Tonight begins the 2012/13 NBA Season and what better way to soak up the moment than with a fresh new pair of kicks.
Ray Allen is a part of the Miami Heat now and Jordan Brand has cooked up some nice PE’s using the Air Jordan XVI. The XVI hasn’t seen a Retro release other than the 2008 Countdown Pack so they are long overdue… cross your fingers.
The thing I enjoy most about NBA players wearing Retro Jordan’s on-court is that it shoves the ignorance back down the throats of those who think they know everything about hoop shoes. Yes, people can, will and have been rocking Retro Air Jordan’s on-court ever since they were 1st Retro-ed… I’d say they are basketball shoes over some lifestyle sneaker… only an overweight couch potato would disagree.
nice one nightwing!
A basketball sneaker will always be a basketball sneaker whether it’s a Retro or not.
Hey NW, a little off topic but have you ever played in the Air Flight One retros? I’m thinking of getting the White/Royal pair as my next pair to hoop in. Thanks!
Also, I think it’s cool that Ray and JB show a little love to these overlooked models. I’ve always been a fan of the how the XVI’s looked. I hope they retro the XIX soon. I’m betting you’ll love those once you get to them.
Love these shoes!!!
