With the Nike Air Command Force set to hit retailers this weekend, it would only be right to showcase the colorway made famous by Billy Hoyle during this week&#8217;s edition of <em>#TBT<\/em>.

The aforementioned silhouette featured the revolutionary <em>Nike Air-Fit System<\/em> which provides a secure fit for applicable athletes, such as a variety of NBA stars.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>The Admiral<\/h2>\n<p>On the NBA hardwood,\u00a0David Robinson made this model famous. The future Hall-Of-Famer would don this silhouette during the 1991-1992 NBA Season, in which &#8220;The Admiral&#8221; would tally averages of 23 points per game, 12 rebounds per game and 4 blocks per game. In addition to Robinson, Anthony Mason would go on to lace up the Nike Air Command Force as well.

However, what many may remember from that year is the cinematic release of <em>White Men Can&#8217;t Jump<\/em>. This iconic basketball\u00a0film\u00a0starred Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes as their unlikely partnership would develop into a cinematic triumph. Although the film garnered superb reviews, many sneaker\u00a0enthusiasts remember Billy Hoyle aka Woody Harrelson for lacing up the Nike Air Command Force throughout a majority of the film.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Legacy of the Nike Air Command Force<\/h2>\n<p>The Legacy of the Nike Air Command Force enters a new chapter as the first retro model is slated to hit retailers this weekend.
