During the mid-1900s, an American innovator named Bill Bowerman revolutionized the design of running shoes. He gained recognition as Nike's original creative force by using an unconventional method of shaping the shoe sole with his wife's waffle iron. Bowerman's unparalleled impact led Nike to introduce the Bowerman Line in the 1990s, which showcased the iconic Air Skylon 2 model. This particular shoe broke new ground by seamlessly transitioning from a performance runner to a must-have lifestyle footwear option. Today, the Air Skylon 2 'Armory Navy' is reintroduced in its retro form, featuring a modern and vibrant color palette accentuated by a mesh upper complemented with leather and nubuck overlays.
