- ok_dad 3y agoFun fact, the Air in Air Jordan was originally because they had air bladder insoles. I’m not sure they use that tech today but I remember pumping up my Nikes when I was a kid with a little basketball on the tongue.
- crazygringo 3y agoWow, I had totally forgotten about that! You're right, that's exactly how it worked -- if you had those you were basically the coolest kid in your elementary school, at least.
- djkivi 3y agoI think you’re remembering Reebok Pumps!
- chadcatlett 3y agoReebok Pumps had the basketball on the tongue. Nike experimented with inflation methods on the collar, IIRC using external pumps.
