A name change notwithstanding, Nike’s latest House of Hoops-exclusive stayed true to its original design and we can’t blame them. The Nike Vandal Low NYC ‘Catch a Cab’ is clearly designed by the seasoned drivers on the streets of the solid black nike for women, but let’s take a second to overview the design inspiration anyway. Both the taxi yellow on the Swoosh and laces and the checkered piping and strap clearly borrow from the Big Apple’s costly cars for hire, and there are a few other references. The tongue tag rocks a Statue of Liberty insignia with ‘On/Off Duty’ details, while the insole is marked with ‘Nike Fare’, a takeoff on cab rates reformulated for roundball. These are set to drop on Friday, June 19th at Foot Locker’s HoH specialty stores, but you might have to casual if you wanna be sure you can afford the shoes.
