Nike Air Trainer Max
Episode: #26 'Did the Earth Move for You?', #27 'The Mother of All Battles', #29 'PSAT Pstrory', & #33 'She Ain't Heavy'
Year (of Sneaker): 1991
The Fresh Prince worked it out in the Nike Air Trainer Maxes, surviving his first earthquake and outscoring Carlton in the PSATs. You'd think these kicks were his lucky charm. The shoes also proved to be versatile as Will used the black/white colorway to throw some street cred into his formal wear when he took out Gina... we mean Kathleen (played by Tisha Cambell-Martin) and hoops up in the silhouette as well.

i was surprised Will rocked the air force high instead of the Jordan VIII. if ur looking for a double strap shoe, the VIII's get my vote! Ill column by the way, B!

Y'all considered doing something about how we browse through these photo editorials? I mean, the subject matter leaves little to be desired but having the whole page reload as I click through.. and again if I want to go back... you know? But like I said, I look forward to these sneaker guide features.

Dope, now how about one for Zach Morris

Not to dickride, my NO ONE today is as half as fresh as Will was back then. Will was era-defining fresh. No one but Will could pull off most of these looks. Not even the Cool Kids or Wale or any other rapper up on shoe game or gear can hold a candle to Will's effortless swag. This was back when there was still originality in the game. Nowadays everybody wants to look and dress the same.

real talk. and he was doing his swag thang when no one else was. dude was a trend setter.

are you forgetting kanye west and before both of them michael jackson who probably inspired will
iamintro September 19th, 2011 at 04:18 AM
kanye is a trend setter too but hes wasnt really back in the day so i didnt mention him. Michael Jackson was too but his style was way different.

Now you guys need to do "DeWayne Wayne" from a Different World. He rocked some serious heat...
Schnitzel November 11th, 2011 at 05:10 AM
I was just about to say that, my boy.
Michael G January 30th, 2012 at 06:42 AM
nah Dewayne Wayne didn't really rock that much heat all he wore was Jordan 3s and 4s half the time they were ragged-looking like he really played ball in them...Ron had the heat; he actually used to switch up shoes
