This Nike Shox BB4 Honors Vince Carter’s Raptors “Air Canada” Days

This Nike Shox BB4 Honors Vince Carter’s Raptors “Air Canada” Days

Vince Carter‘s heyday with the Toronto Raptors as “Air Canada” was truly the stuff of legend, so Nike is paying homage to Carter’s aerial acrobatics during his days in the North with a new Raptors-themed Shox BB4. Carter was a young leaper fresh out of North Carolina in the late ’90s-early ’00s, so he needed a shoe that could propel him to heights previously unseen, and the Shox BB4 was just that. Between a genius marketing campaign from the Swoosh Brand, his 2000 Olympics dunk over 7’2 Frederic Weis — widely regarded as the greatest in-game slam of all time — and more highlight-reel stuffs each season than most NBA players have in their entire careers, Nike Shox tech has become completely intertwined with VC’s legacy, and this Raptors-themed makeup is sure to delight any and all Nike Basketball aficionados. The upper is constructed of a crisp white leather, while a purple/red/black stripe runs down the throat and also appears on the heel. Down below, a silver heel clip matches the silver tongue, and holds four purple Shox foam columns in place, providing these Nike shoes with their signature detail. Pops of red on the outsole that are placed under three of the four pillars then complete the look. If you’re looking for a new pair of hoop shoes or just want to take a trip down memory lane, you’ll be able to do so on August 25th when these Shox release for $170 USD.
