When the Nike Bruin made its hardwood debut in 1972, it marked the birth of Nike Basketball. To honor the occasion, NikeLab is releasing the Bruin Leather. The new sneaker mimics an iteration of the original Bruin, with full-grain leather upper and cupsoles instead of the archetype suede upper and autoclave outsole. Additionally, the Bruin Leather is accented by a bold red swoosh, which is particularly prominent due to the absence of heel tab and tongue markings.

The NikeLab Bruin Leather will be available at NikeLab destinations around the globe, beginning October 21.
