#17. Nike Air Zoom GP

PLAYER: Gary Payton
YEAR: 1998
• Gary Payton may have been one of the biggest trash-talkers to ever play the game, but his first signature model was far from garbage. The Nike Air Zoom GP featured a buckle that wrapped over the laces for a snug fit, and the unforgettable oval-shaped gradient would go on to appear on other famed Nike silhouettes.
