Picture Request: Scottie Pippen P.E. Nike Air Foamposite Pro

I wonder if Scottie Pippen will show his sneaker collection on Real Housewives of Miami???  LOLz

I know in 1997 they advertised the Foamposite Pro in Sports Illustrated with his picture just like how they advertised Miles Simon of the Arizona Wildcats with the Blue  Foamposites on in the NCCA Tournament. But they give the players which shoe they should wear but the player doesnt have to wear it. Look at Amare and the Air Max Fly By and he wears the Huarache TR in the games instead of the shoe they tell him to wear.

mmm neon red with the P on the tab? and it's a one? i wonder if they'll ever retro it, with the pippen P on the heel, now that would be ill/weird, but the penny logo could work too for his miami days...
i swear i saw a pic of him wearing the pro's before, wasn't the best of pix though

I could've sworn he wore the Foam pros briefly early in the 97-98 season.

Maybe not.

I can definitely cosign them mentioning Pip in the eastbay.
