Nike should open a Nike Retro museum...

[jtplatnum]

I know I'd go (if it weren't in Beaverton...).... All Nike shoes ever produced...ads, everything. Kinda like the Coke museum in Atlanta...how awesomewould that be?

 

[air max 87]

kinda dope, but it would be huge.....

 

[jtplatnum]

it would be the louvre of sneakers...

it'd take like 3 days for you to see the whole thing

i would move in

 

[dnigo]

it would be an amazing place to be/see. i would definately go there!

 

[jtplatnum]

instead of going through all that trouble, why doesn't nike just create a website cataloging all of the shoes they've ever produced? like some kind ofnike database....

 

[swerv1n]

They need a museum of every pair wit product codes and all official cw's released in alphabetical order.

Good idea either way. They'd prolly add like 8-12 pairs a year to a retro museum.
Or maybe a shoe hall of fame of all the most influential and contraversial shoes

Dude it's called my basement - LOL - but seriously don't laugh I am 100% sure there is some shoehead collector fiend that does have this situation forreal.

If you have deep thick paper anything is possible.

Some guys have their car collections & garages but I am sure there is some guy that takes the bus that has all the god Nike retroes.

 

[reakeon23]

thanks for posting, I never knew about this book, very cool. I assume you have a copy? nice. I know you have a very impressive vintagecollection.

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

interesting (that book)

we actually have something exactly like this, although it's restricted to employee access only...

designers go in there for inspiration and employees can also schedule appointments so that they can take a little field trip through time and absorb some nikeculture

That's pretty ill, a museum for the public would be amazing.

 

[bam528]

i don't even think it necessarily needs to have EVERY style with EVERY colorway. go to the museum of rock, cooperstown, any museum that topics a culturalphenomenom- none detail everything that happened in that culture/theme... it simply surveys. although it would be amazing if Nike were to make one like that,its not necessary (nor cost efficient for them). stick with the most significant, popular and relevant to the brand itself.

 

[trydan]

That would be awesome imo! But I expect the nike sole system webpage thing and books are all were gonna get.

 

[putting in work]

I would just get mad at all of the kicks I see that they retroed and messed up or retroed with crappy quality...

 

[jt solemates lm]

awesome idea...and what ever happened to the nike alpha project which was like 10 years ago.

 

[t11time]

that would be heaven

 

[kingofny04]

Its only a matter of time before they do.
