Totally agree, one of the first shoes that I actually felt the zoom air working in the forefoot. Just hate when they retro shoes that were responsive back in the day, they go the NSW (Nike Sports Wear) route and just throw a non-responsive air bag in them. For the purpose of cutting cost and being cheap.The Pippen 4s are on the short list of my favorite shoes to have played in. Very good on-court.
Players like Pip and Mike worked with Tim Grover who was well ahead of the curve as far as lean and muscular. He even had Barkley lean and muscular at one point. I have his first training book from the 90's and this is all he stresses on. His newer book has the same principles but is much more advanced. Like Jalen Rose says all the time, players from today train, back in the 90's they worked out/lifted weights.90s nba players used to be lean and muscular af.
Bron and Malone are both 6'8 -270 and body types are totally different. Visual difference between a player who trains and one that works out.
