Although created by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight, Jeff Johnson was the one who inspired the Nike name from the Greek statue, 'The Victory of Samothrace.' The first shoe was created in 1974 and was a '' Nike Waffle Trainer '' and after a few years of success, the successful Nike Swoosh collection went to the top. Nike was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports and initially operated as a reseller for the Japanese company Onitsuka Tiger - now known as Asics. It is designed around the position of the Zoom units to get the most out of the cushioning.Ī plush foam tongue and padded collar with a notch to support the Achilles tendon for a snug, comfortable fit. The circular outsole pattern provides traction for multidirectional movements. This helps deliver stability without adding weight. Mesh utilizes reinforced layers to create support around the toe, heel and midfoot. They return it to help give you the extra push you need to drive by defenders.

Two Zoom units under the ball of the foot help absorb energy in every step. Each layer is designed to create lightweight, responsive cushioning, helping to keep you fresh all game long. Three layers of Nike React foam consist of two layers in the midsole and a sock liner. You get energy back with every step, helping to turn your force into momentum when it matters most. It's designed to help players feel light, secure and responsive. Keep your focus on the game in the new Air Zoom BB NXT from Nike Basketball.
