Nike X Specialized Collab Cruiser

14 08 2024

Nigel Sylvester, for me anyway, typifies the “new school” of BMX. However, as it turns out, I might be typecasting him a bit.

Reason being, the new “Bike Air” 26-inch cruiser he is collaborating on with Nike/Air Jordan and Specialized.

This cruiser definitely has a look that pulls on the old school heart strings.

From the chrome plated frame, fork and handlebars to the the black wheel covers…the old school BMX vibe is undeniable. Heck, if all that wasn’t old school enough, the frame sports looptail dropouts!

Sure, the v-brakes are definitely a nod to the modern era…but they are more in line with the general vibe of the bike than the disc brake setups that now starting to dominate the market.

Apparently Nigel was obsessed with chrome bikes as a 90s kid and this bike is an ode to the that time and a celebration of his AJ4 RM “Driveway Grey” shoe.

With all that being said, these bikes are looking to be an extremely limited run…word is that less than 20 will be made. So, if one of these chrome beauties interests you…keep your eyes peeled for drop information…cause they are going to go quick.

Specialized steps it up with the P24

27 10 2010

As you may recall from a previous post, where Specialized debuted the new P24 at Sea Otter, Specialized has reentered the BMX world.

And it looks like they’re serious about it this time.

The P24, which we featured a prototype of earlier, has been out for a little while now and it looks like they’ve done a good job of spec’ing out this complete bike. Its got great geometry, Reynolds cro-mo construction (with a 21.6 top tube) and nice, big 7 1/2″ X 29″ bars. The components also look solid and it’s a fairly light at the 26 pound mark.
