One of the better shoes nike has ever made or run with. Sheeds, there were about 5 of them. First, if I’m not mistaken, the white (low), then the black, then another one, then the red. After that, there was a duotone or two, but by this point I had moved up north and it was harder to follow. Nike put a lot of time and money into the Sheed line, and a lot of extras. We’d see lows, monochrome. He’d wear mostly pistons colorways, highs. But how fly did they look on gettyimages or in SLAM?Out of all the things Rasheed Wallace was known for - big man, would foul out, would get T’d up, took that game to OT last year with a 1940s grandma-belly shot from half court, can have a decent work ethic, was a Tarheel (and a good one), is sometimes motivated, but not always, is always important (the Pistons can’t even beat the bucks without him), he will shut down Chris Bosh like it’s going out of style, he got sent away from portland for being a bad influence (in the 90s!), the NBA dress code was instituted because of him, his championship wrestling belt and his garbage bag, he sat out a quarter of the regular season because of technicals, he does not have one regional Detroit ad during the many, many league pass games I copped last year, the thing on his head - the most impressive is that he has played his entire career, college, Portland, Detroit and presumably high school, in Nike Air Force 1s.Do you know what that means? It is impossible to convey what kind of a feat this is. I did this for a weekend, I am quite thin, and I could barely make it to work the next week. After a game in Taiwans (that’s right) and a game in these same black sheeds, I was feeling the effects of a shoe as old as I am. My knees were shattered, my feet felt like loose bones in a bag, my back was tight and I had the shittiest kneck. These shoes have no support and very very little air. That a big fellow - and sheed is about 7′3, 500 lb - can pivot and shimmy, shoot, post up (well..not that last one) and lead the league in winshares*, in shoes designed more for being a hustler Barry than playing hoops, makes the rest of his life not seem like a New Yorker article.I wore this very pair on the train and got one of the best sneaker related compliments of my life (wealthy dowager). But after balling my spindly frame felt like shaq on Thanksgiving. Sheed is the guy, he does it himself. He’d be into that auction title, check that out. These shoes sell themselves, despite serious hindrance. This is why I will leave the room when the spurs come on but I will watch Pistons basketball on a sunny day.
