Nike Sportswear has built several lifestyle sneakers from the foundations of ’80s basketball design, but similar looks from the 1970s are all but nonexistent. Probably the closest they’ve come is this higher revision of the original Swoosh roundball lowtop, so in more than one way, the Nike Bruin Mid is a long time coming. Featuring a novel VNTG treatment that opts for a blackened vulc sole instead of the yellowing to which we’ve become accustomed, the Vintage Bruin Mid looks spectacular in a murky Hasta oiled suede. Let us know how monotone styles like these (olive and ivory to arrive shortly) compare to the Multicolor joints we showed you last week and grab this pair today from NSW retailers like SHOELOSOPHY.
