The Eastbay Vault and Major Taylor

We wanted to hit you with a quick heads up: Nike has a new collection that dropped this weekend inspired by Major Taylor, one of the first African American superstar athletes. A dominant cyclist in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, Major Taylor paved the way for future Black athletes in all sports.

The line features a Dunk, Blazer, Air Max 90, and a Cortez. All of which are dope. The supplies are big-time limited and here’s how to get them:

Eastbay has just launched a members-only sneaker boutique called “The Eastbay Vault,” and all of our Dime readers are getting free instant access. The Eastbay Vault opened on Saturday featuring the entire Major Taylor Collection.

Memberships to The Vault are going to be limited, so we highly suggest you sign up today.
