Most closely associated with eccentric basketball personality Dennis Rodman, it appears that Nike is throwing some serious weight behind its retro Air Darwin model. Teased earlier this month in a trio of color schemes, the new rendition focuses on fall-friendly work boot vibes with its tonal “Wheat” motif.

Worn by The Worm during the 1994-95 NBA season, the statement sneaker features the easily-recognizable backwards Swoosh, as well as decorative perforations on the toe and side areas with a two-tiered sole unit sitting below. Nubuck suede swarms the upper region in its entirety with splashes of black landing on the midsole, eyelets and heel Swoosh. Priced at $130 USD, you can find this new Nike Air Darwin at such retailers as Finishline.

In case you missed it, a Martine Rose x Nike Air Monarch could be in the works.
