So, which NBA big man's kicks are you just aching to purchase? Don't worry, we'll wait. Got nothing? Well, that wasn't always so, as back in the '80s and '90s there were a number of seven-footers who made their make on the footwear industry. And with the return of the adidas Mutombo nearing, Sneaker News decided to delve back into the history of big men selling shoes. Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Shaquille O’Neal — these guys and more all did some damage for sneaker companies. You can take a walk down memory lane, though, as you hit up SN's website now.
