When you are feeling under the weather and make the trip to your local physician do you ever take a look down from the exam table at his shoes? Didn’t think so. Chances are that your doc is rocking some Keds, maybe a subtle yet classy pair of white Etonics fit for the shuffleboard court, but nothing flashy by any means. There is, of course, one well-known doctor who specializes in the crossover dribble and no look pass and his sneakers are the cure for even the most severe case of basketball blues. Take a look at the Nike Flight Dunk Hoop Supreme Dunkmaster Julius Dr. J Ervings, courtesy of OSneaker.com.
In his Hall of Fame career Julius “Dr. J” Erving not only appeared in 11 All-Star Games, earned the 1981 MVP award, and lead the Philadelphia 76ers to the 1983 NBA championship, he also was the force that legitimized the ABA and led to its merger with the NBA in 1976. Before Michael, Dominique, Vince, or LeBron there was the good doctor – the innovator of the slam-dunk. Erving had two opponents when he stepped foot on the hardwood, the guys in the other uniforms and the rim; more often than not, he soared over both.
Any true NBA fan would be adding a gem to their sneaker shelf with the kicks that pay homage to a round ball legend. At the cost of $160, the Dunkmaster Julius sneakers are a steal considering these are a limited edition model with only 60 pairs available in the classic Sixers blue and red. Dr. J spent his career above the rim and so can you with his Nike Dunkmasters.
