The new Nike ACG Air Moc has to be the most inviting-looking shoe that Nike has ever made. I never thought I'd see the day when Nike went native.
The Nike ACG Air Moc probably isn't a court shoe, but that won't stop me (and probably several others) from trying to ball hard in it. The Nike moccasins come in three colors and feature leather laces on the heel. These shoes look comfortable as sin, and the fact that they have the Nike swoosh on them only adds cool points. Check the links for more info. Squanto would be pleased.
