Nike Bruin Black White Leather 1
The Nike Bruin dates all the way back to the beginning of the brand in 1972, when it debuted alongside the Blazer mid as the low-top option for basketball. With a resurgence of new colorways this summer, the Bruin has actually been featured in its 1980s construction, with the original vulcanized sole unit swapped with the cupsole of the Tennis Classic. Dropping in white uppers various accent colors so far, the vintage Bruin is finally showing up in a black leather build later this month. Look for the black and white Bruins at select Nike Sportswear retailers on June 21st.
