Left in no-man’s land after Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson both retired, Scottie Pippen played the lockout-shortened 1999 NBA season with the Houston Rockets. Trevor Ariza could have stayed with the (soon to be back-to-back?) NBA Champion LA Lakers, but instead signed with H-Town and finds himself both figuratively and somewhat literally in Pippen’s shoes. Here are two Nike Air Max A Lot Trevor Ariza PEs, the black pair of which looks quite similar to the first ones to hit retail, plus custom embroidery on the heel and a bred sole. For the ‘home’ look, Ariza got something totally unique in white and red, which if released, would be one of the best Max A Lots. Stick with Sneaker News to see if Nike Basketball releases these and transforms the player exclusive sneaker into this decade’s replica jersey.
