Nike Basketball’s ’20 Years’ retrospective clued us in on the Nike co-founder’s impact during Eric Avar’s design for the Air Hyperflight, and now here’s another way of examining “What would Bill Bowerman do?” The Nike Air Trainer 1 ‘BB51’ pack brings together two of Tinker Hatfield’s game-changing cross-trainers with premium leathers in elegant colors to celebrate a man without whom you wouldn’t be reading these words. ‘BB51’ on the heels connects back to Bowerman’s Oregon roots with a reference to his classic UO Ducks football uniform number while the outrigger area’s diagonal striping evokes images of the ‘Vintage Box’ and all its past glories. An impressive ode to one of this industry’s giants, the ‘BB51’ Air Trainer 1s are going on sale at Tier Zero retailers in Asia like Kasina on Saturday, August 4th, so check back with Sneaker News for US release info and check out some new images in the meantime.
