10 Dope Signature Sneakers You Don’t Know About
Reebok Wink DMX
Player/athlete: Steve Francis
Year: 2001
"It's the hottest thing to touch the earth since I was born." Such went the Steve Francis quote attached to his Wink DMX, the shoe he'd wear in his third season. This may have been a slight exaggeration. Overlasted and metal accented, the Wink DMX was flashy and short-lived - kind of like Stevie Franchise's NBA career.
Nike Air Zoom T-Bug Flight
Player/athlete: Tim Hardaway
Year: 1998
Back when I worked at SLAM, I used to see Tim Hardaway every time he played at MSG. And every time, the ritual was the same: I'd hand him the newest issue, and he'd flip straight to the sneaker section in the back. As befitting a Chi-town native, Timmy was into kicks. So when he finally was rewarded with a signature shoe, the Zoom T-Bug Flight (which was something of a Zoom Flight 98 takedown), it had to be a crowning achievement. And when we ran it in the mag, he knew about it.
