Designers two decades ago believed the stiffer and wider the better (be mature), and in some ways, they were right.
Guess how I would know? Yep — second pair on the way.. Why not? If the Nike Air Shake Ndestrukt was good enough to help Dennis Rodman win rebounding titles and NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls in the late ’90s, it' good enough for me to hit the court in now.PU isn’t bad for a cushioning set-up…in 1996. The ankle area is heavily padded and seriously hot, but the feel is great; it wraps completely around your joints and hugs you like that fat aunt at the reunion.Nike Air Shake Ndestrukt supportIt wouldn’t be a true ’90s shoe without great support.
