The person that made these shoes classic to me was Ron Harper in the 96 playoffs. I still refer to these as the Ron Harpers. Jordan was already balling out of his mind in the Black/Red XIs but when Ron Harper started wearing these instead of the team shoes he turned his game up. He made me proud to own these shoes as a kid because he was out there showing toughness and grit. He wasnt a superstar but an awesome "everyday man" team player that came through in the playoffs. A couple of other Bulls bench players wore this colorway and I want to say I seen Pippen playing in them but I could be mistaken.
