5 Nike Styles to Keep In Your Closet

Aug 31, 2022

When you think of iconic sneaker brands, Nike likely comes to mind. Cofounders and partners Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman blazed the trail for the brand when they created Blue Ribbon Sports in 1964, transforming to “Nike” in 1971. Soon after, Bowerman made his groundbreaking decision to take inspiration from his breakfast foods. That created the prototype for Nike’s well-known waffle sole, which would appear on some of the best Nike sneaker styles we know today.

Over the years, Nike continued to release stylish shoes, and you can find these kicks at your favorite Hibbett | City Gear location. Each of these five Nike shoes is a must-have staple, ideal for dressing up or dressing casually.

Nike Air Max 270s

The Nike Air Max 270 offers more athletic aesthetics. Accompanied by a large Max Air unit for optimal comfort and support, as well as mesh elements throughout the shoe, these kicks have your back, whether you’re hitting the court or the gym. With men’s, women’s and children’s sizes available, you can find Nike shoe styles for the whole family.

Nike Air Force 1s

Nike Air Force 1s blend classic style with fresh details. Low top and high top versions offer standout characteristics, such as a durable foam midsole featuring the Nike Air unit and a padded collar for a snug, comfortable fit. Available in solid black and white as well as colorful schemes, these kicks are the best Nike shoes for versatility, suitable for the office or the streets.
