    Sneak Peek at Phil Jackson’s New Shoes


    The man used to wear his own players’ kicks, and now, the opposite is on the verge of happening: ”Adidas is producing 15 pairs of kicks for the Lakers coach called the Phil Jackson Artillery shoe and it will come in two colorways — purple and gold (Lakers) and black and red (Bulls). The shoes also will sport an “X”, which represents the number of titles Jackson has won.”‘

      Giving a coach his own shoe really?

    • Gerard Himself Posted: Aug.14 at 10:04 am
      haha a coach with his one line? Nice.

    • Roy Posted: Aug.14 at 10:05 am
      Wow! Zen Master gets his own sig kicks. Would’ve been better if those were Nikes. :D

    • Gerard Himself Posted: Aug.14 at 10:06 am
      by the way, when Jackson wore Jordans, was that a one time thing? Never noticed this back in the day.

    • niQ Posted: Aug.14 at 10:23 am
      Now people will correlate his wins to his shoes. “Must be the SHOES!”

    • andrew Posted: Aug.14 at 10:36 am
      When you see these you won’t be as impressed as you are now… each shoe in the pair is different colours… ugly as sin.

    • andrew Posted: Aug.14 at 10:37 am
      er, actually scratch that comment. WRONG!

      Reminds me of Mighty Ducks 2 when Bombay was trying to work a shoe deal.

    • Jeff Fox Posted: Aug.14 at 10:51 am
      Don’t buy them - I hear they damage your hips. (I kid of course - don’t sue adidas!)

    • Trevor Posted: Aug.14 at 11:22 am
      Cool!

    • chingy Posted: Aug.14 at 12:57 pm

      Nike is NOT always better than Adidas. Some shoes, yeah, but this whole notion that every Nike is bangin’ and every Adidas is wack is a myth.

    • the only one two and three Posted: Aug.14 at 2:11 pm
      addidas makes better soccer cleats and lighter running shoes.

    • donlaker Posted: Aug.14 at 2:26 pm
      size 15 please (phil jacksons)
      and bring back the, kareems white purple and yellow high tops

    • [...] Kicks inspired on the coach instead of the player? Nice! It’s Phil Jackson’s turn to get in the sneakers hall of fame thanks to Adidas. Check this out at Slamonline.com [...]

      How do shoes help coaches in the slightest?

    • Moose Posted: Aug.14 at 4:08 pm
      Sign of the Apocalypse. Who’s going to look at an ad and say, “Wow, Phil Jackson has those shoes! Let’s get ‘em!”

    • BossTerry Posted: Aug.14 at 5:25 pm
      I thought he wore Birkenstocks with dirty socks in the off season..

    • Blinguo Posted: Aug.14 at 6:33 pm
      Phil Jackson’s shoe is named after ammo and discharging weapons really, Artillery, now who’s wearing the “prison gear” who needs a dress code Phil Jax?

    • ShoeNut Posted: Aug.14 at 6:45 pm
      Does his shoes come with extra padding?

    • LA Huey Posted: Aug.14 at 8:10 pm
      I hear the AARP crowd is an untapped market. They better be real comfortable though.

    • Ali Posted: Aug.14 at 9:31 pm
      I got an idea, have the bottom of the shoe trimmed with 10 championship rings, and a big X on the heel. I copyright this.

    • Yesse Posted: Aug.15 at 12:44 am
      Well, Phil Jackson really deserves his own shoe.

    • john Posted: Aug.15 at 8:54 pm
      lol @Jeff fox

    • dijah Posted: Aug.16 at 12:42 am
      i respect his sucess > but really a shoe

    • MiguelKG5 Posted: Aug.16 at 7:05 pm
      Well he has won 10 championships, let him have whatever he wants. Not sure how they will look with a suit

    • Kmartshopper Posted: Aug.18 at 2:18 am
      Ah, yes. “the Air Bombay loafer, for kids who wanna coach”

    • chintao Posted: Aug.18 at 5:07 am
      Already, I can’t buy Nike because of Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron. Now, I can’t buy Adidas because of Fphil? I’m guessing the “X” represents all 10 pairs of these shoes that they anticipate will be sold worldwide before they have to start giving the leftover stock to the needy.
