With each new Supreme season comes a new iteration of the brand's long-standing partnership with sportswear giants Nike. Starting off this Spring Summer 2023 season with a bang comes the brand's take on 90s basketball shoe the Nike Air Bakin.
Debuted in 1997, the style originally courted some controversy upon release. The stylised "Nike Air" branding on the back heel drew backlash from the Muslim community due to its resemblance to "Allah" in Arabic text, leading to them being recalled.

The Supreme version swerves this issue with their own gnarled "NYC" update embroidered at the back of the shoe instead.
The futuristic style comes in an all white colourway plus a black variety with a purple to yellow gradient on synthetic pebbled leather upper, with a luxe nubuck side panel and moulded rubber outsole.
The Supreme x Nike Air Bakin collection is set to release in stores and online this Thursday 2nd March Available in Japan stores and online from Saturday 4th March.
