BASKETBALL BOOT, "AIR FLIGHT II JUNIOR"
Designed by Nike, USA
1990

Founded in 1964 by a track coach and former middle-distance runner, the Nike firm (as it was renamed in 1972) is now the largest athletic shoe manufacturer in the world. Recently, the young and fashion-conscious have responded enthusiastically to high-top basketball boots. Sought after for their high-tech looks and locker-room chic, they have become a highly visible street fashion and are shown by many top designers, worn with anything from cycling shorts to evening wear.
