together in one court-inspired, street-ready kick. The signature basketball
shoe of Hall of Famer Ralph Sampson joins forces with Olympic Gold Medalist
Usain Bolt, representing the power of sport to unite the world. Colorful
detailing pulled from flags around the world and Usain Bolt’s signature stamped
at the side take this archive classic from the court to the podium.â€
