Nike Air Pressure – When Reebok announced they had a bladder system that gave the wearer a custom fit, Nike was quick to answer. The Air Pressure was Nike’s swift, yet crude, reply to the Reebok Pump. Like many basketball sneakers from the nineties the Air Pressure was comically high, came with a lot of plastic, and included its own carrying case. Over the years, the height of the sneaker had the Air Pressure compared to the Air Mag, but 2016 seems to be when Nike is going to give the Air Pressure its proper time in the limelight. Dropping in the original white, grey, and red colorway the Air Pressure is due out later in the year, and let’s hope Nike doesn’t forget the cooler-sized carrying case.
