Nike’s global dominance in both the footwear and athletic departments has allowed for them to branch out and pick up a few more assets along the way. Brands like Converse have maintained their original identities all while helping the Swoosh expand their business portfolio and more importantly their profits. Very rarely do we get to see any kind of tops nike involvement as obvious as this “Brand Slam” sneaker – a model that appeared in ultra-limited form during the tops nike x Doernbecher Freestyle 2014 event. Taking on the form of the italian leather air force ones, the shoe nods at parent brand tops nike’s affiliation with the likes of Hurley, Air Jordan, Converse and more atop an iridescent camouflage pattern. And while the assets have changed since the last time we saw nike air jordans purple aqua and grey shoes gold, this one of a kind sneaker is a true rarity – only 11 pairs were made in tops nike’s Innovation Kitchen. Good luck trying to find a pair for yourself. We do have a better view of the intra-branded tops nike silhouette after the click.
