Yeah, it has been a minute since KICKS been out. I still remember that first magazine.
A.I. had crazy buzz with his first shoe, The Air JOrdan 1 is the only shoe really at that level, where folks were just like i gota get these. As far as a player releasing thier first shoe in there rookie year.
Those 2 stand alone. really those 2 are the only ones that signed career contracts or whatever with theier companies, just having 1 signature every season they played.
i think lebron only did like a 10 year deal or something with NIKE, with multiple other spin-off shoes too.
THe Air Jordan 1 & Reebok Question 1 are Legendary, cause they look perfect, the questions feel great & you can really mix/match any color from any team with them. A.I. is the only other player to get close to MJ as far as The tightest number of Signature shoes. Iverson’s have not been as hot lately tho. Neither was MJ again till the 23’s
But Yeah, some of these issues were epic. T-Mac has had some heat, now & again (i like the T-mac 5’s, which i still have a new pair of). , KOBE had 1 or 2. The one that looked like a car, & that pair he wore in like his 3rd year i think. that had the 3 big stripes across it, & the pods at the bottom, it just looked crazy, but like a bball shoe.
D-wad has had some to being with Converse.
Lebron last year with the Zoom Lebron 5’s was big.
they should have waited this year tho. It’s just not the same/as big as it was tho.
The new lebrons are okay, they remind me of the griffey’s from years back. The Kobe’s aren’t that hot either. & JB just screwed things up releasing the signature shoe in January now. WTF!
Anyway, I’m gona check this out. What they should have put in this new issue.
the air jordan 25 or 2010 (since the concept picks (very hot shoe) (it would kill the AJ 2009’s, sorry)
T-Mac new shoe
A.I. new shoe, (looks really crazy, maybe not a good crazy either)
Lebron Shoe
Kobe Shoe
Derrick Rose
Al Harrington new shoe (got the super high ones in their, put the affordable ones in their too)
Chris Paul
Carmelo Anthony new shoe (with his colors being similar to UNC, JB should have designed a straight classic by now)
Dwayne WADE new shoe (wih JB)
Shaq & whoever else, i may be forgetting.
not bashing the today’s shoe styles, but ya’ll remember some of them past issues. that had shoes you remeber. like them shaq hypnotize or just crazy designs, the air jordan 11-13 or 14. just destint designs.
