NEWS: The 20 Greatest Sneakers in Georgetown Basketball History

2012-02-10T16:01:00.005-05:00

One of the most prestigious schools on and off the court, Georgetown's star power on the hardwood is tough to match. Although the basketball team has been around since 1907, sometimes it feels like the Hoyas were born right around the time Nike starting taking things over with its timeless kicks. It all started with one of the greatest collegiate coach and player pairings in John Thompson and Patrick Ewing, went on to a pair of 7-footers to bring in the 90's, and then one of the quickest guards to ever play the game, Allen Iverson. For the past 30 years the squad has been bringing the ruckus, cutting down nets in some of the trillest special edition Nikes and Jordans along the way — they were one of the schools to break in the brand-new Air Jordan 2012s on Feb. 6th, 2012.

News: The 25 Best Nike Air Max Sneakers Of All-Time

2012-01-19T07:36:00.002-05:00

From the Air Max 87 all the way to the Air Max 2012, Nike's had our back (or better yet, our feet) in terms of good looking comfort. Nike's Air Max Technology employs the type of cushioning at the sole of the shoe that could only be produced by the Earth's most valuable combination of gases — Air. However, getting consumers to understand that there is air cushioning and absorbing impact as they stride can be quite difficult; it is for this very reason that Tinker Hatfield decided to literally expose the "guts" of the sneaker, after being inspired by the transparent nature of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France. Thus, not only is Nike Air Max Technology comfortable, it's also aesthetically pleasing.

The Nike Air Max lineage runs deep and it comes in many forms. Whether a sneaker implements Air Max, Air Max2, Total Air or Tuned Air, the concept and appearance is similar and easily recognizable. Upon learning that the latest addition to the Air Max family would be dropping soon — the Nike Air Max 2012 — we took a look back at all of our favorite sneakers that use Air Max Technology and tried to decipher where they stood within the test of time. The result? The 25 Best Nike Air Max Sneakers of All-Time...To check out the list CLICK HERE

"I am not a role model." With those words, Philadelphia 76ers power forward Charles Barkley entered millions of living rooms, sneakers squeaking and elbows flying.

Still, over the course of his career, Sir Charles went through plenty of signature shoes — his own, and those of his golf buddy, Michael Jordan. Now a commentator on TNT and NBA TV, he tells some of the stories that went with them on the new show "Open Court", dicing it up with C-Webb, Kenny and Shaq.

The more you look deeply inside, the more depth you’ll find, and purple and neon accent hits help to emphasize the blacklit look, while reflective 3M side panels go in the opposite direction if the lighting conditions are just right.
