Wanna know why Gilbert Arenas is the Sneaker Champ? He doesn’t only wear the latest releases, but also some older classics (and certifiable heat) that you will only find in a true sneakerhead’s closet. Whether he’s been saving his gems for years to break out on the right day or if he’s amassing a collection right now is irrelevant to the fact that Gilbert’s been presenting us with sneaker haymakers that have left us dazed and wondering “Did that just happen?”. The latest in Gilbert’s NBA Feet selections is the Air Jordan XI Low ‘Snakeskin’, a Retro Jordan that dropped back in 2001 (before Arenas turned pro). Arenas provided a solid 21+ minutes off the bench, scoring 9 and accounting for 5 baskets with his handy assists. Check out Arenas and his Jordans in action after the jump and let us know what you think. via Yahoo!.

I think he knows he gets this exposure… he pulling out all the stops in his colection
February 9th, 2011 at 11:19 am
I am just . . . in shock. No words. I mean, next to some David Robinson Nike Pumps, a pair of chancletas, or some McFlys, what other heat can he pull out to beat snakeskins!?

Arenas is so desperate for attention that he has to wear different shoes just to get his name mentioned in a print article since no one else will even cover him
February 9th, 2011 at 11:29 am
move them ugly ass 11's out the way so i can see those shoes dwight is wearing :-p

Gil is a savage for wearing 10year old shoes to ball in…in the NBA!! I would not even hoop in those on a local court. He's just asking for the bottom to rip off during a fast break. I get a lil nervous rockin my OG Space Jams casually when I rarely wear them. Nice kicks tho Gil…

February 9th, 2011 at 12:28 pm
Also love how all the d bags on here love Arenas for being so cool by wearing badass shoes. I will quote the great Billy Hoyle.
Billy Hoyle: A black man would rather miss than look bad.

I still view him as an idiot for keeping guns in his locker, but I have to give him his props on his sneaker collection.
February 9th, 2011 at 1:12 pm

February 9th, 2011 at 1:32 pm
Would the NBA let him wear Eminem IV's?
February 9th, 2011 at 1:49 pm

February 9th, 2011 at 2:19 pm

February 9th, 2011 at 3:33 pm

Shut your pie hole wit that racist shit, who gives a fuck, He's rocking heat & the Magic won. Mind you, you were quoting a fictional character. Idiot!
February 9th, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Yawn
February 9th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
Gil is a real sneakerhead…pulling out some classic XIs with yellowed sole and all! None of this new crap like hypebeast Drake…get some OGs or black box Js Drake!
February 9th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Im surprised they didnt fall apart from balling in them. 10 yrs old and sustaining the up and down play of a NBA player…impressive. wild Gil is working on that new show deal something heavy no?
February 9th, 2011 at 7:57 pm
i agree with both your comments the ppl on this site are pathetic praising arenas for wearing certain shoes but arenas is nothing more then a bench player
February 9th, 2011 at 8:51 pm
I GUESS ARENAS GOTTA GET SOME TYPE OF ATTENTION, CUZ HE SHOW AINT BALLIN DIS YEAR.
February 9th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
I hope he rolls his ankle
February 9th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
It's even more jaw-dropping because he's actually hoopin in em. it's not just him rockin em on the streets (pre-game), nahh his shit is all during the game.
February 10th, 2011 at 12:20 am
which is how its suposed to be..hes just rich.

This site is called SNEAKERNEWS.COM!!! folks..i thought the posts are about SNEAKERS and the
culture so why are some dudes talkin' about everything but Gilbert's kicks? it's obvious that he
respects the sneaker culture and by rockin' heat on the court it's a nod to everyone who collects and
rocks fly shit.
