The Nike Air Bakin “Multi-Color” is joining the model’s next retro run, giving the late-’90s basketball shoe a much louder look for Spring 2027.
Originally released in 1997, the Air Bakin became closely tied to Tim Hardaway during his Miami Heat days, while Kevin Garnett also helped give the shoe court presence with Minnesota. Nike is now bringing the model back around its 30th anniversary, with both original colorways and fresh styles expected to return.
This new “Black/Chlorophyll/Multi-Color” pair takes the Air Bakin in a more experimental direction. The early preview shows a dark base with a wild gradient-style upper panel, giving it a similar feel to Supreme’s 2023 Air Bakin collaboration. However, this version appears to have its own finish, possibly with a glossy, glitter-like, or lenticular effect based on the first look.
The colorway was revealed by NYC boutique two:minds alongside other upcoming pairs. It will join the OG “Varsity Red” and “Varsity Royal” releases, which are currently expected to launch during Holiday 2026.
The Nike Air Bakin SP “Multi-Color” is expected to release in Spring 2027 in men’s sizing. The retail price is currently set at $170 USD.
