"Buffalo Generation" --Air Pippen First Edition

Name of the sneakers: Air Pippen issue year: 1997 Main Technology: Total Max Air all palm air cushion, wearing players: recommendation of Peter Peng, the first pair of personal signature sneakers for sale price: the selling price at that time was 1250 yuan. This year, a number of classic sneakers were re engraved from Air Flight 95, Air Flight 96 to the golden wind one, and then to the front to introduce Air Penny 2 and 3 to be re enacted.

"Buffalo" Pippin's first pair of personal signature sneakers, Air Pippen, will also be released at the end of this year.

When he joined NBA in 1987, he was selected by the Seattle supersonic team in the first round and then switched to the bulls. Pippin spent 11 years in the bulls. After Jordan retired, Pippin moved to the rockets and spent 1 years with Barkley and Olajuwon. In 1999, he moved to the open field, and after 4 years in Portland, Pippin ended his career in 2003 after returning to the Bulls 1 years later.

In the 17 years of her career, she has been in the all star game seven times, and has won the 1994 MVP, six championship, dream one, three team members and one of the greatest 50 players in NBA history.

Although she has been wearing Nike shoes for 17 years, the Nike Air Pippen series has only gone through 5 generations.

But a lot of Nike sneakers at the foot of pepper are a landscape in the history of basketball shoes.

From the earlier Air Dynamic Flight, Air Uptempo, Air More Uptempo (we used to become Air big pad), Air Max Max and so on.

In 1997, when the Chicago bulls captured their first championship, peel finally had his first pair of personal signature shoes Air Pippen, and the Air Pippen series was born.

The most impressive year was the fifth match with the Jazz finals. Jordan almost collapsed because of food poisoning, but still helped the team overcome the jazz by 3 points.

After winning the victory, Jordan, who stepped on Air Jordan 12, fell head in the arms of Pippin, Pippin, holding Jordan out of the stadium. It was once touched by countless fans, and this is also one of the most classic scenes of the Bulls Dynasty.

At that time, Pippin's foot was Air Pippen on Pippin's first pair of signature shoes Air Pippen, the first time appeared the words of PIP and Logo, and the two "P" of the heels were sandwiched with Obrien cup Logo to become the eternal classic of Pippin signature shoes. Unfortunately, this Logo was not retained, and then the 4 pairs of signature shoes could only find the letter P and Pippin's handwritten signature Logo.

The Air Pippen sneakers and outsole are almost the same as those of Air Max Uptempo 3.

The use of Total Max Air palmtop air cushion: 3/4 full palm air cushion distribution also provides a good guideline for the exposed air cushion in the following years: the air cushion of the sneaker is made up of a whole rear pallet air cushion and the open air cushion of the whole palm, but the two air cushions are not interlinked in the middle.

Such an air cushion can easily affect the movement speed of players on the playing field, and this causes the whole shoe body to be very high.

This also caused the subsequent Air Pippen on the foot of the leather tent. There was no 3/4 full palm air cushion. At that time, leather felt that the air cushion of 3/4 was too thick, so that the feet were too high from the ground, which seriously affected the speed of starting. All the Nike requirements were removed, so the Air Pippen you saw was very different from the commercial version.

There are two similar "33" decorative shoes on both sides, which is a significant sign of the signature shoes of pepper.
