What laceless NIKE athletic shoe was inspired by an early Hawaiian messenger who died at the feet of the king?

Kainantu

The shoe you refer to is the Nike Air Kukini (2000-2002). Legend has it that the kukini were the swiftest runners of the king, and could carry a fish from Hilo to Kailua-Kona before the fish died. http://starbulletin.com/96/12/13/features/donnelly.html Apr 01 03, 12:39 PM

In mid-August, nearly a millennium ago, a king died in battle. Almost 600 years later, the obscure events surrounding his death inspired a great work of literature. Who was the king, and what is the work? It gave us the title of a famed 20th-century novel and directly or indirectly inspired several films and a couple of poems. It shares its name with one of the most mysterious paintings of the 16th century, and the basic plot may have been inspired by an early 17th-century shipwreck. What is it, what is the novel, and who produced the painting? There's some Hawaiian version of a classic American song that was key in the 'ER' episode where Dr.Greene died---who sang it and is it available for sale? Who died first, King George V or Rudyard Kipling?
