With the NBA Draft Lottery going down tonight in Chicago, Nike released an inspired Air Edge 270 for the occasion. Getting that number one pick is down to the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Phoenix Suns – the three bottom-of-the-barrel franchises that have an equal 33% shot at the top pick, and to take a bit of the edge off, Nike dropped this lottery-themed colorway of the Air Edge 270 featuring an icon of an envelope on the heel and ping-pong balls dancing around the insoles of the shoes. This offering comes dressed in a White, Black, and Blue color scheme with Red contrasting accents.
Check out the images below, and you can find this Air Edge 270 available on Footlocker.com. The retail price tag is set at $160 USD.
Nike was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports and initially operated as a distributor for the Japanese shoemaker Onitasuka Tiger (now known as Asics). It officially became Nike Inc. in 1971.The Nike swoosh was designed by Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson，The slogan “Just Do It” was inspired by serial killer Gary Gilmore, who said “let’s do it” just before he was executed by a firing squad in 1977.
