I used to go to House of Hoops in Harlem and pick up all sorts of cool PE's. I always wanted a pair of Rip Hamilton and the Steve Nash Trash Talks but never did. Awesome kicks.
I absolutely hate IX-XIII. I could not see myself ever owning any colorway of those 5 silhouettes. I will never understand the popularity of the XI especially. I get it, it was the 72-10 season, but it just looks so awful to me. It always breaks my heart that my favorite player of all time, Iverson, wanted Reebok to basically copy that sneaker for his first signature line.

You don't like the XI?!? I don't know if we can be friends anymore, lol.
It's THE MOST ICONIC shoe he has worn besides the I.
I admit that I do not like the IX and only because he never wore them, only in baseball. The 10 was a brick but looked good. The XI is just an amazing looking shoe. The XII Taxi colorway is great and the Flu games are pure fire. The XIII is one of my faves too. Flint's, Playoffs, Chutneys and CP3 version are all the colorways that I wear of that one.
I too loved Iverson but would never wear one of his kicks. He loved the XI. He wore them in college.

Hate them. The wavy patent leather that rides so damn high on the upper is so jarring and clunky. I’ve always been a much bigger fan of sharp cuts rather than curvy/wavy, which might explain why the run of III, IV, and V are my favorites and I don’t like the pairs from the 2nd three-peat that have more rounded and curvy looks to them.

You would be one of the few people that dislikes the XI.
Crazy talk I tell ya, crazy talk.
Oh and I am not a fan of the V all that much, lol.

I know. But hey, it saves me a lot of money not liking them!
It’s so hard for me to pick between I, III, IV, and V, but if you put a gun to my head? I’d have to go V. The shark teeth are such an amazing design feature.

That design was based off the Tuskegee airmen planes. Tinker was a genius.

Yeah seriously. He may have created my 3 favorite sneakers of all-time in back-to back-to back years.
Anyone know if those Wizards IIIs were ever released to the public? I would kill for those to get a retro. The True Blue IIIs are probably my 2nd favorite sneaker behind the Grape Vs and I think I like the gold accents even better than the red.

No they never did. I like that gold jumpman too.
Perhaps we will see some releases of some Wizards sneakers now that it’s approaching the 20th anniversary of his years with them?

Most of the things I've sold I did at peak time so I made out.
