The pair that started my obssesion !

Too many to name lol... Middle school days I have to say.. Reebok 'Kemp' Kamikazes, Shaq's first shoe (Insta-pump), Jordan Playoff 8's, Nike Air force Max (Charles Barkley/ Fab 5 kicks), Nike Air Up (Penny/Pippen), and FILAs Grant Hill line. These were all equally ill to me and were copped around the same time in my life. I'd have to say the Kamikazes and Grant Hills started it all for me tho...the designs were so tight and original back then.
