Nike Basketball’s “Elite” concept was thoroughly detailed by Nike designer Leo Chang during our interview two weeks ago. It truly must be a designer’s dream to go all out on a sneaker, so designer Brett Golliff created some “Elite”-style renderings of some of the most memorable Nike Basketball silhouettes in history that have had their share of Playoff battles. If you ever wondered what the Air Jordan XI, Nike Shox Stunner, or Nike Air Max Penny 1 looked like with a completely beefed up “Elite” exterior, Brett’s got ten models for you to ponder at below. Do you think Nike will ever go “Elite” with their Retro models? Point out your favorite and let us know your thoughts on this concept below.
