It was most famous for its main character, Clarence the cross-eyed lion and its zebra-striped jeeps. The latter obviously being the inspiration for these Dunks.

Yo! MTV Raps was a legendary television music program seeing that it was the first hip hop music show on the network.

Therefore, if you never saw it, you wouldn’t know the meaning behind all of the attributes.It features a blue owl on the ankle straps representing one of the three murder mystery clues in the TV series. It also contains a zigzag design<\/a> seen on the outsole reminiscent to the floor in the Red Room on the show.<\/p>\n

This Nike Air Max 95 marks the second Miami Vice inspired sneaker on our list. The combination of a translucent aqua sole, accents of pink, the Miami logo<\/a> on the tongue and customized insoles gives this shoe a nod over the Reebok “Miami Vice” Pack we showed you earlier. While the Reebok pack draws most of its inspiration from the detective’s attire, this Air Max 95 is inspired mostly by the tv show’s cover color scheme.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mork & Mindy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This particular SB Dunk is inspired by the 70s TV show, Mork and Mindy<\/em>. It is more so an ode to Mork (Robin Williams), an alien who comes to Earth from the planet Ork. Specifically, its color schemes resembles one of Mork’s out-of-space suits combined with an icy sole. Is this one of the better Dunks created?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Nike Hyperdunk TNT edition was nonetheless a great inspiration involving one of the better post-game TV shows on the tube today. Nike used the TNT studio color scheme throughout the upper, while portraying the characters of Ernie Johsnon, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley on the tongue.

Entourage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our number 1 TV show inspired sneaker is the Fukiyama x UNDFTD x Nike Air Force 1 “Entourage”. The laser print throughout the base second to none. Cryptic messages related to Undefeated, Los Angeles and the HBO Entourage appear throughout. DJ AM made an appearance in the show in which he swiped the last pair of 11s left out from under Turtle. This shoe fetched more than $1800 in DJ AM’s charity auction. However, it represents much more than a nice pair of shoes considering DJ AM’s untimely death.<\/p>\n
