Following the release of its inaugural Spring/Summer 2023 collection, Supreme is now gearing up to deliver its Nike Air Bakin. Kicking off the New York imprint’s major collaboration series for the season, the upcoming footwear release serves to continue the longstanding collaborative relationship between Supreme and Nike. For Spring 2023, Supreme has worked with the sportswear giant to reimagine the Air Bakin.Debuting back in 1997 and famously worn by Tim Hardaway during his time with the Miami Heat, the Air Bakin is a prime example of the bright and bold visual sensibility of Nike Basketball in the late ’90s and early 2000s.Made exclusively for Supreme, the Supreme x Nike Air Bakin will be offered in two colorways – “Black/Speed Red/Multi-Color” and “White/Amarillo.” The shoe features synthetic pebbled leather uppers paired with nubuck mudguards. Additional detailing comes in the form of mesh underlay quarter panels, mesh tongues, and webbing loops at the heel.While branding is expressed through rubberized badges at the ankles, molded “NIKE AIR” tongue logos, “SUPREME” on the heel tabs, “NYC” embroidered at the rear, printed insoles, and co-branding on the sole units. Elevating the shoe are Air unit-assisted midsoles and matching rubber outsoles.The Supreme x Nike Air Bakin Spring 2022 collaboration will see 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.For more footwear news, take a first look at the Tiffany & Co. x Nike Air Force 1 reverse colorway.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
