""A yo I loved the Bo Jacksons......."


          

the orange and blue"--Noriega

Remember back in the day (and sometimes now) we would call shoes by the name of the athlete that rocked them instead of the actual name? What kind did you sport? What kind do you sport now? Back in '93 I had the Barkley's-- all black with the red and blue in em'. Also had the Air Maestro aka Gary Payton's or John Stockton's depending on who you liked best. Countless pairs of Jordans. The first Fila Grant Hill joints. All colors of the Air Huraches (sp?) also known as the first Deion's. Then I had the actual Deion's with the red, black and gold mesh flap. I even had the Dee Brown's with the basketball pump on the tongue. Today I pretty much rock retro Jordans. Got all the Nike Kevin Garnett's. Prolly grab the T-Mac's in a couple of colors. Holla back!!!

I made my high school squad get 'em. Loved the pump jawn. Got the crowd hype when fools hit the pump before bangin' it in the pep rally!

Oh, I had the Isiah's & Mark Agguire's too, when all the teams came out with the converse jawns.

Never could afford Jordans. Shit, still can't. Them shits is $200 dollars.

The black suede joints.

My hottest sneakers I ever owned.
The Nike Hirachi's 92. The white and gold joints. or the Nike ACG joints circa 1990 the black/grey joints with the light green stripe.

Old School
Adidas Top Tens
Air Force 1 - they have reached all time classic status now. But when they first came out, they were the ish for real.
Reebok Classics - They were so hot when they first came out in 89/90.
New Balance - 995/996 All time classic in DC.
Adidas Superstar - The high top joints with the red stripe. HEAT!!!

CAn't forget about the Nike Safari joints. I couldn't get him because my man had them. But they were hot. The brown joints.

In response to Reply # 7


          

I saw Patrick Ewing once, and he was wearing the Ewings. He was waiting for his limo out in front of National Airport (NOT Reagan Airport) and I was with my family, staring at the ground because I was 13 and embarassed to be seen with my parents, and I saw these enormous pair of Patrick Ewing endorsed sneakers right next to me. I thought, "Damn, those are some loud shoes. I don't think I'd wear those unless I was paid to." Then, I looked up and there was Patrick Ewing, sporting his Ewings and waiting for a ride.

I nodded at him like I was cool and would keep his secret, and he seemed to understand. So, it's worth noting that he did in fact wear the Ewings in his free, off camera time.

when they first came out... I'll admit that they were a real fruity looking sneaker. It was like an off pink on the heel, I can't even describe the color, with little designs and they were like mid-size joints. This was back when dude looked like Whitesnake on the court.

they were huge and had that big air pocket. I still really wanted them though. The first Pippens were pretty nice too, and they were only around $85. My favorite, besides Jordans, were the Barkleys. I think they were midtops, Blue and red, they had the air pocket too.

(i'm basically a nike guy) man, those were the days. i need to pick out my 'fro on this post.

25. "Webber's circa 1995"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

This was around the time Air Max 95 came out. Webber's shoe had the air bubbles as well. I had them in the black and blue colors, with the #2 on the Achilles. They kinda looked like the Jordan's at the time, the one with all his accomplishments on the sole of the shoe. Same style.

I also had the above mentioned sneakers: Barkley's 92, Jordan's 88-91, and the Ewings. The Ewing's were actually good skate shoes because their soles were mad thick. Addidas reissued a pair just recently, I think they call them something else. They're in Knick colorways and everything.
