Nike Air Force Operate

This weeks post brings back memories of a feeling that I will never forget. I feeling that basketball may take me somewhere. I owned this shoe in 8th grade. This was the year that 8 other scrawny middle school kids and I made a scene at every tournament we showed up to. The focal point of this blog, however, is the player that made me feel like I needed this shoe. Adam Morrison.

While nearly everyone in college basketball wore this shoe in 2005 or 2006, it was Adam Morrison that got me hooked. This dude was a white, slow, lanky, diabetic stud who got buckets! Nearly all of these were traits I possessed (I'm not diabetic). Looking back, this shoe and I crossing paths was destiny. A shoe fit for big men and guards alike - just what I needed. I felt like this shoe was made for me, not only was it comfortable, it offered lockdown with the midfoot strap and the full leather upper - which is nearly unheard of nowadays in a basketball shoe.

Long story short, I will most likely pay whatever price necessary to get my hands on some operates in a size 12. I have spent hours online looking - from ebay, to kixify, to a basic google search - all have left me empty handed. So, if anyone happens to find this in a 12, let me know!

As always, thanks for reading along.
