The Nike Air Raids were originally released in 1992 but were then re-released in 2008. The original Nike TV advertisement with Tim Hardaway in it, shooting his patented \u201cknuckleball\u201d three pointer on a black top basketball court, surrounded by vivid colors and designs always stuck in my memory.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Released originally in the time when \u201cCross Colours\u201d was hot, the original shoe came in two versions; the \u201cAir Raid\u201d black and white version with criss crossing straps and the \u201cPeace Raid\u201d white shoe with Tribal African print in addition to the criss crossing straps. A tough shoe made for outdoor play.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>4) Adidas Men\u2019s Streetball Version 1.0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>I had never been a big Adidas <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/reebok-launches-the-pumpspective-and-q96-basketball-shoes\/\">basketball shoe<\/a> fan untiI I owned this shoe. The extremely thick sole was perfect for blacktop use. Also incredibly durable, I wore this shoe for about three years exclusively for playing ball outdoors and another two for multi-purpose use. The design lent itself well to ankle support and the shoe was relatively inexpensive. The 2.0 version was a good basketball shoe, but was not created specifically for the outdoor game.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>3) Air Jordan 1 Flight Mid<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This was also a favorite of mine because of its straight forward design compared to a lot of other Nike basketball shoes. You can just look at this shoe and know it\u2019s not screwing around, it can handle getting pounded all summer long, running up and down the court.<\/p>\n<p>If this shoe was a stock trader, it would\u2019ve sold all of its Enron stocks months in advance and would\u2019ve never got caught up by Bernie Madoff. It doesn\u2019t screw around and gives you support when you need it. What you see is what you get.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2) Larry Johnson\u2019s Converse \u201cGrand Mama\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>Remember \u201cReact Juice\u201d? Oh come on man, I can tell by looking at you you\u2019re over 30. Who you fooling? Of course you do, because you bought them after your L.A. Gear \u201cRegulators\u201d stopped inflating.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Possibly the best advertising campaign nobody remembers, the \u201cGrand Mama\u201d campaign starred Larry Johnson in drag as a grandma, dunking all over fools in a dress. Kevin Johnson also released his own shoe during this time, but the \u201cGrand Mama\u2019s\u201d were king. Even though they came out at least a decade before the rise of streetball culture to a wide audience, they were (somewhat) unintentionally the precursor to a lot of proceeding streetball shoes because of the almost bulky, yet stable feel.<\/div>\n<h2><strong>1) Reebok Pumps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>Speaking of killer marketing campaigns, Reebok should still be paying Dee Brown for pimping the Pumps during the 1991 Dunk Contest that he would ultimately win.<\/div>\n<p>Yes, the shoe is old school,\u00a0but it is thankfully being reissued by Reebok. Perfect for concrete or asphalt courts, Reebok Pumps were so cool they made me almost consider buying the Michael Chang signature tennis version. But then, I got into girls.<\/p>\n<p>Related NBA Content:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Muggsy Bogues Height: Would He Be \u201cOverlooked\u201d In Today\u2019s NBA?<\/li>\n<li>Top 10 Free Agent Signings In NBA History<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/shortest-nba-player-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shortest NBA Player Ever: Muggsy Bogues<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are the best streetball shoes ever.
