The original Dream Team in 1992 didn't just mark the first appearance of American NBA stars in the Olympics — it was when the Team USA shoe game really jumped off. And not just on the performance side, either — Michael Jordan wore USA Triaxes off the court, and lots of guys sported Team USA Air Force 1s. But it was the on-court shoes that really shone in the red, white and blue (and gold). Check the gallery for Team USA's Best Sneakers.

    Those Nike Air More Uptempo worn by Scottie Pippen were from the 96' Olympics. Diesel wasn't even in the league summer of 92, homes.

    No USA Kobe V? Or United We Rise. List needs reconstruction. Some shoes are too low so far as ratings and some are far too high.
