an ode to a Seattle legend, Gary Payton aka "the Glove"

simply put, these are my spin on the Zoom GP's. I wanted to do somethin "Seattle" since I really hadnt since my Jimi Hendrix dunks a few yearsback

a few people have asked me about the materials used. Since these were based on "The Glove" I wanted to use materials used on gloves....I went withperforated leather like expensive driving gloves, and I also used a grip like material used on heavy duty work gloves.
i couldnt make the same rachet sytem Nike used(I tried) so I had to settle for a velcro closure...blah blah blah
