Inspired by the popular color palette from the 1996 NBA All-Star Game in San Antonio, Reebok and Packer Shoes released these “Remember the Alamo” Kamikaze IIs in a 2013 collaboration. Sporting a grey nubuck upper with teal, orange and pink accents on an icy sole, these serve as a stark contrast to Kemp’s traditional black, white and dark green colorways he wore as a member of the Seattle Supersonics. They would eventually restock during the 2015 All-Star Game in a collaboration with Mitchell & Ness, which featured a Kemp jersey and hat that was limited to just 40 pieces. The tongue features a cool reimagining of the Reebok logo with “Packer” in its place.

The “Carmine” Jordan VI, an OG colorway of the sneaker MJ wore en route to his first NBA championship in 1991, did not see a retro release until 2008, and even that came with a catch. The “Carmine” was released as a part of the Countdown Pack collection, and was accompanied by a black Jordan XVII. Finally in 2014, the classic OG received its own solo release, in all its red and white glory. Sporting a perforated nubuck upper, the red and white color blocking makes it one of the bolder colorways of the VI, and rumor has it that the iconic OG will be returning to retail in February 2021.

The aforementioned Kamikazes aren’t the only sneakers with ties to that popular All-Star Game in San Antonio. The only time Michael Jordan ever laced up a pair of OG “Columbia” Jordan XIs was during the 1996 All-Star Game. Accompanied by those teal fiesta-infused All-Star Game jerseys, MJ once again dominated en route to an All-Star Game MVP award. The sneakers would lay dormant in Nike’s archives until a 2001 release and once again until its 2014 release under the “Legend Blue” moniker. Inspired by his alma mater, the University of North Carolina, the “Columbia” XIs feature a white upper with white patent leather mudguard, Carolina blue accents on the Jumpman and an icy translucent sole.

The “For The Love of the Game” Jordan VII pays homage to Jordan’s time in Barcelona as a member of the Dream Team, in the form of a slight twist on the iconic “Olympic” Jordan VII colorway. Staying true to that OG colorway, the “For The Love Of The Game” version’s only noticeable addition is a heart logo stitched in gold on the side. That same year, another “For The Love Of The Game” colorway released–a UNC-flavored Jordan IX, paying homage to Jordan’s time at Chapel Hill. Two moments in his storied career when MJ was simply hooping for the love of the game.

When you hear that Diamond Supply Co. and Nike SB linked up, your mind automatically goes to their iconic 2005 “Tiffany” Dunk collaboration, and rightfully so. But Nike SB and the LA-based streetwear brand have actually collaborated quite a few times to great success over the years, including this “Black Diamond” Dunk from 2018. It was released alongside both white and yellow pairs as well, with this version featuring croc-textured overlays on a black leather upper. It’s finished off with a removable silver Swoosh which wraps around the heel, with the faintest bit of that Tiffany aqua Velcro popping underneath.

On the surface, this SB Dunk looks like a randomly stitched shrimp on a pretty simplistic black, red and white colorway. However, when you look closely at the tongue, you see a graphic of a fiery grill. It’s the Australian phrase “shrimp on the barbie,” which was made famous by Paul Hogan and his Australian tourism advertisements from the ’80s, which serves as the inspiration for the narrative within the shoe. Even the secondary laces feature a light pink color, further hammering down the “Shrimp” motif. Leave it to Nike SB to think outside the box.

Originally designed by Tracy Teague and released in 1996, this was the first signature sneaker of baseball legend Ken Griffey Jr. Featuring a black and white upper with freshwater teal and red accents throughout, the Air Griffey Max 1 was the beginning of a lucrative relationship between Griffey and the Swoosh. The Freshwaters would receive a retro release in 2009 and again in 2016, which can be featured in this listing, along with a custom “24EVER” sockliner. Sneakerheads will be happy to hear that there’s another retro in the works for 2021, just in time for the OG’s 25th Anniversary.

MJ and Scottie weren’t the only members of the Chicago Bulls with dope sneakers. “The Worm” Dennis Rodman, a lightning rod on and off the court, wore the Nike Air Shake Ndestrukt during the Bulls’ legendary 1995-1996 season. Here it is in all its OG glory, straight from 1996. Sporting a black nubuck upper with mesh construction, the Ndestruckt features an asymmetrical lacing system on the OG all-black colorway, topped off with a white Swoosh on the instep.

The Nike Air More Uptempo is one of the bolder Nike silhouettes of the 1990s, and that in itself is saying something about its aesthetic. So when a bold colorway comes along, it takes it to even further extremes, like this “Italy” version from 2018. Originally released as a part of a European city pack, this Italian-inspired Uptempo pays homage to Milan specifically with the Italian flag color-blocked along the upper. It also features a graphic of Italy stitched on the back of the shoe in white.
