Not sure how much love Ewings get on NT, but growing up in NYC as a knicks fan in the late 80s to early 90s, Patrick was the man and the 33HI which is the pair with the strap on the back that I have a ton of pairs of, was the truth on the streets of NY....
All pairs are DS with box and tags except the one pair of blk-orange Focus 93 Playoff Player Sample never worn and the game used autographed 95-96 White-Orange model which was the final model produced by Ewing Athletics/Next Sports
For those that dont know, Ewing was the first player to create his own brand after him and Adidas parted ways in 1988. He created Ewing Athletics and licensed it to some small no name companies to produce, first Phoenix and then Next Sports who produced the majority of Ewing models. They were a midrange price point , with the lower end models about $50 and the game shoe he wore about $70. Towards the mid 90s the company got too big and was making a ton of ugly colors in too many models and lost its focus.
Id like to see if a current superstar would be able to do this with his own brand in the shoe game today, 20 years ago the shoe game was much different and there were many smaller companies doing well unlike today....
If anyone else has any Ewings, post em up...
