown outsole. The "Major Taylor" Nike Dunk Higs, and the rest of the Major Taylor Pack, will hit select Nike accounts and select large chain retailers very soon, if not already.

MaZe is the founder of KixandtheCity.com. He has been rocking fresh sneakers since his teenage years in the early 90's. Now, his collection tallies somewhere near 500 pairs and includes everything from GRs, to QSs, to TZs, to 1 of 1s, to PEs, to Friends and Familys, and anything, and everything in between. His favorite sneaker of all time is the Air Jordan VIII. Beyond loving the physical sneaker, MaZe loves the culture behind it. When MaZe is not in front of the PC working on KATC, he's probably copping kix and making moves.
