A Closer Look at the Ewing Athletics June Retro Collection

It’s undeniable that the first NBA Draft Lottery in 1985 was groundbreaking to say the least because it changed the course of several NBA teams who had chances at the #1 overall pick. Ewing Athletics commemorates that day with a special makeup of the Ewing 33 Hi inspired by the 30th Anniversary of the 1985 Draft Lottery. The shoe immortalizes this legendary moment with an all-white leather upper, which represents that very lucky envelope awarded to the New York Knicks in improbable fashion, and the subtle hints of red and royal along with the addition of a “frozen” outsole make this shoe a standout model.

Ewing Athletics isn’t stopping with just the draft day pair; the brand continues its homage to the legacy of Patrick Ewing with another release of an original colorway in the “Triple White”, which features this fashionable retro sneaker in the contemporary trend of all white that’s been such a dominant force. The “Triple White” and “Lucky Envelope” are set to release as part of the brand’s June Retro Collection, so enjoy an an exclusive look here as we await confirmed release date info.
