Basketball Sneakers

Nope. After looking i'm thinking they coudn't have been garnett's. Although I always thought they were. It had like a plactic orb thing that would go from green to blue in the light. It looked like this kinda.

This is the only thing that comes to mind with what you are trying to explain.

Is this the shoe you're talking about?

No, wasn't those. It was older. They were all black and almost a suede type material. Would have been around '93, probably Penny's first pair of Nikes.

How often do players switch between brands when it comes to shoe endorsements? I noticed KG started out with Nike (out of HS), then moved to Adidas when he was traded to Boston (IIRC).

Found them... Nike Air Up '94:

Before he actually had his signature line... That's why I couldn't find them. Mine were all black with a few purple touches here and there.

Depends on the contract deal... Not many do though.

I guess if the money is better with the newer deal, wouldn't see why not. Pretty sure Garnett was lucky too, that was right around the time the NBA was switching from Reebok to Adidas as their official apparel brand.

Kobe switched from Adidas to Nike. I thought some of his adidas shoes were awesome.

Crazy 8's, which are currently in stores again.

One of my friends in HS had these Kobe Two's.

I've got a pair of these, love them.

I had a shoe, I believed to be KG's that had a blue orbish thing on the side. After much googling I cannot find said shoe. Somewhere in the '97 '98 range.


Edit: It was black had like a glassy blue/green orb thing on the outside more towards the toe (i think). Not sure if Nike or Adidas. I think the bottom was blue. There was also a little rubber nubs on the outside where the sole wraped up around toe area.

Was it was these?... Nike Air Flightposite. They were a Garnett shoe:

Jesus, I'd drop Adidas too if they showed me these fucking moon boots.

The number of friends I knew who had those in Jr. High...

Had a another friend that owned the whole line of T-Mac addidas (with the three strips going over the front). I think they came in red, white, and blue. He'd mix and match sometimes when we played. Looking back

Those shoes were comfortable as hell though.

T-MAC II's (never wore them personally)
