The Supreme x Nike Air Bakin 'Black Gradient' is a reissued basketball shoe that was originally introduced in 1997 and endorsed by renowned players like Tim Hardaway and Mitch Richmond. The upper of the shoe is adorned with a striking gradient finish, combining lavender and yellow hues, which is layered on top of a breathable black mesh base. To add a touch of contrast, the shoe is complemented by crimson rope laces. The durability of the shoe is enhanced by a black synthetic nubuck mudguard, transitioning seamlessly into a matching black Phylon midsole. Noteworthy design elements include a jeweled red Swoosh on the midsole and an exposed Max Air unit in the heel. Additional branding details are found in the form of an embroidered 'NYC' graphic on the back heel and a Supreme wordmark on the webbing pull tab.
