It's Gotta Be The Shoes
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Growing up in the era of the Air Jordans, I'm a big fan of basketball shoes. However, I'm not a big fan of paying $200 for basketball shoes. In fact, I've had the same pair of $80 shoes for about three years now (but they still haven't gotten me to the NBA, so maybe I'll splurge soon and see if that helps).
With the NBA All-Star game this weekend, espn.com has a feature of some of the shoes that will be worn/debuted during the game. Some of them look pretty sweet, but I still don't think they compete with the old school Jordans. Check out the complete lineup here. Somewhere around the XIIs, Nike decided to make the Jordans ugly. A marketing decision that I still don't understand.
My all-time favorite: the Air Jordan VI. Hard to believe these bad boys debuted in 1990. They still have a modern, sleek look. And the suede! Gotta love the black suede!
