Signature sneakers get the showcase treatment on the basketball court and the shoe shelves. Sometimes though, the coveted kicks get cameo credit when rocked on the big screen. In the spirit of April Fool?s Day, we take a look back at some of the best star powered shoes to pop up in funny films.<\/p>\n image via Cineplex<\/a>\n image via Flight Club<\/a>\n Movie:<\/strong> Drumline<\/em> Despite the latter success of Wild?n Out, Kevin Garnett is still regarded as a more ruthless trash talker than Nick Cannon. Cannon embodied KG’s attitude by wearing the Nike Air Garnett III in Drumline<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n image via Cinema Obsessed<\/a>\n image via Maguy of Kicks Box<\/a>\n Movie:<\/strong> Mean Girls<\/em> Tracy McGrady?s best work appeared on the hardwood, not the silver screen. Never the less, the shooting star saw his T-Mac IIs ditch gym class in the movie Mean Girls<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Movie:<\/strong> George of the Jungle<\/em> Brendan Fraser channeled fellow swingman Scottie Pippen by getting gifted with the Nike Air More Uptempo in George of the Jungle<\/em>. The cartoony kicks stood out in the live action film.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Movie:<\/strong> The Cable Guy<\/em> The Air Jordan 2 ?95 Retro proved a funny man favorite in cinema, with Bill Murray breaking them out in Space Jam<\/em> and Jack Black sporting them in The Cable Guy<\/em>. There?s plenty of golden-era Nikes in this hilarious hoops scene.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n image via All Movie<\/a>\n image via Maguy of Kicks Box<\/a>\n Movie:<\/strong> Alley Cats Strike<\/em> Were you expecting The Luck of the Irish<\/em>? While Disney?s take on Teen Wolf<\/em> meets Celtic Pride<\/em> featured another pair of Reeboks, it was Alley Cats Strike<\/em> that saw the original Answer 1. Much like the commercial for the Allen Iverson signature, this movie also featured an impossible spin move.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n image via Sole Collector<\/a>\n Movie:<\/strong> Little Monsters<\/em> Howie Mandel may have worn some loud Nikes in his standup days, but co-star Fred Savage brought the heat in Little Monsters<\/em> by rocking the ?Fire Red? 3s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n image via Cineplex<\/a>\n image via of autohao hupu<\/a>\n Movie:<\/strong> Malibu’s Most Wanted<\/em> While Jamie Kennedy got star credit in the guard-geared Nike Zoom Flight Turbine, it was co-star Kal Penn that stole the show on foot with the Steve Francis-endorsed Reebok X-Beam. Don?t be hatin?.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n image via Cineplex<\/a>\n image via ga_la_el_al of eBay<\/a>\n Movie:<\/strong> Dodgeball<\/em> Guarding Allen Iverson in a pair of shoes without laces is a bad idea.
