It looks like the rumors were indeed true: the Nike Air Shake NDESTRUKT is finally getting a retro. The proof can be seen here, with the first images of the upcoming retro for 2017 in two original colorways. Well, almost original that is, as it look like Nike has found yet another way to not get their retros 100% accurate. Fans of the heavy-duty Dennis Rodman-worn sneaker from 1996 will quickly notice a few differences with these retros in relation to the OG, most glaringly the all-white double Swoosh on the black colorway that should have a black under-Swoosh with only white for the slightly smaller top Swoosh. The “AIR” jewel should also be black, not white. (Compare this retro with the OG here). That being said, the OG white and red colorway that Rodman wore throughout the ’95-96 season is almost totally accurate, except for the noticeably smaller visible Air window—but that’s something we’ve come to expect from most Nike retros.
Despite the small differences, fans of the often-requested classic from 1996 should still be quite happy to see the shoe’s long-awaited return (and perhaps these are just early sample shots, not the final product that will hit the shelves). Are you excited for the upcoming retro of the Air Shake NDESTRUKT? Let us know your thoughts after seeing this early preview in the comments below.
