Sneaker Head

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a big sneaker head. Not as big as
others in my family, but a head no less. The newest addition the
collection is this special, limited edition version of the Pro Leather
1976 Converse shoe that honors the 1972 USA Men's Basketball Team. The
shoe uses material similar to what would have been on the feet of the
players at the time with graphics inspired by the 1972 Games. The back
of the shoe features gold imprints to rightfully honor the '72 team with
the gold that was stollen from them by the Russians and and the score
keepers. To this day the 12 silver medals the team feels it doesn't
deserve sit in a vault in Switzerland, unclaimed.
