Ewing Athletics is obviously one of the brands that I admire. Reentering the sneaker market at a time where fanboys Stan ridiculously hard for adidas and Nike, making a splash is hard. The brand has begun a solid DTC push and releasing a shoe that captures the second phase of Patrick Ewing’s career has a built in narrative. The big man was becoming a journeyman holding on to a career that was in the final stages. Most people don’t remember that Ewing played for two teams post NYC. His post NYC career didn’t last long as he was traded from the Knicks to Seattle and then on to The Magic. This shoe obviously has a reference to the Sonics with the Ewing logo sporting the Seattle Needle and the gum outsole the colorway is definitely classic and eye catching. You can stay updated on Ewing by visiting the Facebook page. Let’s hope the brand continues to grow and introduce dope colorways inspired by Ewing’s career.
