If you are not familiar with the amazing tumblr page that is KICKS ON CARDS you are likely failing at life. Sole Collector's Zachary Schlemmer aka FatShawnKemp has put together quite the collection of basketball card scans. The most impressive thing about his tumblr may be that all the cards, unless noted, are from his personal collection. And while the cards themselves are amazing, Zachary has chosen to highlight the footwear worn by each player on the card. Included in his collection are cards featuring popular sneakers like the Reebok Kamikaze II, the Air Jordan XI, and the Nike Air Penny. In addition to highlighting the cards with the most popular sneakers on them Zachary also shares those with less popular sneakers like the Converse Run N’ Slam, the Reebok Triple Deuce, and the AND1 Tai Chi. Check out some great sneakers as well as some awesome still images of some of the NBA’s most entertaining players in 50 Awesome Sneakers From KICKS ON CARDS.
