November 6th, 2009 by dooce Stored in: Athletes in Sneaks

This year, we have not seen as many retro basketball sneakers as usual. On the contrary, the new silhouettes have been taking early at least for the first part of the season. However, check out today’s Kicks On Court to see what retro Delonte West chose to sport.

In a losing effort against the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West laced up the timeless Nike Air Max2 CB94. We’re sure Charles Barkley felt honored while sitting in the TNT studios watching the game. If you recall, ‘Sir Charles’ wore this sneaker during the 1993-94 NBA season. It has often been said that the Air Max2 CB94 is one of the more comfortable sneakers ever. Click here to view more kicks worn by LeBron James, Deron Williams, Derrick Rose and others.

I know…I know… congratulating the New York Yankees is so out of the topic for me. However, I cannot contain my happiness for these guys as they won their 27^th Champoinship in their brand new stadium after going 8 years without even a single win.

As you have notice, the Yankee boys were wearing Nikes. Almost all of them have that familiar white swoosh on their sneakers. If you noticed CC Sabathia was wearing a nice crisp pair of Concord Air Jordan XI baseball cleats. Check the pictures out, how those nice sneakers made it on my list of must have sneakers as they were part of the history of Victory.
