Nike Basketball Barkley

The Nike Basketball Barkley collection exists thanks to Charles Barkley, a successful ex-pro basketball player who is now a commentator and analyst for TNT and CBS Sports. During his basketball career, he was popular both on and off the court. On the court he was known as a dominant rebounder and for being an overall versatile player who won numerous awards. Off the court he made his mark by being outspoken and sometimes controversial. As for his choice of footwear, he gravitated to the Nike Air Force in his early days.

As his popularity and influence grew, Nike took notice and stamped his name on Nike Basketball Barkley signature sneakers, starting in 1994. His first signature shoe was the Nike Air Force Max CB. It was built like a tank, just like its inspiration. Six more signature shoes followed, each one reflecting his larger-than-life style.

The Nike Barkley Posite Max and the Nike Chuck Posite then entered the Nike Basketball Barkley line-up. These are available in models like the Metallic Silver Gamma Blue Metallic Silver Gamma Blue in a sleek and clean colourway that brings a dark night sky full of stars to mind. With a translucent speckled 180 Air Max heel unit, this shoe provides traction and support.

Another popular model is the Nike Barkley Posite Max Suns colourway, which turns up the energy with a bold purple and orange colour combination. With a glow-in-the-dark outsole and CB logos on the heel and tongue, it's a powerful-looking sneaker. Take a peek at StockX’s entire collection of Nike Basketball Barkley sneakers now.
