So, a ball JC3 here the baller of YouTube the general, welcome to Topic Tekken, my take for today is on the 1 NBA player that still plays in 1990s Nike shoes and they aren't basketball shoes either. Stay tuned for the rest and make sure to check out some of my other videos if you haven't yet. Leave a thumbs up on this video for more. Seriously, go do it now. Have you done it? Thank you. Even if you haven't done it, thank you, because I know you eventually will. And make sure to comment your reaction down below and other video requests you might have been going forward. And let's get started with today's topic. You know, you look around the league, see a lot of players rocking co-bees, kairis, pgs, adidas crazy explosives, and more of the current sneaker heat, but only one player blows away the competition. If the current sneakers are fire, then these are a nuclear bomb. Tabo, South Faloche, Ford for the Utah Jazz, formerly well known for his plane days in Oklahoma City and Atlanta, is the only current NBA player to ball every night in the Nike Air Max 90s. Nike Super Designer Tinker Hatfield made the shoe back in the day with a thick air unit in the midsole and breathable mesh upper to make it light for runners. This shoe was never made to hit the hardwood and while some hoopers may wear it as a joke at the local rec center or wear it because it's the only shoe they have, South Faloche chooses to play in it every night. And he's playing in the best, most intense, and strenuous basketball league in the world. So when did this all start for Tabo? It's actually nothing new. He played in the Air Max 1 mid, early in the 2015-16 season, then switched to the Air Max 90 runner for a couple of seasons now, and it all began when he suffered a broken fibula and ankle damage outside of a Manhattan nightclub on April 8, 2015. He sustained the injuries in an incident with five New York City police officers in which he won a $4 million settlement against claiming false arrest, excessive force, false imprisonment, and malicious protection. These injuries sideline South Faloche for the remainder of that season, which so happened to be the one where his team won 60 games and went on to be swept by the cabs in the Eastern Conference finals, and now all their players are gone and so is South Faloche. During his rehab, South Faloche started wearing the Air Maxes and never looked back after that. He wears a size 15 with insoles that model his feet, and even though the Air Max has a waffle pattern outsole, South Faloche says they have great grip. They have great grip, the comfortable shoe. I think for anybody that wear them, I thought of the court they can relate, and on the court to me they feel good. I get taped off, you know, taking off my ankle, but other than that, I mean, in perfect shoes. He just laces them up and goes, hey, all power to them because I wouldn't even lace these up in the local wreck, and this man is rocking them in the NBA. There are a lot of low-top basketball shoes nowadays, but just the fact of how high off the ground the Air Max 90s are seems crazy to me that he doesn't roll over in them a lot. These teammates think so too. Joe Ingalls said, I roll my ankle walking in them. Rookie Donovan Mitchell said, it's definitely swaggy though, but I don't know if I could do it. And Rudy Gobera chimed in, I like to walk in them, but I can't play in them. Now 12 year vet in 33 years old, it's unlikely that South Faloche will ever switch to another model and said that he didn't choose to wear the Air Max 90s by design, but for comfort alone. So let me know what you think in the comments down below. Would you play basketball in the Air Max 90s?
