[…] Mike had Nike and Spike. That grew to include almost every person who had ever even seen the game of basketball. We were all MJ’s hype men! […]

In reply to Bob Eller. Yeah, I remember those shoes...but weren't they actually the Penny's...as in Anfernee Hardaway??? People forget how gifted Penny was as a player. The guy had a huge deal with Nike, tons of commercials, lil Penny, etc.

I had the Pump’s, the J’s, the Grant Hill Fila’s (haha) and more, but my favorites of all-time were the Pippen Foamposites. They recently rereleased them. Check out the 10′ Pippen Foamposites in Cough Drop. Woah!

In reply to Nate.

Haha, it’s tough isn’t it! I try to stay away from the shoe stores! See what the girls don’t realize is, us guys were into fashion way before they were, haha! Keep that on the DL though! 😉

Yeah, the tag is high no doubt, but man, nothing like slipping on a pair of Jordans and lighting some fools up! Haha! 😀

Thanks for the support Nate!

LA Gear Pumps…man, bringing back the sneaker wars days. 🙂 I remember when new balance was trying to get in the basketball shoe game. Didn’t go so well. 🙂

I had real thoughts about shipping you a pair of 3’s today, but was afraid it would ruin your flow when it comes to packing. I still think the next time you decide to play, it should be in a pair of Jordans. Seriously.

As far as the Jordan III’s go, I just wore out a pair of the retros of that style. Pimpin shoes no doubt!

It is a interesting point isn’t! 😀 Thanks!

As a recovered Jordan sneaker addict, I totally understand what you mean! I went into Foot Locker the other day with a friend and it was actually kind of hard to be there haha. The 13’s were there teasing me. The $160 price tag scared me a bit though. Great post man!

LA Gear Pumps all the way. 🙂

I always wanted a pair of Jordan’s growing up, but when I was young my Parents wouldn’t buy them and when I could afford them myself I didn’t play basketball enough. That said, Air Jordan III is where it was at. 🙂

Interesting point regarding the shoes/dream selling and the motivational speaker/dream selling.
