The Nike Air Revolution High - White / Vivid Blue / Black are now available at select Nike retailers near you. They went deep into storage and decided to bring these bad boys out. The “High” in the shoe’s name is no lie, as these are truly High Tops, and are a much higher cut than your average basketball shoe. This was one of Nike’s earliest basketball models that included the visible Air bubble unit. It is constructed from leather and features an EVA midsole for better cushioning.

This P-Rod II (Hat Rod)was designed by Tinker Hatfield, who’s best known for his work on Air Jordans. It seems he has brought that work onto this job, as these resemble the Air Jordan 12 at the toe area, and the woven material at the back half resembles the Air Jordan 15. They feature a black and university blue colorway, and are overall really nice shoes. They should be releasing sometime in February but we will keep you updated as we receive more info.

The strap refers to the ankle strap on this mid - cut design, which has “SKY II” embossed into it in gold. These have a very sleek shape to them and should sell well. via SneakerFreaker.com.
