PF Flyers Bob Cousy All American

Posted on May 15, 2009 Under Fashion

Most basketball sneakers nowadays look like they could just as easily be hi-tech astronaut footwear as gear that will give you that edge on your baseline layups, but before the days of LeBron James and even Air Jordan himself, sneakers were not exactly items so flashy that you’d get mugged for wearing them. Hearkening back to simpler time when kicks were still kick ass, but a lot less flamboyant, PF Flyers has bottled (or shoed) the essence of long ago NBA great Bob Cousy with their reissue of the Celtics legend’s 1956 sneaks. While they make look like they’re more suited for taking a walk to your nearest subway line than spotting up from the 3-point line, there’s an NBA hall-of-famer or several who would probably beg to differ.
