No, this isn’t a Super.Fly for Blake Griffin but this Jordan team shoe definitely has signature player shoe DNA. The Jordan Rising Up makes use of some of Jordan Brand’s latest design language with the raked up collar for a hybrid high-low fit, lightweight vented synthetic, and Flywire support along the sidewalls. While this is a nice sneaker that would get some attention on the feet of Blake or perhaps Russell Westbrook, just imagine if Michael Jordan donned this Bulls-ready colorway for a game or two in the playoffs. With black socks. working the competition over. We’d be looking at the Rising Up a little differently. True, MJ never rocked the Jumpman team shoes released during his late ’90s run, but his teammates Toni Kukoc and Ron Harper gave them a spin here and there. We’ll have to leave all this ‘what if’ business alone but these are available for you to make your own memories with at retailers like Finish Line. $120 sticker price.
