20. L.A. Gear Catapult 

Player: Karl Malone

Year: 1992 

MJ might have been the most famous pair to rock a pair of L.A. Gears — Jackson, not Jordan — but Karl Malone was balling hard in his signature kicks early in the '90s. The shoe was considered extremely comfortable and held up on the court well. The design was pretty dope too, maybe too nice since Nike filed a lawsuit against them due to L.A Gear's consistent likeness to Nike models.
