#6 – Nike Air Pippen

10 Sneakers We're Most Thankful For Returning in '08

It was only a matter of time for this legend.  We had seen the Pippen IIs as well as a number of Uptempos Scottie made famous for years leading up to ’08.  Although Pippen’s sneakers were overlooked by that guy on his team that wore #23 (if you’re trying to figure it out…hang yourself), Scottie still had some classics. Nevertheless, your comments said that you were pleased with this re-release; therefore, this was one of Nike best moves.

    Nike has been doing good. I copped quiet a few this year, which I never do. Here’s what I copped and am thankful for, which I obviously am since I copped;

    01] Hare VII
    02] Carmine VI
    03] Chili 95
    04] Blue Bakin’
    05] Black/Blue Penny II
    06] Lava Air Tech Challenge II
    07] Infrared Court Force

    It was cool that the Black/Red IV’s and Black/Cement III’s dropped again, but I still have my wearable 99 Black/Red IV’s and wearable 01 Black/Cement III’s. Either way you look at it, the two colorways are a classic. Since I already had them, they weren’t on my list along with the Infrared 90′s since I had the 05 HOA’s.

    I also really liked the Eggplant Flightposites, but I didn’t like how they looked on my feet. I am, however, anticipating the release of the Eggplant Flightposites.

  • W1NDYC1TY23 of ISS

    Also the package in December doesn’t change my list. I have the Original Black/Red XI from ’96 and the Original Taxi XII from 97

  • Jeremy

    carmines, bred IV, blk cmt III, those are the 1st three. the others who cares? lol

  • bourne

    OH MAN, I FORGOT ABOUT THE XX3′S, I AM THANKFUL FOR THE BLACK AND ALL-STAR XX3′S TOO… YEP, TRUE THAT…!

  • b money

    still waiting on the bred xi
    the best looking and most comfortable shoe ever made!!!!!!!

  • Melvin

    Jordan 11′s all the way!! ha

  • jordan fan

    to #21,

    I disagree with you homie, the best looking shoe. What about the Spaca Jams… that’s better looking than the Breds. Ppl see the Breds everywhere. Space Jams, you gotta believe that!!!

  • greenmaker24

    great list

  • MillerTime

    The penny IIs win out because I didn’t have to buy another pair of wack shoes just to get the JOs i wanted

  • C$

    I voted for the Penny II’s, imo the Jordan III’s are #2.

    I didn’t cop the carmines. I don’t like them for some reason…

  • C$

    p.s of that list I copped in this last year:

    Pennys
    Pips
    3′s
    4′s

    I regret not getting the Pumps, may buy the white ones which are releasing.

  • jordan fan

    man, i am looking at the picture of MJ playin’ defense,
    and wearing the air jordan IV… with the NIKE AIR…!
    now that was a great shoe. they don’t make ‘em like they used to. what a shame… by the way, what does s.m.h. mean?

  • Kidkrazy

    Carmines > Black Cement 3′s IMO…

  • JoseBronx

    what about neon 95??? the air-unit was a little off but im thankful :)

    but for me, it the #1 had to be carmines, cause you can actually wear them

  • nbaTHUG

    yo the 5′s need to be on this list BAD

  • http://www.nicekicks.com Nice Kicks

    It was so hard to leave some off the list. Most notably, the Nike Air Flight Lite Highs

  • jordan fan

  • http://sneakersandshoes.wordpress.com PhilWil

    Best sneakers re-released so far wasn’t on the list: Foamposites.

    But I guess that don’t come out until next year so that don’t count… but the AJ 7 Hares are the best re-release this year.

    As for the December re-releases, I love the AJ11 but I really wanted the Concords not the BRED so I am disappointed. I guess I’m the only one who wanted the concord because everyone is going wild for the BRED’s.

  • Mike

    thankful for 11s

  • Timmy G

    the hares & the 11s

  • Timmy G

    and concord 11s would have been sex

  • WIZEGUY

  • Antwan

    Carmine’s all the way!

  • http://nicekicks.com steven

    i honestly think da best sneakers of dis yr by far has to be the 7/16 air jordan package..da hare (bugs bunny) 7s r infamous jordan sneakers dat havent been out since dat commercial he did wit bugs and classic patent leatha toe 16s all black wit red onda bottom…come on wats betta den d@??..

  • imshining

    I actually got the 20/3, and the 3′s are legendary and THE best…but the colorway of the Carmines are so appealing, I had to vote for em

  • imshining

    Having the 3′s changes the whole situation…it’s different when you want something

  • Travis Stark

    Yes, the dee brown reebok pumps are a fraud. He would have gotten 8′s if he tried that dunk now. This is an awesome top ten list. If you like top ten lists, you should visit my buddy’s site http://www.toptentopten.com/.

  • j
