You’re really only a true sneaker nerd if you know what these are…Even MJ (the other one) rocked ‘em.
Nike Tailwind Night Track NRG SAMPLES. Copped these the other day for DUMB cheap: $140. There’s a non-sample pair on Sothebys for $1k…I’d say I got a steal.
I never knew much about Studio 54, but when I moved to New York and started googling stuff online, I saw a shiny pair of Nikes pop up on some of the pics…come to find out, it has a bit of a storied history…
I always thought of them as the Studio 54 shoe, but to see they were made specifically for ‘select celebrities’ makes me think that they predates all of the stuff people are losing their minds for these days: celebrity endorsement.
Anyway…I’m super stoked with this pair. Take a look at the pics if you’re so inclined…
