Any basketball and sneaker fans remember Magic Johnson and the MVP brand in 1996?
I recall he wore that brand when he came back for the remainder of the 1995-96 season. It stood out because he no longer wore Converse at that juncture. I recall he did a signing at some store in the L.A. area around that time trying to promote the brand. I know the brand didn't last long. I truly never knew it was his company.
I admit I always saw them as some knockoff Jordan XI ever since 1996. They looked like a cross between some bootleg XI and some Fila. Coincidentally, Fila plagiarized some Jordans in the past. I also remember seeing an online post poking fun at that.
Anyone else think those MVP shoes resembled a poor man's version of the XI?
