At the end of the 1970s, the Nike Elite OG was released, a model with which Nike wanted to reduce the volume of the upper part of the shoe, to make it a much lighter shoe, since this model was originally designed for running. Smoother materials such as suede and nylon were chosen for this purpose. This model was one of the first launched by the founder of the brand Bill Wowerman with the "Waffle" sole so characteristic in Nike whose objective era that this sole would improve the traction of the shoe on various types of surfaces. This sole, in those years became the most flexible and lightweight rubber sole on the market, which was able to revolutionize athletics, and also serve as inspiration for future collections of sneakers in the following decades.
Although it seems difficult to understand the return of this Nike icon to the market. The Nike Elite OG are back due to a great work of one of our star stores, the British Size? who has become in recent years to bring out exclusive collaborations with top brands such as Adidas, Nike and Reebok. This time we will be able to enjoy these two colorways, exclusively, but who knows if we will have new combinations from Nike in the future.
