Name-Dropping: The Best “Signature” Sneakers By Association
Feb 22nd
Sometimes, a sneaker carries signature weight without official tagging. Case in point, this weekend’s Nike Air Flight One retro. The Penny Hardaway endorsed sneakers preceded his signature line but are still referred to as “Pennys” in the street. They’re not the only ones though as kicks worn by Kobe Bryant, Sir Charles, Scottie Pippen, and many others picked up name recognition without box branding. We look back at the best basketball kicks that should’ve been signatures and the players they are forever tied to.
Tim Duncan

Tim Duncan might not have put the ‘fun’ in fundamental, but he did put on for the Foamposite franchise. Prior to getting signatures from the Swoosh and later adidas, Timmy laced up the Nike Total Air Foamposite Max. The long name was shortened by consumers to the “Duncans”, and the name has since stuck.

Nike Lunar Safari
Feb 22nd
The Nike Lunar Safari pairs the classic design of the Air Safari 87 with today’s top technology. A black and white Fuse upper resides over a mango Lunarlon midsole, while the toe box and heel are accented by the print made popular on the OG. Look for these to drop this summer release.
