Nike Is Re-releasing This Crazy Shoe

Air Jordan 1 Emerald Green / Black-Grp Ic-White Basketball Shoes
  Sneakerheads have reason to celebrate. After 31 years, Nike is re-releasing one of its most iconic kicks. No, these shoes aren't 

 associated with any GOAT basketball player or pop-culture megastar. The shoe brand is giving fans a chance to cop the Air Sock Racer, 

 which first made headlines in 1986.

 According to Footwear News, the Air Sock Racer is getting a 2017 update with the release of the Air Sock Racer Ultra Flyknit, which takes 

 the '80s athletic shoe and propels it into the modern day. If the shoe's looks aren't exactly your thing — they resemble a pair of socks 

 attached to a sole via two seatbelt-like straps — know that these sneakers come with a pedigree that few shoes can boast.

 Bruce Kilgore designed the original Air Sock Racer. He's the same name behind Nike's Air Force 1 and Air Jordan 2. The Air Sock Racer 

 also set the stage for a lot of Nike's current tech with its stretchy mesh uppers (a precursor to Flyknit) and a lightweight, flexible 

 sole (pre-Nike Free tech). Originally designed for marathon running, the shoes can withstand 26-mile runs with ease, but collectors were 

 more apt to keep them locked away than have them hit the pavement.

The always-entertaining Westbrook throws conventions of pattern and fit out of the arena each and every night. He's a follower of menswear trends, blazes his own sartorial path at press conferences, and isn't one to shy away from the occasional troll (like when he wore a photographer's vest the night of his first game against former teammate Kevin Durant). And like most NBA stars, Westbrook loves himself a cool pair of sneakers—especially his own. Westbrook is sponsored by Jordan Brand and throughout the years Thunder point guard has put his spinon unique styles like the Westbrook 0 and .2, lifestyle sneakers that draw inspiration from Russ's own assortment of high-fashion kicks. But the shoes he just wore in the tunnel ahead of ton
