Good for him. I never have liked that style of shoe though.

[kansas husker]

I'm not really into that style of shoe either but since its SUH I want a pair.

[hskrfan4life]

They look nice. Just not my style, but would be cool to have

[huskernumerouno]

I may have to order some just to have them

Is that real? It looks photoshopped...but yeah I'd buy em.

Yeah, it's real. He posted it on his Twitter page.

I was going to ask the same thing. As cool as it looks, that doesn't seem to fit the style of what Nike usually does with it's shoes. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen a shoe from Nike that had a saying or multiple words on it.

 

Second of all, Nike gave him the deal as part of his NFL career. What if he is forced to wear a number that isn't 93 for next year? Wouldn't the shoe seem rather ridiculous? It would idolize his college career rather than idolize him as an NFL player, which wouldn't make much sense for a company like Nike.

i bet the #1 draft pick gets his number 93. Plus, ive looked before, and the Rams #93 is with a practice squad player...soooo....

 

I think this is just a rushed job to get something on the market. Its only been what, a month since Nike inked the deal? Look how simple it is, that shoe style is decades old. They slapped some words on it and pump 'em out. Im sure we will see something a little more customized and forward in the future.

Strange font.

 

Plus..The shoes look like Addidas with a nike swoosh slapped on.

 

Does the rookie plan on keeping #93?

It's just the Nike Air Force shoe. see here

 

Unfortunately, I sold shoes for Journey's for a couple years so I know more than I should about footwear fashion. That said, you do meet a lot of cute girls that way.

[RedNLeader]

Awesome I would like to have a pair of them!

[hskerholic]

On the addidas web site you can create your own shoe for a pretty price 90-145 dollars. but i found some that you can put the husker N on it with Cornhusker down the addidas stipes.

That's pretty much what I was getting at.

 

It's simple, with words "slapped" on it. Even a beginner with photo shop could pump something like that out.

 

I'm not calling them completely fake, but Nike isn't the type of company that sends out preliminary-preliminary shoes. They get a design and then they sell it. Have you ever seen them sell the new Pre-Jordan Jordan's?

 

I'll concede if somebody shows me where they got this picture from. Neither Nike.com nor google shows up with anything, other than the link to Huskerboard where there is a thread about it. Until then, I'm inclined to believe it is a joke.
