Flight School: Nike Air Assault
First released in 1988, the Nike Air Assault has a very bold high cut, a very wide and sturdy Air Jordan III sole and midsole. While mostly flying under the radar, the shoe was re-released in 2007 and many sneakerheads were displeased with the updated design changes in the newer version. However, the Nike Air Assault’s true legacy is in influencing later designs for other shoes, as its safari print is the DNA that keeps this shoe living on.
