Nike Darwin 2016 1

Nike nomenclature can get downright confusing at times – just look toward the early Air Trainer models and it’s pretty difficult to figure out what came where especially after the brand decided to number to models in the early 2000s. Another example of wires getting crossed is this new lifestyle silhouette (part Roshe, part Presto) called the Darwin. Those who recognize the name attribute it to a mid-1990s basketball shoe that came in mid and low forms and was commonly worn by Dennis Rodman. Will the brand go ahead and re-name the shoe, despite it not causing any sort of controversy like the Zenji (renamed Rejuvenate)? Check out a detailed look here and purchase either the all-black or all-white pair at KITH.
