Kobe Bryant is credited for making the low-cut basketball shoe popular, but he certainly isn’t the first to go low with his kicks. In the 2000’s, guys like Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, and Gilbert Arenas all sported low-cut kicks, a basketball shoe construction that was once considered a faux-pas due to its lack of ankle support. Steve Nash has done just fine since, and although the Nike Wmns Air Force 1 High White Light Blue Gum 334031-114 II (cork to the Nike Wmns Air Force 1 High White Light Blue Gum 334031-114) isnt Steve’s shoe (it’s the Nike Supreme x Gato SB Skateboard Blue Light Armory Blue White-Neutral Indigo), it’s something you’d expect him to wear. The upper features a faux-reptilian print on the heel and lace placket, with Zoom cushioning and a herringbone traction. Take another look after the jump and expect these to hit in Spring 2011. via taobao.
