The Nike Vandal was produced from only 1984 to 1987. Rather than leather, Nike made its upper with thick canvas or nylon. Nike Vandals that featured the nylon were named Nike Vandal Supreme and were sold with different colored sets of laces and a velcro ankle support strap that came in a three way color scheme.

Nike Vandals were one of the first fashionable basketball sneakers by Nike. The Nike Vandal and Nike Vandal Supreme resurfaced in 2003 when as assortment of specials editions were launched: the Jim Morrison, the Haight Street and the Geoff McFetridge. In 2004, camouflage and Premium editions were released.

For collectors, the original pair of Nike Vandals are scarce and rare. They are a great looking shoe and quality at its finest. Quality wise, the reissues were not produced to the original spec hence its only natural that sneakerheads prefers the real thing.
