Nike . Air Lunar 180 . Quickstrike

 

This Air Lunar 180 released by nike last Saturday (sorry I could not post sooner) is what is called a NIKE QUICKSTRIKE. Quickstrike product can be viewed as almost a prototype because it is released to only a handful of nike retailers across the country and Canvas from time to time is one of them and then 6 months to a year later it can often be released in different colors to a large selections of retail.  This shoe is like bigfoot it will be highly discussed with only a select few sightings and even fewer owners. 18 pairs give a call 310.317.9895. FYI – this shoe is a running or walkers delight, not to be confused with “Rappers Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang – get it get it!!! :)

Jackson, who started the festivities with a lead-off home run, took home MVP honors for the game. In tribute to Bo’s time as a major league ball player, Nike has made a pair of premium Trainer SC 2010s from a greased leather that is typical used to make baseball gloves.
