PF-Flyers Bob Cousy All American

You probably have heard this story before. A man born in New York, takes up basketball as a teenager, goes to college where he wins an NCAA Championship, turns around his new NBA team from awful to awesome, retires after grabbing 6 rings, and comes back when he is old enough to be the father of some of his teammates. Many of you may be thinking of Michael Jordan, but a generation before Mike was born, Bob Cousy was making history.

During Cousy’s pro career he had one shoe of choice, PF-Flyers. Though details are a little scarce, it is said by some accounts that Cousy was the first NBA player to have a signature with the release of the PF-Flyers Cousy All American Lo in 1956. (There is still debate whether his name was on the product back then.)

This fall PF-Flyers is reissuing the Bob Cousy All American in a number of tonal colorups. Click here to see the entire lineup.
