Item Description
In the late 1980s, New York Knicks center Patrick Ewing teased the launch of Ewing Athletics—which made him the first pro baller to be majority owner of his own company—by doing something unheard of for a player of his stature today: He wore unbranded shoes—all white, no label. A blank canvas.
When Ewing Athletics launched in 1989, it made a giant argument against the prevailing idea that big men didn’t sell. A model called the Rebound was first in 1989, but the floodgates really opened the following year when the company dropped the 33 Hi (named after Ewing’s jersey number).
A Brief History of Patrick Ewings Signature Sneaker:
- Ewing was on the design team
- Between 1990 and 1996, Ewing Athletics released 20 models. They were inexpensive, starting at $49 a pair. They were well designed. And they were worn by a franchise player in the country’s grandest market.
