Nike Air Bakin returning Spring 2026

[1978S]

Does anyone know what name of the shoe is in reference to?

"The Nike Air Bakin, released in 1997, got its name from a "baking" theme intended to highlight the shoe's hot, fiery design (featuring red and yellow colors) and its place in an "outdoor-inspired" basketball line alongside models like the Air Grill and Air B-Que. The name was part of a marketing concept focused on heat."
