LeBron James became the first player to ever sign a lifetime deal with Nike, a feat that shows the power and business savvy of King James (and a move that hopefully guarantees some LeBron retros well after his playing days are over). Vic sat out the year with injury, but this shoe was a testament to Nike and Cruz’s relevance to hold everyone’s interest the way the model so readily did. Nike Sportswear outdid themselves with unique storytelling based on Vic’s time on Dancing With the Stars, his relationship with his father, and an all royal blue pair in reference to the Giants’ then high Super Bowl chances. The Nike Air Trainer Cruz harkened back to the days of Bo Jackson’s cross-sports training models, but managed to captivate casual sneaker goers thanks to an interestingly textured heel that brought back memories of Kanye’s time with the Swoosh. It’s a rarity for Footballers to get their own signature silhouette, let alone one meant for off-the-field. Nike Sportswear rolled out bold packaging for a functional, lightweight runner that also doubled as a lifestyle must-have. But if there was one standout invention that Tinker should be known for it would be the creation of the visible air unit, and the continuation of Air Max Day brought a brand new silhouette based on original late-80s sketches of a never-released model in the Air Max Zero. Tinker Hatfield’s contributions to the sneaker world are as limitless as they are bold. The return of the Mambacurial look, a Grinch NIKEiD option, and plenty of creative general releases solidified this silhouette as a must-have on multiple levels. The outsole unit even provided a better aesthetic base for translucent options, speckling, and glow in the dark finishes. The Kobe 10 Elite Low championed a better outsole with Zoom cushioning, natural motion, and tiny teeth to grip the floor for more precise cuts. It was a difficult task for Eric Avar to outdo the massive success of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low, what with the awesome HTM releases and even the Beethoven general release, but he managed to do put forth an outstanding result with the new model.
