FILA 96.


Back in the day, my love for the NBA overcame my fear of being grounded. I would stay up past my bedtime and watch the NBA playoffs no matter how late it got and try to catch my favorite team, The Detroit Pistons, take on opponents like Bird and Celtics, Worthy and the Lakers and Jordan and The Bulls. The Bad Boys were my team! Laimbeer, The Worm, Zeke, The Microwave, Joe Doooooomars...it was awesome. Then came Grant Hill. Our future! But unfortunately, our future never lived up to his expectations thanks to nagging injuries. But what Grant Hill DID bring was a Fila basketball shoe that was like no other. Officially called the Fila 96. Unofficially, The Grant Hill's. And now they are back! Fila has graciously allowed Reed Space to release these classic joints months before they drop in the market. I can't say much for now, but more details to follow soon.
小さいころ、僕のNBAへの愛が叱られるという恐怖を超えました。寝る時間になっても、どんなに晩くなってもNBAのプレーオフや僕の大好きだったDetroit PistonsとBirdとCeltics、WorthyとLakersやJordanとBullsとの対戦を欠かさず見ました。僕のチームはバッドボーズぞろい!Laimbeer、The Worm、Zeke、The Mircrowave、Joe Dooooomars。。。最高でした。そしてGrant Hillの到来は僕たちの未来でした!でも、度重なるケガで僕たちが期待するぼどの未来ではありませんでした。しかし、Grant Hillがしたことは他にはないFilaのバスケシューズを出したこと。正式名称Fila96。通称The Grant's Hill's。そして、それが復活しました!Fila社は市場に出る前にこのクラシックシューズをReed Spaceでリリースする許可をくださいました。今は詳しいことは言えませんが、詳細をお楽しみに。

I love it, finally Fila comes back with their old school styles. I hope we are going to expect many more of their archives. I have to get these.

Good job Jeff.
