Sixers shoe game strong

The Sixers are becoming increasingly difficult to watch, but it isn't all bad.

Check out the original article, from Philadunkia, here.

The Sixers haven’t played the best basketball over the past couple seasons, but they have remained relevant in the shoe game. The team has had a couple of the league’s most notorious sneakerheads in today’s NBA on the recent roster; from Nick Young, who has his own sneaker butler, last season to Tony Wroten this season. The team has also inspired some cool colorways on some popular sneaker models.

Tony Wroten has a deep kick collection, and pulls out new heat almost every game. Wroten is in only his first season with the Sixers, and his long-term future with them is uncertain, but that hasn't stopped him from repping the franchise with his footwear.

Wroten has had custom work done on a couple of his Jordan's to incorporate some Philadelphia flair. 

Pictured above is a pair of the infamous Jordan 'Flu Game' 12's, which Wroten had customized with the Sixers' blue-and-red color scheme. Notice the emphasis on the 8 of the 97 (:P) 38 logo on the lower left outside, as Wroten is #8 on the 7-6. Nice detailing.

Below is a picture of custom Jordan X '76ers'. The 76ers theme is slightly more obvious on this one.

Wroten also has a 76ers-themed pair of Jordan IV’s in his collection that are pretty cool (pictured below).

Outside of Wroten showing support for the Sixers with his shoes, a couple of popular models of shoes were recently given the Sixers treatment, including the Jordan I and the Nike Barkley Foamposite.

It’s nice to see that, even when the Sixers are struggling, they still inspire some cool kicks.
