The GOAT himself rocking the Air Jordan VII in the ‘Olympic‘ colorway. Considered one of the best colorways featured on the Air Jordan VII, MJ not only won the gold in these but also grabbed his second straight NBA Championship.
Barkely was a beast in his prime. While teaming up with some of the best player of all time, Sir Charles shined all on his own while sporting the Nike Air Force 180. Boasting the same Olympic styled theme, these are now considered classics amongst collectors, enthusiasts and casual sneaker wearers alike. They were so popular that Nike decided to re...
Fresh off their first Championship, Scottie Pippen & Michael Jordan took the floor once again as teammates while lacing up the Nike Air Flight Lite. Back in the 90’s, a fresh pair of Flights could be seen all across the U.S. As they were the most versatile basketball shoe at a decent price. Not only was Nike’s Flight line popular in the 90’s, it is...
One of the greatest PG’s of all time came back to play the game we all know and love. Voted by fan as a starter for the 1992-93 ASG, Magic also laced up his Converse Magic USA’s while obliterating the competition with his size, style and grace during the USA Team chased Olympic Gold. While Conversemay not have the star power it used to, they are st...
A young Patrick Ewing added his defensive skills to the lineup while wearing the Next Sports Patrick EwingEclipse Hi. This is one of those brands that you may remember vaguely or forgot about completely. Owning a pair of OG Ewing’s is no easy feat, those who do will most likely never part with their rare oddity in sneaker history.
Another classic amongst the crowd, David Robinson wore the Nike Air Ballistic Force. With its military styled silhouette and midfoot strap, this was the sneaker made for big men who were ready for war. With its timeless style and on court performance, Nike took inspiration from the Ballistic Force and subtlety incorporated design aspects into the N...
Long before APL produced performance enhancing sneakers, Karl Malone rocked the LA GearCatapult. With its spring loaded ‘Power Feedback System’, LA Gear actually had been a contender with major brands in the early 90’s. Nike even filed suit against the brand which they claimed infringed on their patented ‘Spring Moderator’ technology. Pretty crazy ...
Not only did David Robinson sport the Ballistic Force, but the smallest player on the court also took to the stage while wearing this heavy duty high top. John Stockton would eventually fill the empty shoes left by Magic Johnson’s retirement as one of the premier PG’s in the game. If you handed a pair of NikeBallistic Forces to a Point Guard today,...
Larry Bird was the Yin to Magic’s Yang back in the 80’s/ 90’s. With the two battling it out with one another since College, it shows just how prevalent Conversewas as a brand as they were able to sign both Bird and Magic as the dual faces of the brand. While we don’t often see Converse Retro models in original form, it would be a treat to see the C...
Chris Mullen also wore the Nike Air Flight Lite alongside Scottie Pippen. With half the team laced up in Nike’s, we can all agree that this was only the beginning to Nike‘s reign in the sport industry… and they are still the top brand in the market today.
