Happy Birthday, Chuck: A History of Charles Barkley’s Signature Shoes

The Nike Air CB4 broke the mold of previous Sir Charles sneakers, but packed the same attitude. Jagged lines graced the upper, while Houston colors reigned over Phoenix. This model also debuted during the 1996 Olympics, with Barkley later wearing the CB4 from start to finish in his first season with the Rockets.
