Nike Vandal High Vintage

Published: July 26, 2007, 5:45 pm

When the Nike Vandals first stepped onto the scene in 1985, they were one of the first entirely nylon upper high top basketball sneakers. Using nylon instead of traditional leather made them not only more breathable, but also much lighter. When the Vandals made a major comeback in 2003, initially there were several colors with nylon uppers, but those quickly faded away and the norm is to see leather on these shoes. Nike pulled a page out of the recent Vintage Running set of sneakers and have applied the same principles to these. These feature original type nylon, stitching patterns, and have been a little dirtied up so that it looks like you have been sitting on these kicks for two decades. No release details, but where there is one special Nike shoe, there will be many. Expect some more details in a follow-up. Pics thanks to Sneaker Freaker.
