Numerous Swoosh models have received the incredibly popular "Panda" colorblocking in recent months. The Air Force 1 Mid and Nike Dunk Low, two of the most recognizable basketball shoes from the 1980s, have all been given this minimalist makeover.

Nike Terminator High, an underrepresented model of the Swoosh label, appears to be getting the highly coveted "Panda" treatment soon.

The Terminator High made its debut in 1985, alongside the Air Jordan 1 and the Nike Dunk. This silhouette, which first appeared during the height of the basketball craze but was not as well-known as the other two, is about to make a big comeback. For those who are unfamiliar, these shoes were originally designed for the Georgetown Hoyas.

The upcoming Nike Terminator High shoes will be released in a Phantom/Black-Pale Vanilla-Sail color scheme. The uppers of these shoes are entirely made using premium leather panels.

The pair's white toe cap features symmetrically arranged perforations that aid in airflow. The ankle and side panels of this full-leather shoe are then painted in phantom hues.

Furthermore, the front mudguard surrounding the toe box and heel counter are both black in color. The tongue flaps are made of white and topped with contrasted bold black lace loops. The eyelets are also done in matching black leather elements.

The lateral and medial side panels are adorned with eye-catching Nike Swooshes in true Nike fashion. The back heel counter is embellished with "Nike" lettering in a rough vintage script, just like the original from the 1980s. In addition to the exterior, the interiors are noticeable in black and white.

Although the sockliners are white, the insoles are black. These insoles feature Nike Swoosh branding accents supported by a light vanilla midsole with a genuine vintage appearance and feel.

You can experiment with different looks as these high-tops come with two sets of black and white lace fasteners.


Keep an eye out for the next Nike Terminator High “Panda” rendition that is scheduled to be released on January 1, 2023. These footwear designs will be available for purchase for $125 per pair through Nike's online stores and select retail locations.
