Nike Air Max Shake Evolve

Dennis Rodman is widely considered to be one of the most eccentric professional athletes in history. Grabbing rebounds and dressing in drag were his strengths, while his weaknesses were keeping calm and cool and maintaining one hair color for an extended period of time. That didn’t mean he was good at what he did; in fact, he was one of the best to ever play the game, as he was inducted in the Basketball Hall of Fame in August. The Air Shake NDestrukt, which made its debut in 1996, was the perfect representation of Rodman’s twisted and against-the-norm persona; the Footscape-esque off-centered lacing system is obviously the marquee detail of the NDestrukt, which also featured a funky zig-zagged outsole traction, a turf-shoe-like midsole, and an overall package of organized clutter that poignantly defines Dennis Rodman’s off-the-court antics.
For 2012, Nike will rebound with the Air Shake NDestrukt – sort of. Continuing its approach of combining classic designs with contemporary processes (the Air Kukini Free, for example), air Shake NDestrukt will return as the Air Max Shake Evolve; a basketball-specific 180-degree Max Air unit, an updated outsole design, and a cleaner, sleeker profile is what constitutes the evolution from NDestrukt to Max Evolve. Of course, your opinion counts, so check out the four upcoming colorways of this redone Retro and let us know what you think. via CK.
Nike is trying to put air max back on the map. LBJ is leading leading the way. They are putting Max everywhere even on Jordans. Few years ago, only very few NBA players had Air Max shoes. Now the numbver is growing. As Shox is dead, Nike needs a visible technology to market.
IS IT SOOO FUCKING HARD TO RETRO!!!!!!!! DAMN NIKE/JB BRINGS BACK ALL THE JORDANS BUT WE CANT GET ONE GOOD RETRO OF ANOTHER SHOE W/O IT BEING TWISTED IN SOME WAY?? FUCK YOUR AIR BUBBLE NIKE!!!
WHYYYY???????????????????????????????
Is this Gentry's idea? The guy who got kicked out of JB.
Release the real damn shoe and stop changing shit!!!
The new design isn't tragic. Calm down... it's just not better than the OG. I like the white/blue colorway though.
Got a lot of haters out here. Another excellent remake. These go way harder than the originals. I dont know what the hell yall talkin about
NOW YOU FUCKED UP
i swear on everything holy i had a nightmare about this shoe while sleeping at work today. vomit on some babies, this is the worst shit i've seen in a long time. just give us the shake, and hell while you're at it nike...give us the rattle and roll for good measure!
just a few weeks ago i was looking for the OG Shake Ndestruct in the white/red/blk. keep the retros coming nike!!!

I can dig it...been waitin on these for a minute.
noooooooooooo nike why?? why why why? wtf sstop doing this to our classic shoes.... why dont u guys just retro the original shoe.. nobody is gonna ball in these
If this is the stuff Gentry said will make us say Damn he is right. Damn they messed this classic. The colorways the materials the overall shape and Air unit look off. Why do they force that 180 and 360 on EVERYTHING! Nike worse then the bootleggers now. SMH
Why can't they just release the original Shake Ndstrukts again? That's all they have to do. I'm getting mighty fed up with all these frankenstien revamps.
agreed!!!!
