@bataheritage is proud to relaunch with Wilson the John Wooden sneaker, one of the most iconic products that the brand has carried in its 124-year history. Wilson and Bata partnered in the early 1970s to develop sports shoes, including the John Wooden sneaker. It was a tribute to one of America’s greatest basketball coaches and the only person to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame both as a player (1960) and a coach (1973). Nicknamed the ‘Wizard of Westwood’ , John Wooden won 10 NCAA national championships between 1964 and 1975 as head coach at UCLA— including a record seven in a row. Wooden retired at the age of 64 after a 27-year UCLA coaching career, and in 2009 was voted the "Greatest Coach of All Time” by The Sporting News magazine. #bataheritage #johnwooden #nba #halloffame #ucla #doverstreetmarket #beams #webster #haddonpr #wilson #basketball (at DOVER STREET MARKET)
