Nigel Sylvester has been on a roll this year with his sneaker drops and partnerships with the likes of McDonalds and Extra Butter! But everybody’s wondering when a new bike was gonna drop? Welp, Nigel recently posted photos of a new “Better With Time” themed Specialized and Bike Air BMX bike! It’s a 1 of 1 bespoke 20-inch BMX bike that features Specialized, Jordan brand, Bike Air and Go branding on it. The bike also features Nigel’s signature animal grips.
I’m loving the bold, white “Bike Air and “Air Jordan” branding on the tires along with the Jumpman logo in red. The solid black sprocket has “Better With Time” branding on it in red. Cream is the color of choice for the frame fork and bars. And that cush creme pivotal seat with red Bike Air and GO branding on it in is FIRE!
I love the bold Specialized branding on the down tube in black. I’m from that era where BMXers were proud to represent for their sponsors and keep the graphics on the bikes. Heck, back then we used to bomb the whole frame with mad stickers lol! I know the Nigel is rocking Animal cranks on this bike so I’m gonna assume all the rest of the parts are Animal parts.
Unfortunately, this bike is a one of one bespoke build and there’s no news if this bike or something close to it will go into production. I know there’s a ton of people out there that would love to have Specialized Bike Air to shred or add to their collection. Hopefully, we’ll eventually see a run of frames or completes come out.

SPECS:
I’ll assume the top tube is 21 inches and the rear end is 13.75. No brake mounts but it does have gyro mount holes. 4130 chromoly of course and I’ll also assume the head tube angle is either 75 or 74.5 degrees. If anybody out there knows the actual specs, please post them in the comment section below.
Also, Big shout out to my dude DJ Thoro and the BBS Boys. I know for sure they hooked up that classic Benz!
