Name that late 90's basketball shoe...vol. I finally get to play!

Allan Houston used to rock the predominantly white ones with the black (or deep blue) ankle area. Loved those joints. I believe Aaron Cooper designed the MZ3s with the hummingbird as an inspiration as I've read in that first Kicks magazine with KG on the cover.

MZ3 - 1997

I had the black/red's (again, when my parents refused to pay over $120 for some Jordans).

These were the lightest, most comfortable sneakers I had to ball in. They had flexible uppers and EXCELLENT traction. These have to be in my top 5 for favorite Nike's.

I just saw a pair goin for 85 but they were one size too small. I hated guys like Houston and Howard actually, lol. I'm just feeling nostalgic for these because it was easily the best game of my career. I wonder what condition a 14 year old shoe can be in even if its DS.

i think alonzo mourning used to have a super high cut version of those.


those bring back memories of the heat-knicks playoff battles.

I bought a pair a couple years ago.  The air units were still strong and intact.  Only thing that happened was the reflective piece came off.  I decided to gamble with the ankles and play ball in em.  One of the air bags deflated and the outsole started coming off.
