In 1997, the Nike Air Bakin was introduced to the basketball court by Tim Hardaway. However, its circulation came to a standstill when the shoe's logo, which bore a resemblance to the Arabic text for 'Allah,' sparked protests from the Muslim community. Nevertheless, in May 2014, the sneaker made a comeback as the Nike Air Bakin 'Turbo Green,' featuring a modified logo while staying true to its original design with its two-tone leather and synthetic upper, contrasting branding, and accents. The children's version of this shoe also boasts an extended sole that is molded around the Max Air system and provides herringbone traction.
