A short history of Nike

Nike started in Oregon in the 1960s as Blue Ribbon Sports, founded by Phil Knight and his former running coach Bill Bowerman. The company took the Nike name in 1971, the same year the Swoosh logo appeared. Basketball followed in the 1980s: the Air Force 1 arrived in 1982, the Dunk and the Air Jordan line in 1985, and in 1987 the Air Max 1 showed a visible Air unit in the heel for the first time.

What makes Nike special for sneaker fans is how those archive models keep coming back. A shoe built for college basketball courts or marathon training in the eighties now drops in new colorways every season, often in collaboration with artists, skate shops and designers. That mix of heritage and fresh releases is why Nike is still the biggest name in sneakers.

The Nike lines you will find at Mentastore

Our Nike range is big, so it helps to know where to start.

• Nike Dunk: the 1985 basketball shoe that became a lifestyle icon, in Low, High and SB versions.
• Nike Air Force 1: the clean leather classic, best known in Triple White.
• Nike Air Max: visible Air cushioning across the 1, 90, 95, 97 and more.
• Nike Air Max 1: the 1987 original and a favourite for collectors and collabs.
• Nike Vomero 5: a technical running shoe that became one of the most worn sneakers of recent years.
• Nike P-6000: early 2000s running style in mesh, leather and metallic finishes.

Popular Nike sneakers right now

The Nike Dunk Low Retro White Black, better known as the Panda, is probably the most recognisable sneaker of the last few years. Softer tones like the Dunk Low Grey Fog and the Dunk Low Photon Dust (W) are just as easy to wear, while the Dunk Low Industrial Blue Sashiko adds texture with its stitched details.

The Air Max 1 is having a big moment too. Pairs like the Nike Air Max 1 PRM Escape, the Air Max 1 Crepe Hemp 2022, the Air Max 1 PRM Dirty Denim and the Air Max 1 Premium Denim Leopard show how far the 1987 shape can go with materials. Collabs such as the Nike Air Max 1 x Patta White & Hyper Crimson and the Air Max 1 SP Concepts Mellow are wanted by collectors, and the Air Max 1 '87 Hangul Day (W) and the Air Max 1 Athletic Department Deep Royal Blue are strong picks if you like something a little different.

Then there is the Nike Air Force 1 Low Triple White: the all-white pair that half the country seems to own, and for good reason. For a retro running look, the Nike P-6000 Metallic Silver and the Air Max 90 Light Pink Snakeskin (W) are worth a look.

Nike sizing and fit

Nike sizing is fairly consistent, but every model has its own character. As general advice, most people take their usual size in the Air Force 1 and the Air Max 1. Some go half a size down in the Air Force 1 because it feels a little roomy. The Dunk Low fits close to true to size but is slightly narrower, so if you have wide feet half a size up can be more comfortable. Running models like the Vomero 5 and the P-6000 usually fit true to size with a snug, padded feel.

Women's pairs are marked (W). Kids' sizes are marked (GS) for grade school, (PS) for preschool and (TD) for toddlers. GS sizes run up to EU 40, which makes them a popular choice for adults with smaller feet. Always go by the EU size in the size selector. The easiest way to be sure is to try a pair on in our Tilburg store, where you can compare models side by side.

How to wear and care for your Nike sneakers

Nike classics are easy to style. A white Air Force 1 or a Panda Dunk works with straight jeans, cargo pants or shorts in summer. An Air Max 1 or a Vomero 5 adds a sporty touch to a tracksuit, or to a hoodie with wide pants. In autumn and winter, darker suede and denim colorways hide rain and dirt better than white leather.

Want your pairs to stay fresh? Clean leather with a soft brush and a sneaker cleaner, let them dry at room temperature and keep them out of the washing machine and away from the heater. Suede and nubuck do best with a dry brush and a protective spray before the first wear.
