When you look at the range of basketball sneakers in the market today we can see that the field is dominated by lines being released under the name of some of the sports biggest stars. Names such as Jordan's, Kobe's, LeBron's dominate the basketball sneaker market today and in the past starts such as Penny Hardaway, Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd have also entered their own names to the offering respectively. With so many stars of both past and present making a statement by launching sneaker lines it only seems right that we respect the man who went there first in 1989 and if the first re-release is anything to go by, then I think we'll be seeing some very cool Ewing's appearing back on the shelf soon.
The first to make it's triumphant return for Ewing is the 33 Hi. being released in four different colourways the 33 is for me, everything a basketball sneaker should be. Hi topped, colourful and chunky, the 33 manages to showcase the fashion influences of the past whilst also fitting in well with the range of sneakers we see today. Of the four colourways my favourite has the blue and orange design, representing the 15 seasons Ewing spent with the New York Knicks. other colourways include a simple black and white, red with black and white accents and another Knicks inspired pair with a white base and blue and orange details.
With the 33's being re-released I can't help but hope that this could mean more of the Ewing classics could soon be making a return such as the baslines, centres and the key mids. to find out more on the new Ewing releases I've posted a few links below and also a few pics of the 33's to get you excited.
