The return of the Stackhouse Mid has many of us thinking more about Fila<\/strong> footwear. While the Italian sportswear company has roots dating back to 1911, the brand broke through in the US basketball market during the mid-90s thanks to endorsements from Grant Hill, Jerry Stackhouse, and other NBA stars. With one Stackhouse on the way and previous re-releases of the first two Hill signatures, here are five more FILA models we?d like to see come back.<\/p>\n Coming off an All-Rookie campaign and first year signature, Jerry Stackhouse laced up the Fila Stack Mid<\/strong> in his sophomore season while playing with Allen Iverson. Colorways derived from the classy Philly uniforms as well as his college days at Carolina. The signature featured icy accents on the outsole and is considered a favorite by most Fila fans.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Following Olympic glory in the very popular and since retroed GH2, Grant Hill kept it moving for the ?96-?97 season in the very wavy Fila GH3<\/strong>. Launching during one of the most prolific periods in hoop shoe history, Grant did his thing on court by putting up an incredible 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists a night over the course of an 80-start season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For all the shoes that Chris Webber wore, the Fila Webber<\/strong> may have personified him the best. Smooth and reserved, the kicks were casual enough for off-court wear but still rooted in hoops. A seam stitched upper and Wizard accents detailed C-Webb?s lone signature with the brand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While signature shoes stack this list, the Fila Bubbles Mid<\/strong> may stand out as the most marvelous and most mysterious. Clever branding was reminiscent of the Air More Uptempo, though this cool contemporary is still yet to receive the retro treatment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grant Hill continued to put up big numbers and play at a high caliber in the Fila GH4<\/strong>. An arched upper was reminiscent of the GH2, while an exaggerated midsole was reminiscent of the GH3. Hill hooped in this model during the ?97-?98 season, to include the 1998 All-Star Game where he dropped 15 points and five dimes.<\/p>\n [polldaddy poll=6852385]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The return of the Stackhouse Mid has many of us thinking more about Fila footwear.
