Sneakerfiends have been lining up for a retro sneaker that shouldn’t even see the light of day again. The Patrick Ewing branded basketball hightops were fugaze even when they first were released. Everyone thought that adidas (Ewing’s OG sneaker sponsor) had made a subsidiary brand just for Patrick Ewing. Until people started seeing that the box had NO adidas iDs everyone was hoodwinked.
Not me tho’. The Ewing sneakers just looked ‘Forced‘ and by that I mean a rip-off of the David Robinson hightops. Plus, the sneakers were unfresh and only dopefiends could be spotted wearing Ewing brand sneakers. Them shits reminded me of Halle Berry and Sam Jackson as crackheads in Jungle Fever.
Halle Berry was gonna suck Wesley Snipes manhood for a pair of Ewings
Here’s a couple of YouTube highlight reels with Patrick Ewing wearing those nasty Ewing sneakers…
Getting dunked on by Scottie Pippen shouldn’t be the sneaker you want to honor Patrick Ewing with. At least not for me it isn’t.
These are the ONLY Ewing sneakers I will fux with.
Look, I feel you on your opinion that Ewing Athletics are NOT the Rivalry by adidas. But, will adidas do a faithful retro as response? Doubtful, unless Mr Penn uses some influence to make it so. In the meantime..

What’s next, a reboot of Karl Malone’s LA Gear joints? Or Clyde Drexler’s Avias?
You wear them shits, your whole existence needs to be dunked on!
I cram to understand why they would even retro them joints. They were never to be seen in. Never, B.
Jerz,
That is EXACTLY why I am so tight. These Ewing brand people are capitalizing on 1) naivete of sneakerheads, and 2) sneaker blogs hypebeast capabilities.
Best believe sites got paid to push this garbage
if you all remember back Guru rocked a pair of ewings in the just to get a rep video. these kicks were so heavy you had to be 7 feet tall to play ball in them i remember they had a jamaican colorway also. the shame is the 100 dollar price point they were like 60 bucks back in the early 90’s.
I was waiting to hear Dallas opinion on this topic since i heard these were dropping a few months ago
Those Ewing Athletics are extra tacky looking.
they were wack even before Cube put on his white ones..
Reminds me of those Hakeem the Dream joints they had for sale at kmart back n the day. Straight garbage.
>>>>>ewings
gangstarr took the l for wearing them & the pitkin ave corduroy snorkels
I got a homie, LB, that had them Ewings in EVERY single colorway – like 30 pairs. Every single time this nigga came on the block, we had wild jokes for that dude!!! LOLz
I just talked to the god LB a few minutes ago, and even HE said, “…them Ewings WAS trash tho’, B.”
