In recent years Nike has unfortunately had a bad tendency of butchering some of it's classic models by creating horrible mutant hybrids, using cheap looking materials and opting for highly questionable colour palettes. Fortunately every now and then they still manage to drop something that maintains some of the integrity of their original iconic designs. This Nike Air Classic BW comes in smooth leather and mesh in a Classic Charcoal/Dust-Swan-Black colourway. Evidently not the most adventurous of colourways, but finding this combination of materials on general release BW's has in recent years unfortunately become somewhat of a rarity. They failed to retain the embossed tongue found on the originals (they have opted for a simple stitch instead) but have still managed to capture some of the essence of the originals despite the smaller air units. More pictures and info after the jump.
