Nike Shoe History
It all began with a handshake between Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight. Today, Nike is one of the most popular and recognizable brands in the world, providing athletic and casual shoes that remain unrivaled throughout the world. Nike shoes are widely known for their innovations like Nike Air cushioning, Nike Shox, Nike Free and Nike+ technologies. Nike shoes help athletes of every level of ability reach their potential—and Eastbay is proud to carry one of the largest selections of Nike shoes available. From running shoes to basketball shoes and the elite Jordan collection, Nike offers an always-evolving selection of shoes to meet your needs.
Nike Athletes
Nike shoes are often inspired by or designed for some of the country’s top pro athletes. One of the most well-known examples: Michael Jordan. Jordan’s soaring career and all-star talents inspired an entire line of Nike shoes under his name. Nike’s collection of Jordan shoes not only features styles worn by MJ, but also styles like the Jordan Melo – designed for Carmelo Anthony’s game – and the Jordan Jeter, inspired by baseball great Derek Jeter. Nike also created signature shoes like the Nike Zoom Kobe and Nike Zoom LeBron, made specifically for the needs of NBA greats Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. Check out our full selection today.
