A legend returns – sans controversy.<\/p>\n

The Nike Air Bakin<\/strong> was first released in 1998 with a little bit of a PR project for Nike to tackle. \u00a0The Nike Air Bakin made national headlines when Arab-American groups thought that the way \u201cAir\u201d was written on the shoe looked too similar to \u201cAllah\u201d written in Arabic. Nike recalled thousands of shoes, covered the logos with patches and the shoes made their way to the outlets. Unfortunately for Nike, there were hundreds of thousands of shoes fresh out of the factories that had the same logo. All of which were destroyed. \u00a0 In the end that logo cost Nike millions plus a playground built to ease tensions.<\/p>\n

This time around, the Nike Air Bakin sports the classic “Nike Air” logo on the back. \u00a0The Air Bakin’ is available for sale now at shopnicekicks.com for $150.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
