Patrick Ewing told the world that his Dream Team would win “10 out of 10” against the reigning Olympic champions, but the cited size advantage is among the key reasons this Hall of Fame center’s sneakers haven’t aged like Barkley, Pippen or Jordan’s. Historically, ‘big men’ shoes just haven’t sold as well as perimeter players’ (though to be fair, Ewing’s mid-’80s adidas Attitude and Conductors are still thriving), but just as the twentieth anniversary of the Dream Team and a still surging interest in kicks made for so many dope retros, the time is right for Ewing’s namesake brand to resurrect its most famous silhouette. The August 23, 2012 returns with both the white and the red of the original 1990 colorways next Air Jordan 4 (the blue and black have yet to get a release date), but with only six NY-area retailers getting limited numbers to start, will you be able to get in on this long-lusted bringback?
