The Air Force 1 High, Sock Dart, and Cortez are just some examples of great Nike sneakers in history that have been reintroduced to the world using the elevated NikeLab tier. Next up on the relentless retro push is the Vandal High, a basketball sneaker from the 1980s that shares a lot of DNA with the AF1. This high-collar, ankle-strapped, and bold colored sneaker was a true standout in Nike’s burgeoning basketball category of the 80s, and Nike’s concept label aims to bring back this decades-old silhouette in an appealing black, white, and silver colorway. This particular sneaker doesn’t possess many “collectors” gems like the AF1 or Dunk has, but there have been a series of highlights over the years like the “Tearaway” pairs by Geoff McFetridge, but we expect more from this iconic pair as it gets the revitalized NikeLab Hot. June 25th is the day to seek these out at NikeLab locations, so get a detailed look below.
