“Well, we can’t talk about it (the absence of power laces) too much because it’s really proprietary intellectual property. Our standard line is that this shoe had power laces in the year 2015.

Fox Foundation and its influence on the likes of Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. <\/p>\n Check out our full two-page discussion with Tinker Hatfield below.<\/p>\n
