While it’s not unheard of to take a turf trainer and adapt it to basketball purposes (the Nike Zoom Don comes to mind), it’s more common to see a kid wearing trainers on-court than to see designers create a full-on crossover. So that’s a big part of what makes the Jordan Alpha 3 Percent special, a model based on the 3 Percent turf shoe that hit retailers in 1999, and one that we saw Mike Bibby wearing in the Miami Heat backcourt during the 2011 NBA Playoffs. This pair pictured above is the same colorway Bibby was pictured wearing in away games in our NBA Feet column, and now you can grab them from select Jordan Brand retailers like FinishLine or get your pair on eBay.

Damn it! I forgot these were coming out. And I was just saying I was going to take a break on the shoe purchases for a minute. Oh well. Not about to sleep on these.
