Designed with Nike's trademark visually gripping graphics, "Sole Provider: Thirty Years of NIKE Basketball" is a collection of Nike hoop shoes and the subculture that surrounds them. Text by "Slam" magazine editor-at-large Robert "Scoop" Jackson, "Sole Provider" gives the inside story of NIKE Basketball - from its inception in 1972 to its incredible success as the basketball brand with over 60% market share.

Featuring anecdotal facts and figures, inside interviews with NBA players, Nike footwear designers, musicians, and other pop-culture notables, "Sole Provider" showcases the historical context of the game with exclusive images from Nike's archives: posters, print advertisements, commercial stills, behind-the-scenes footage, NBA photos, and never-before-published images.
