If you are a fan of the Seattle SuperSonics from the 1990’s here’s an incredible can’t-miss lot never before offered. From Hall of Fame point guard Gary Payton (aka “The Glove”) and explosive power forward Shawn Kemp (aka “Reign Man”) to German forward Detlef Schrempf and defensive specialist Nate McMillan this is The Ultimate Sonics 90's Game-Used Sneaker Collection and it comes courtesy of the best source imaginable: Seattle’s head coach at the time George Karl. While the Sonic teams of the 1990’s may not have won a championship they certainly captivated the younger fan base during the grunge movement that began in the Emerald City. Rock legends like Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder wrote lyrics about them. If not for Michael Jordan’s return to the NBA after his baseball experiment in 1994 we would probably be talking about the Sonics as 1996 World Champions when they won 64 games during the regular season. Below is the list of game-worn shoes included.
