As Darrelle Revis looks to secure his first Super Bowl title along with locking down the likes of Doug Baldwin Jr. and Jermaine Kearse, today&#8217;s episode of Snkrs Day <strong>Throwback Thursday<\/strong> takes a look at the <strong>Nike Zoom Revis<\/strong>. To see more, flip through the pages below to get the detailed history of the Revis signature model.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B2j5vdEODlw\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Aliquippa&#8217;s Own<\/h2>\n<p>Darrelle Revis&#8217; journey began in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, which is a small town near Pittsburgh. Aliquippa is the hometown of\u00a0several NFL legends such as Ty Law and Tony Dorsett. After emerging as one of the best prospects in the country, Revis would go on to star at the University of Pittsburgh, as well as become the 14th pick of the 2007 NFL Draft to the New York Jets.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/61Wmuv_4T_8?rel=0\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>New York, New York: The Emergence of &#8220;Revis Island&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>After several years of remaining under-the-radar, the ascension of Darrelle Revis began to develop under Rex Ryan and his coaching staff. Eventually earning the moniker of <em>&#8220;Revis Island&#8221;<\/em>, Darrelle Revis would regularly take away the opposing team&#8217;s best wide receiver and limit their production substantially. Some of the players that had limited success against Revis included the likes of Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Chad Johnson.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uzoeWgn4HLo?rel=0\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike&#8217;s Own<\/h2>\n<p>With his accolades and success beginning to rise, Nike saw fit that Revis would become\u00a0the latest NFL player to garner his very own signature model. Much like Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders prior, the Nike Zoom Revis incorporated a\u00a0unique aesthetic that garnered plenty of attention at retailers, as Nike introduced the\u00a0model in late 2012.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Zoom Revis<\/h2>\n<p>With the help of noted designer Kevin Link, the Nike Zoom Revis was constructed to become the optimal training shoe for Revis and prospective athletes looking to gain an edge on the gridiron. Incorporating visible Nike Zoom Air throughout, the Nike Zoom Revis utilizes Flywire technology along with a midfoot strap for added performance functionality. See early sketches courtesy of John Geiger here.<\/p>\n<p>The Nike Zoom Revis derived inspiration from the bridges of NYC, while branding and word-marks throughout help accentuate this sleek model and inspire those who rock the inaugural Revis silhouette.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Adverse Circumstances<\/h2>\n<p>The Nike Zoom Revis was slated to release in December of 2012, however, Nike and Revis would hit a bit of a snag as Darrelle would tear his ACL in a late season matchup against the Miami Dolphins in October of 2012. With his Jets future suddenly in question, the Nike Zoom Revis still released to solid commercial appeal despite Revis&#8217; offseason trade to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With its wide ranging colorways and exclusive PE&#8217;s the Nike Zooom Revis became a fan favorite to many, despite Revis having yet to rock this model during an NFL game.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CTg7K-BXUIY?rel=0\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Switch to New England &amp; The Legacy of the Nike Zoom Revis<\/h2>\n<p>After one season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Revis found himself in Boston as a member of the New England Patriots, and subsequently reviving &#8220;Revis Island.&#8221; Dominating most of their\u00a0adversaries this season, Revis and company have earned a trip to Super Bowl XLIX. However, the legacy of the Nike Zoom Revis remains up-in-the air due to its untimely inception and lack of continuation.<\/p>\n<p>However, in regards to trainers that are specifically made for NFL players, the Nike Zoom Revis is among the best. With its immense comfort and solid traction, it checks every box from a performance standpoint. In regards to the aesthetics of the model, the Nike Zoom Revis has been apart of plenty of distinct colorways as well as exclusive models that have been created for Shane Victorino\u00a0and a variety of MLB players. In addition, Revis&#8217; hometown team the Pittsburgh Steelers even have a pair, as John Geiger showcased them within his <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/johngeiger_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> account.<\/p>\n<p>While it seems as though the Nike Zoom Revis 2 will not be gracing retail shelves in the near future, the legacy of Darrelle Revis remains strong as his play certainly has him entertaining Hall of Fame candidacy. Hopefully down the line, Nike comes to its senses and revives this solid signature line. Best of luck Darrelle in Super Bowl XLIX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Super Bowl only days away between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, anticipation is building as&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":429940,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1205983,1209551,1225484],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) -
