Vintage Ad: adidas T-MAC

August 16th 2012 | 57 comments

words // Zack Schlemmer

After entering the NBA straight out of high school in the 1997 Draft, Tracy McGrady scored his first signature shoe in 2002 with the adidas T-MAC.  McGrady wore them on his way to the NBA scoring title for the 2002-03 season while playing for the Orlando Magic. Ten years later comes the first retro T-MAC with its re-release this summer

In this two page ad we see T-Mac ballin' in the original silver and black colorway.  The T-MAC obviously comes from the same design period at adidas as the KOBE, and KOBE 2, but is a significantly less ugly more standard basketball shoe.  The T-MAC is somewhat of a futursitic Superstar with its sweeping shell toe, sleek upper, and adidas' Torsion technology.

Those interested in the T-MAC just like the ones you see in this ad can pick them up directly from adidas.com now.

Jason Kidd's long and illustrious NBA career officially came to an end this week, so we'll take a look back at his first signature shoe.
