In 1993, Steven Spielberg put out the blockbuster Jurassic Park featuring a theme park with cloned dinosaurs which at the time was still a pretty radical idea. The same year, Nike put out a cross-training sneaker call the Nike Air Carnivore which may have potentially been inspired by the film. The promotional material for the sneaker calls out “Survival of the Finest”, and recently at the recent Nike Training Summit, a large info graphic calls out the shoe as “Jurassic Spark”. With its name and extreme design, even for today, the sneaker seems to suggest that the athlete wearing the sneaker can overcome and devour its opponents. The sneaker has had a cult following since its initial release and many have begged for its return. Well, good news, the Nike Air Carnivore is finally being Retroed for the first time during the Summer of 2010. For the time being, Nike has two colorways up its sleeves including the OG Green, Purple and Black colorway and a White, Black and Red colorway. Via NT
