Nike Air Bakin Appraisal

Nike Air Bakin' (Miami Dolphins/Turquoise/Orange)

The item consists of a pair of Nike Air Bakin' sneakers, distinguished by their vibrant colorway of white, bright turquoise (likely 'Varsity Royal' or similar shade), and accents of orange (visible on the outsole and visible Air units). The shoes feature a robust, athletic design characteristic of late 1990s Nike basketball footwear. The upper appears to be constructed primarily from white leather or synthetic material, with large, undulating overlays in the bright turquoise color. These turquoise sections create a distinctive wavy pattern along the side panels of the shoe. A prominent Nike 'Swoosh' logo is present on the lateral side of each shoe, outlined in turquoise, cutting into the white upper. On the medial side, where a conventional Swoosh might be, there appears to be a smaller, orange reversed Nike Swoosh, indicating the unique design of this particular model. The outsole is in matching bright turquoise. The heel area features visible Air Max units, which appear to have an orange tint, consistent with the Miami Dolphins-inspired color scheme. The shoes have white laces, which are present but untied. The condition of the shoes appears to be good for their age, showing some signs of wear such as minor creasing on the white upper and potentially some light dirt marks, but no major tears or damage are immediately visible. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for Nike athletic footwear of that era, with well-defined seams and robust construction intended for performance. These shoes are iconic for their bold design and association with 90s basketball culture. The 'R' and number '1' on the medial side might refer to a specific model iteration or a player's initial, but are not clearly discernible in detail.
