To everybody&#8217;s surprise, Garnett said in a recent interview with Das Gamer that his recent appearance on the NBA 2K9 game cover outweighs any sneaker deal! Huh? Maybe he was just a little too excited at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, gracing a video game cover is a great achievement, but what about the decade of great shoes he has worn from 3 different brands?

To Garnett&#8217;s credit, he didn&#8217;t bail for Starbury when Stephon did his own thing.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#9 &#8211; Adidas KG Bounce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Photo by David Sherman\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Probably a hard job to pull this one off for off-court usage, but this is one incredibly comfortable sneaker and sturdy enough to protect $100 million contract ankles.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#8 &#8211; Nike Air Vis Zoom Uptempo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Photo by Norm Perdue\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Though technically not a signature shoe, the Nike Air Vis Zoom Uptempo offered the perfect balance for Garnett with the cushioning a bigger player would need while still being responsive cushioning with Zoom Air.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#7 &#8211; Adidas Garnett 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Photo By David Sherman\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The same year that Nike was showing off 360 degrees of Air Max, Adidas wasn&#8217;t going to sit on the sideline.??

Though still a very much aggressive look, those who had the guts could pull it off casually thanks to the quilted pattern across the upper.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#5 &#8211; Nike Air Garnett<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Photo by Sam Forencich\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Officially his first signature shoe, the Nike Air Garnett was nothing too crazy like his game play, but a great start to a good run of shoes bearing his name.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#4 &#8211; Adidas Team Signature Commander<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Photo by Garrett Ellwood\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Like the Air Jordan 6 will be remembered for being Mike&#8217;s shoe when he won his first ring, the Adidas Team Signature Commander will go down in the books being on KG&#8217;s feet during Boston&#8217;s run to the finish in the 2008 NBA Finals.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#3 &#8211; Air Jordan 11<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Photo by Lou Capozzola\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Before Garnett had his own signature shoe, he frequently wore Jordan sneakers including the Air Jordan 11 in his rookie year and later worn some Team Jordan joints.?? KG wore the Columbias a number of times during the 95-96 season, but for some reason thought that a black Sharpie needed to be applied to them to be game ready.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#2 &#8211; Nike Air Flightposite II KG<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Photo by Nathaniel S.

This was also Garnett&#8217;s last shoe with Nike before ditching the swoosh for And1 &#8211; a move not repeated by anyone else.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#1 &#8211; Nike Air Garnett 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Nike Air Garnett 3 &#8211; Photo by Ron Modra\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">World Wars have been started over the debate of whether the chicken or the egg came first, but smaller scale disputes occured in sneaker circles in the late 90&#8217;s when the Nike Air Garnett 3 followed up the release of the Air Garnett.?? Either way, one of the greatest sneakers of the 90&#8217;s to not return.??
