Entry #69 - Big Sexy


Here's the Shox Fuse model two time all-star Richie Sexson was using while with the Mariners in 2008.  Looks like he might've blacked out the Mariner colors after he hooked up with the Yankees...

Entry #65 - Zoom TR Guard

This is a sample of the Zoom TR Guard, which I'm not so sure was ever sold in the U.S. Only place I've ever seen them for sale is a couple shoestore sites in Europe...

Entry #63 - Air Max 97 Samples

Samples are interesting to me because I like seeing ideas that were being toyed with, and design changes that were made before the shoe released. Kinda gives you tiny a glimpse into the design process.

On this pair of Air Max 97, it looks like the designers were thinking about putting the Swoosh behind the screen on the side of the shoe, rather than over it. Bottom pic shows the inside of a regular retail Air Max 97, for comparison purposes...
