Top 5 Kicks that would be worn if 9/11 was during the NBA season.
5. Kobe II "Flags"
I was never a fan of the Kobe II but the smartest thing Adidas did for that shoe was try to cover it up with something noone would question especially during that time. They had a huge canvas to work with even though they were shaped like bricks.
4. Nike Air Force 180
Sir Charles completely dominated during the Olympics in these just bullying opponents. The first Olympics were it seemed to be a conscious effort by all brands to supply special PE's for the each player from Stockton on up to MJ. Also marked the mass NBA Nike takeover with 7 out 12 going with the Swoosh....yes even Stockton was down!
3. Air Jordan V - Melo PE
Never seen anyone rock these but simple and plan....classic. Melo might get the best PE's.
2. Air Jordan IV and VII "Golden Moments"
I know neither of these sneakers are red, white or blue but the significance of the USA dominating in basketball as far as the world is concerned could make these be brought out.
1. Air Jordan IV "Olympic"
Hands down the best option. Just an historical shoe in that it was the first themed Air Jordan shoe and the first time MJ had a PE with a number other than "23". Now we see themed kicks for every holiday.
