After the release of the first ever Spring/Summer 2023 collection, Supreme is preparing to drop their Air Bakin. The sneakers represent the newest production of a long standing collaboration between Supreme and Nike. The two brands have came together to reimagine the classic Air Bakin.
The Nike Air Bakin have been around since the late 1990s and rose to fame when Tom Hardaway showed them off on the court while playing for the Miami Heat. The sneakers are the pinnacle of the bold and bright style of Nike Basketball during the time period.
A Supreme exclusive, the Supreme x Nike Air Bakin debut two different colorways – “Black/Speed Red/Multi-Color” and “White/Amarillo." The sneakers rock nubuck mudguards paired with synthetic pebbled leather uppers. The Air Bakins also have mesh underlay quarter panels, mesh tongues, and webbing loops at the heel.
The branding starts with rubberized badges at the ankles, and the continues with molded “NIKE AIR” tongue logos. "SUPREME" adorns the heel tabs, while the back of the shoes are decorated with "NYC." The two logos come together on the sneakers' insoles. The Air unit-assisted midsoles and matching rubber outsoles literally elevate the shoes to the next level.
The Supreme x Nike Air Bakin promise to be one of the hottest releases of the Spring. Don't miss your chance to cop a pair. The collaboration is set to see a a global release, via the streetwear imprint March 2, 11 a.m. EDT in the United States and March 4, 11 a.m. JST in Japan.
