Taking a quick break from our Nike Hyperdunk coverage, we shift gears to the Nike Sharkley. Designed by Jason Petrie, the Nike Sharkley is a nod to the NikeCB94 and the Nike Shake N'Destrukt, two sneakers that were not only loved by the 90s Basketball community, but by Petrie himself. According to NikeBasketball and Petrie, Nike Basketball does not want to loose the feeling and the great design created by 90's Basketball footwear, but, they do want toutilize today's advanced Basketball sneaker technology. The Sharkley, and the Petrie designed Huarache 08, accomplish this task by keeping a classicoverall feel and look while incorporating Nike's newest technology.

The Nike Sharkley will be worn by several of Nike's athletes in the Play-Offs and early next season. Several of these athletes, including Carlos Boozer andBen Gordon, are set to were PE versions of the sneakers. Ben Gordon's, or BG's, PE Sharkley features a a White Patent upper, with Red accents, and aBlack inner sleeve. Gordon's "BG" logo is emblazoned on the back of the sneaker to add a hit of personalization.

The GR versions of the Nike Sharkley are available now at select large chain retailers. PE versions of the Nike Sharkley, such as the BG Sharkley, arescheduled to release sometime in the future at the House of Hoops.

It really surprises me how people suddenly started to like them? When the first pics surfaced there was nothing but hate. I love them since the samples the'barkley' colorway is hot. It's going to be a good shoe for reasonable retail. You have zoom air, Air Max plus lightweight rides perfect forsummertime balling.

The heel looks alot like the Vick 4 in addition to the NDestruct outrigger as well as the lacing system of the Lebron 4. Interesting but seems to be a takedownversion of the above mentioned LBJ 4.

 

[prodigalson11]

So THAT's what kind of sneakers a "leader" on a team with no heart has. Nice.

 

[ssgefiestoakagerger]

Maze, very nice articles with the sharkley's and hyperdunks !

I can't wait to dip my feet into them glance of heaven.

 

[kickfeen]

loving this colorway!!!

 

[kb8sandiego]

Those look pretty nice.

The angle in that picture brings the AJ XI to my mind. Don't why but it just does. Probably the mid-sole.
