In college sports when it comes to winning there is usually one thing that goes hand in hand with raising the banners - tradition. Over the past 30 years not too many teams have upheld the same type of program full of honor, Final Four experiences, and some serious heat on the court as the Arizona Wildcats. Nike made a pretty smart move locking the ‘Cats up when college sponsorships started happening in the 1980s. We take a look back at the classic Nike signature kicks, the Jordans, and the special hookups the Wildcats received – engineered to the exact specification of championship athletes. From the early 1990s, the ’97 championship team of Bibby, Simon, and Terry to the present – we take you through The 25 Greatest Sneakers in Arizona Basketball History.

how is there no mention of the black patent Air Flight 89 that Arenas rocked in 2000?

Great article, and great list, but shouldn't the jordans in multiple colorways just be one entry? That way you wouldn't have to ignore one of the most iconic college hoops shoes of all time, that Hibachi rocked 15+ years after their genesis, the Nike Dunk St. Johns colorway. Would post a link but this darned submission tool keeps flagging it as spam
