Lately both the sports and sneaker world has been counting down the days until Michael Jordan is inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, but MJ is not the only great being honored next week. ?David Robinson will also be honored next week by the sports world, but even though the Admiral never had a signature shoe, he still wore his share of amazing sneakers.<\/p>\n

We have shown some of the great sneaker David Robinson has worn in past Throwback Thursdays including the Air Force 180 Pump, Air Command Force, and Air Force V, but this week we celebrate the shoe #50 wore while setting his personal best. ?This week we celebrate the Nike Air Unlimited – the shoe that Robinson wore during the 1993-94 season and most importantly while putting up a ridiculous 71 points. ?True it was against the Clipps and true the team fed him the ball play after play to help David win the scoring title, but one can’t take away from his incredible performance.<\/p>\n

The Nike Air Unlimited<\/strong> was unlike any other basketball shoe by Nike. ?Sure, other shoes such as the Nike Air Jordan VIII and the Nike Air Raid had the dual cross straps, but what about another ankle and heel strap? ?Yes, for those playing the home game, that’s 4 straps giving even big men like David Robinson the ankle protection they need. ?The shoe had so many straps that included in the box was an instruction booklet telling you in what order to lace and strap up.<\/p>\n

Almost a year ago we posted the Nike Air Carnivore on Throwback Thursday which got nothing but the highest praise from readers. ?Coincidence or convenience the Air Carnivore will return in 2010. ?If you think the Nike Air Unlimited?should return click here to voice your opinion!<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Just found a few pairs of the Nike Air Unlimited on eBay<\/a>…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
