www.DreAllDay.comWow, I remember this one so clearly: Late 2000. My team at
PSU Abingtonhad practice on a Saturday morning and it was snowing. I drove my '88
Cavalier to the gym and waited in my still-running car for the coaches
to show up with the keys to the building.
This was back when I would
rock my hoopin sneaks en route to playin ball, so when I hopped out of
the Cav, my feet immediately drew attention from teammates.
"Ahh, you got the 'Boings'?!"

The
Nike Shox BB4, b.k.a. the "Vince Carters" back then. I was in love with
these shoes (exemplified by my wearing them until they literally fell
apart 4 years later). The look, the feel, the image of being like VC
(who was The Man among NBA Men at the time), all pulled me in, and
there was no struggle to do so.
Ever since I donned the Nike
Hyperdunks last July, I had only 2 pairs of bball shoes I'd like to
wear when (if ever) resting the Hyperdunks: the Nike
Flightposite (with the hard space-like outer shell and zip-hidden laces) and the BB4s.
I found out today through
SLAM that the VCs are being re-released on April 18. At last, my love has come along.
