Nike’s next classic basketball shoe to receive a full retro release is 1985’s Terminator High, which has already surfaced in a number of colors. This week, we got an official look at a smooth ‘Velvet Brown’ look, coming soon.

Released in 1985, the Nike Terminator High has seen the occasional re-release over the past several decades, but this year the Swoosh is giving the classic silhouette the luxury treatment. Part of the brand’s ‘Be True’ lineup, the shoe’s most lasting fame comes from the exclusive treatment of the Georgetown colorway given to the school’s basketball team while other schools were given Dunk Highs instead. Now, Nike has prepared a handful of new styles to help relaunch the silhouette, including this lux ‘Velvet Brown’ pair that emerged this week. Beginning with a black canvas base, the pair adds dark brown leather overlays to the toes, lacing system, and Swooshes to complete the new look.
