One of our favorite (well…maybe 77th favorite) shoes of all time is slated for an out of nowhere Retro release at Finish Line in the coming weeks. That’s right, the amazingly clean white and navy patent leather Fila Grant Hill 2 will be returning, just when you thought Fila was too busy ripping off every luxury brand that has ever dropped anything worthwhile in the fashion world. Worn by Grant Hill during the 1996 NBA season, Fila has been forced to re-name the shoe now that Hill wears adidas while playing for the Suns, and they’ve simply gone with a play on the year they originally released.
They’ll run you the same $90 retail that they originally cost, though they won’t make you run or jump higher like Grant once could.
