2004 saw an odd point for basketball, footwear, and fashion. MJ was gone, streetball was hot, and everybody wore a headband. Perhaps the brightest star of that era was Tracy McGrady. Perennial All-Star and league scoring champ, T-Mac was all of that and the definition of hoops at the time. He could fill it up in the flashiest of ways with playground flair and seemingly no sweat. His signature adidas line was catching full stride, kicking it up a gear for All-Star weekend.
Introduced to ?Hey Ya?, McGrady strutted out on stage in a mismatched pair of the adidas T-Mac 3. Blue and red shoes glimmered with all patent leather uppers and metallic accents. His shoes did the walking but his game did the talking with his offensive arsenal on full display. Both colorways would release separately and be favorited by T-Mac fans nationwide.
