Jared Ebanks In 1994, Nike and Charles Barkley proclaimed that the 92-93 MVP was “not a role model.” What followed was not only a change in scenery from Philly to sunny Phoenix but the arrival of his first true solo signature silhouette, the Nike Downshifter 12 Boys Dm4194-500 CB ’94. While the 1994 model has most recently been stashed away in the Beaverton brand’s archives, a 2020 rendition of Barkley’s famed signature is set to return in Holiday 2023, according to @bubblekoppe.
Amongst the pair’s recent OG interpolations, the clad-black ensemble mimics its three-year-old counterpart to a tee, casting the nubuck lace locking system, mesh support straps and full-grain leather tooling in a Triple Black aesthetic. Brightened in seldom by way of the porous white mesh peeking through the metal-backed supports’ ventilation, the monochromatic ensemble resumes along the teeth-supported sole unit and embossed heel counter while a reserved hit of “Game Royal” emanates from the heel’s Air Max cushioning system and carved-out pocket amongst the tread.
Set to release for Holiday 2023, no official imagery of the Nike Downshifter 12 Boys Dm4194-500 CB ’94 “Black/Game Royal” has been shared yet, so in the meantime enjoy a look at the pair from 2020.
