  • Like this.

  • it's all about the hipster market basing stuff on classics like the Dunk Low etc.

  • do nike do any real cycling gear, other than for lance to wear? ive never seen it for sale anywhere.

  • My folks used to stock Nike cycling clothing...i had 2 different pairs of Nike cycling shoes too.
    Their base and mid layers are bloody great.

  • Nike pulled out of cycling about the same time the started to put more effort into the Skateboarding market..

  • I've seen a few cleats around in shops. They could be old stock though.

  • there is some acg nike stuff kicking around the web.
    it's good stuff but was never really marketed. i've got a load of acg gear and rate it.
    nike acg is pretty much dead now.
    i think wiggle has some stock.

    edit. had some stock they've got a few base layers.

  • Nike pulled out of making shoes when Lance quit for the first time, although they have just been announced as kit and shoe supplier to his new Radioshack team, so perhaps a move back in is on the cards - i have had some ACG stuff down the years and its always been quality.

    I do wish they would bring out regular versions of the Olympic BMX ones as i find straps a poor second to clips, they said at the time they would, but no sign yet

  • what innovation? laekhouse has been doing this to their ELVS t-shirts and caps for how long?

    I've got some Nike ACG shorts and they are 100% awesome. Bit short, but they* are* shorts :P

  • that was why i asked...i haven't been living in an austrian cellar, honest.

    i have some addidas cycling shoes that are 10 years old, but i've just never seen anything i like over them. haven't seen any nike stuff for sale anywhere..web or in stores...agreed - base layers are awesome.

    are those 2010 SB boots? think the velcro, like the 3M combo, is actually great innovation. combining what exists in new ways rather than developing the new. cheaper and faster.

  • I couriered in Nike cycling shoes once...the worst cycling shoes I've ever owned as far as useful life goes.....
