The mid 1990’s saw some of Reebok’s best signature basketball shoes and the Reebok Kamikaze II was no exception. Shawn Kemp took the court wearing the Reebok Kamikaze II<\/strong> for the 1995-96 season which was arguably his best season in the NBA averaging a double-double and even put up a 20-20 game against the conference rival Trailblazers. While wearing the Kamikaze II’s Kemp was also a starter for the All-Star Game and took his team, the Seattle Supersonic to their first NBA Finals appearance.<\/p>\n

Hexalite cushioning gave the Kamikaze II a comfortable ride, impact resistance, as well as lightweight. Standing at 6-10, Kemp was a board crasher known for his threat as a rebounder as well as powerful dunks.<\/p>\n

The Reebok Kamikaze has yet to return in the form of a “bringback release” despite the number of sneaker collectors seeking the shoes. It is not uncommon to see a pair sell for $300+ in deadstock condition.<\/p>\n
