In
honor of Grant Hill's retirement today on Tru School of kicks we
remember the Fila Grant Hill 1's. The shoe looks like the 1990's and
is a classic among people in the urban community. The original Grant
Hill Fila's represents a time when the shoe game was much different
and there was more variety. I think me an Denver Nuggets Small Forward Andre Iguadola have
something in common sneaker wise to a degree if you read the tweet
below.
Grant Hill's fila was the 1st non Nike shoe I ever wanted! Congrats on a great career. Better human and professional!

When
I was a child one of the 1st basketball shoes I could
remember seeing was these Fila Grant hill's so there is an emotional
connection there. I also remember going to the court around like age
4 and seeing the local ballers rocking these bad boys so to see this
coming out again coming
out again is just great.
This
shoe is relevant for more then just hill's retirement recently Fila
announced that they will be re releasing the Grant Hill 1's. For a
company that has fell from grace from the number 3 shoe company in
the world to relative obscurity it might be the biggest move they
have made in awhile. With that said good luck to Fila on the retro
release it's great to have that variety back in the sneaker game,
some people get sick of seeing Air Jordan's all the time.
