Nike Barkley Posite Max Eggplant

The Nike Barkley Posite Max Eggplant might look like a shoe that was first introduced in the 1990s when Charles Barkley was still playing in the NBA, but it wasn't unveiled until 2013. It combines elements from the Nike Air Max 2 CB '94 that was released during Barkley's playing days and the Nike Air Foamposite One.

It's easy to see how this Nike Barkley Posite Max earned its "Eggplant" name. It features an eggplant-covered mudguard paneling that runs from its heel all the way up to its toe. It also includes eye-catching teal accents on both the tongue and heel tab, along with an aesthetically pleasing speckled Max Air unit and even an icy outsole.

Our sneaker experts like a lot about this shoe, but it's ultimately the sneaker's big, bulky design that stands out the most to us. The tougher-than-nails mudguard sets the tone for this shoe from the start and gives it a rugged appearance overall. The Nike Barkley Posite Max Eggplant was released on March 23, 2013, for a $235 retail price.
