Entry #30 - AF25 Pujols Edition

We're flashing back to the 2007 season, when Albert Pujols was sporting custom Air Force 25 shoes. Pretty much every picture of him wearing the shoes are the cleated versions, while this particular pair here were specially made for flat artificial turf like astroturf (which is used pretty much nowhere Albert played the entire season.)

Entry #29 - Mile High Majesty

Football's back! A look at one of Nike's early attempts at licensed NFL goods...

Entry #26 - Hoyas Nike legend

If you have a copy of Scoop Jackson's fantastic book Sole Provider, turn to page 32.

You'll see Patrick Ewing is wearing the Nike Legend - on his shirt. John Thompson and Nike teamed up for a sweet moment of athletic outfitting, giving the Hoyas little Legend shoes on their sleeves.

NCAA made it a limited time promotion.
