Devastate or Devious Tate?<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Snkrs Day’ Throwback Thursday<\/em> pays tribute to an underrated and under-the-radar old-school Nike Force basketball take-down model: the 1995 Nike Air DVST8<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This often forgotten, long-lost mid-90s basketball gem debuted at a retail price point that didn\u2019t cause devastation to your wallet but rather was designed to devastate your opponent on court.<\/p>\n

A cult classic, the DVST8 was worn by a plethora of NBA players including Gary Payton and surprisingly has a strong following today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Originally dubbed the Nike Air Warrior, this silhouette lacked advanced Nike technology compared to the more expensive Jordan and Penny signature sneaker lines of the time.<\/p>\n

Durable and made to withstand multiple court surfaces, this silhouette was made with excellent construction, superb padding around the ankle collar, and high-quality materials including durable full-grain leather and Durabuck upper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Additionally, the DVST8 employed a variable-width lacing system for a custom, tailored, secure fit. Multiple versions released in high, mid, and low form in a plethora of colorways as well, most notably the black\/white-true red Chicago Bulls colorway, a favorite among collectors.<\/p>\n

As an aside, the DVST8 made its way from the NBA hardwood to the big screen when it appeared in the 1996 movie, Celtic Pride<\/em>, starring Damon Wayans as Lewis Scott, whose teammate, Lurch, wore the DVST8 as his sneaker of choice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nearly 25 years following its original release, the DVST8 continues to hold a special place in the hearts, minds, and soles of die-hard 90s sneaker enthusiasts, a testament to its timeless, subtle, enduring, and alluring appeal, serving as a perfect example of an underrated, understated, under-appreciated true work of art.<\/p>\n

The 1995 Nike Air DVST8, part of the Force basketball collection by Nike, a well-cushioned, stable mid-90s hoop shoe. May the Force be with you.<\/p>\n
