White Men Cant Jump Sneaker Edition

It has been exactly 20 years today since one of the greatest basketball films first released in theaters —*White Men Can’t Jump. Nothing says classic cinema like Ebony and Ivory combo guard hustlers trying to make it in America, Rosie Perez doing her thing, and timeless early '90s kicks. If you haven’t already checked the film you better jump on*a torrent*Netflix right now so you can follow along, otherwise check through the pages to see what Nike Flights, Forces, Jordans, adidas, Reeboks, and Converses reigned supreme in ’92 when the film dropped. Click on the gallery to view our*Complete Sneaker Guide To ‘White Men Can’t Jump’*and let us know your favorite scene from the movie as well as your favorite kicks.


Nike Air Command Force




Year (of Sneaker):*1991

The Air Command Force took the hightop culture to the next level, and the fact the sneaker wasn't exactly a staple in the suburbs made it even more perfect that a hustler like Billy Hoyle would rock the David Robinson signature shoe throughout the flick. You remember the scene when Sidney Deane pumped up his kicks after Billy wagered five stacks that he could dunk and failed miserably? Dude finally hammered one down at the end against the The King and Duck, but he still lost out on them*D's motherfu-ker,*D's - Rosie Perez.

Nike Air Flight Lite




Year 1991
Sidney Deane was notorious for worrying more about how his game looked than the final outcome, and with the Nike Air Flight Lite he kept things proper. The shoe kept things going with the extreme high cut silhouette, great design, and branding from The Swoosh. The shoe was known for being on the feet of former Knickbocker Gerald Wilkins as well as Scottie Pippen during his run to the Bulls first title.

Air Jordan IV



Year 1991
The Jordan VI was iconic for so many reasons, transforming the signature line to a completely brand new look different from the III, IV, and V — also helping the line become so universal that the sneaker was rocked on the playground by adults and kids alike. Sidney Deane wasn't shy about wanting to keep his family in the finest, and during one of the opening scenes we get an early look at that when his woman walks up with his seed rocking a pair of baby Js.*

LA Gear Catapault



Year 1991

Back in the 90's L.A. Gear released a few sneakers with, um, interesting tech, and 20 years later the Catapult still is one of the most memorable basketball sneakers from the era. During a scene early in the movie we get a look at a pair on the Venice Beach playgrounds during Billy and Sidney's shoot-out encounter when Billy gets the best of Deane twice. The Karl Malone signature kick would be a dope look for a comeback but a lawsuit with Nike over patent technology may prevent that from ever happening — in the meantime, try eBay.
