We were reminded of the modern meaning of ‘Nike Elite’ in a big way this past week as the Basektball division’s Elite Series debuted in the NBA Playoffs and at retailers, while the (American) Football team showed off their new Elite 51 uniforms in and around the recently concluded 2012 NFL Draft. But over thirty-five years before Nike’s latest attempt crafting gear for the pro gridiron, we were introduced to a waffle-soled runner without which the Swoosh might not even exist. And now the Elite is reborn as the Nike Elite No-Sew, a remix borrowing from the same construction utilized on the recent NFC East x Air Max 95 No-Sews. Your choice of Volt/Sail or Signal Blue/University Red gets you either a modern or classic look, and both are available now from Nike Sportswear dealers like End.
