These five pairs of shoes shook the world when they first came out. Here is the story behind them.
Nike Trash Talk Shoe
This shoe is made out of 75% trash. All of the leather was taken from a factory's floor and stitched together by thrown out string. The inside part of the sole is made out of factory scrap foam. The outsole is made from less toxic, recycled rubber which has been specially made to be environmentally friendly. The laces are really the only thing that is brand new.
Air Jordan I
This is what started it all; the biggest most popular shoe brand going was all made by this one shoe. In 1984 Nike took a chance in giving young star Michael Jordan a contract deal for him to wear a pair of their shoes for a whole season. He gleefully accepted. When Michael Jordan started to become the best basketball player in the NBA everyone started to by the Air Jordan Shoe. The stock price for Nike increased an incredible amount due to the skyrocketed sales in this one shoe. Nike has made over thirty Air Jordan Models now and is one of if not the best shoe stores out there if not the best one.
Magic Johnson Converse
This pair of shoes set a revolution through basketball. Everyone started to wear the Converses. Everyone wanted a pair of Converses, and it's all because one of the greatest players ever wore the shoe. Magic Johnson. This was the classic shoe that he always wore but Converse has made many new editions of the shoe to suit the styles of today.
Chuck Taylor Converse
This is the all-time best selling shoe with its amazing 500 million pairs sold. This same style comes in any color you want with any design on it that you could think of. There are low cut ones and ones with different lace styles and sole styles. You can still buy this shoe just the way it would have looked back in the 1930's when it was booming popular.
The Clyde Pumas
This shoe was incredibly popular when it debuted in the early 1970's. It is actually kind of funny because it is so much different from the other popular styles at the time. This was really the introduction to a low cut basketball shoe. Today the shoe has expanded immensely and there are all different styles and colors that you can buy this shoe in. If you want they offer to make you a custom one as well, but it will cost you.
