Did Scottie Pippen Ever Get a Nike Deal?

[Foster5k]

I've never saw a Scottie Pippen Nike comerical. Hell, this guy was Robin for all those years helping Jordan win chips. Get this man on a Nike commerical and/or Hans comerical.

[PHILA]

Really?

[JohnnySic]

I dont know if it was with Nike, but I distinctly remember Pippen in commercials. There was this one hilarious one where he goes back in time and dominates 1950's players. Look it up on youtube.

[Samurai Swoosh]

He didn't have commercials but he was a Nike athlete, yes ... and he even had his own signature shoe in 1997 and 1998.

[Rake2204]

Heck ya. I always wanted a pair of these (Air Pippen II).

I think they may have even be re-released at some point.

yup. I have a pair of Air Pippens in my closet right now as we speak.

[Foster5k]

I checked YouTube he has like two Nike comericals. ONLY TWO! Jordan has like a million. I guess Pippen's shoes didn't sell as good as Jordans......

I remember Pippen in a Nike commercial, themed "silent assassin".....at the time it seemed cool, but a bit corny now. Youtube it.

Also, recall a "I jam, therefore I am" commercial but not sure if it was Nike.

No they sold well. So much so they have retro'ed both Pippen models twice, and even did a Pippen shoe where it was a hybrid of his 1998, 1997, and his 1996 Air Max Uptempo shoe which he wore and was kind of un-officially his signature shoe.

Back when his sig shoes originally came out in Chicago, I saw a ton of people wearing Pippens. Not as many as I did Jordans, but you get the point. It was a very popular shoe. I bought some retros of the 1st Pippen, and I tried playing ball in them and couldn't. They felt way too heavy for me. But it's also cause I got the brown ones that releases last year that looked like boots and I think they were made with a heavier leather on purpose.

Lol. Pippen's comericals got like 1-9k views max, while Jordan's comericals got millions.

Nike looked like they didn't even try on Pippen's comericals. They were just like, "Stand here... do this.." 5 mins later.. they're like, "Okay, we're done! Hurry up, we have another Jordan comerical to do."

Now, I know you're referring to the original Maestros, but I couldn't get enough of the '96 versions. I want these back!

I've also been fiending for another pair of Air Way Ups. I found a fresh set at a garage sale in Minneapolis five years ago but I wore through them.

I had a pair of the 96 Maestro's, I don't know if it was just my pair or what but they were really shoddy, midsole coming loose from the body and stuff.

The originals were sweet though, I can't find a pick but I remember Pippen rocking an all red pair in I think the 93 ASG.

I wanna buy the shoes with "AIR" on the side. That looks amazing. :eek:

What do you expect, bro?

Jordan single handedly MADE Nike what it was.

Jordan carried the brand from the mid 80's till the late 90's.

The whole time he was the best player in the game, and the most marketable.

Barkley was more boisterous Nike athlete, and he got more marketing in the mid 90's.

Late 90's saw the rise of Penny (before injuries destroyed him) he got ample marketing, and the product was hot.

Hell, retro Jordan releases still do the grunt work of Nike's sales to this day.

Speaking of which, next X-mas they are retroing my favorite hoop shoe of all-time.

The AJ XI Concords.

I'm buying like 4 or 5 pair. That's what I plan on wearing on my wedding day and everything, haha

[B-Low]

Really? I didn't even know they released the 3's ...

Yep I had the 3's in 7th grade, the first year I started playing in my YMCA league. I loved em.

And Foster obviously kids would get the Jordans because he's JORDAN. Kids dont appreciate sidekicks, they like hype and popularity. That's why the never dress as Robin for Halloween, they're Batman. You don't appreciate a player like Pip til you learn the game better. Hell I was the only Scottie Pippen fan I knew of growing up (YES I was Pippen for Halloween when i was younger lol)

[Samurai Swoosh]

Wait a sec. If these shoes are so great, why didn't they out sell Jordans? I've never seen a kid be like, "Hey mom! I want a pair of Pippens."
Are you really serious?

Jordans were and are a status symbol.

Jordans are still the most superior on court performance shoe, year in and year out.

Plus Jordan was the best player in the game, who is going to willingly take Pippen's over Jordan's?

Great shoes, just not Jordan's. Jordan's are the best function and aesthetically pleasing basketball shoe.

But like I said, I saw kids in Chicago rocking Pippens. Not so much anywhere else. When I lived in Dallas, I rarely saw people wearing them.

[Samurai Swoosh]

They were very nice. I had the all black ones. They should be getting retroed very soon, FYI

Lol. Thanks for all the info. But yeah, the Jordan brand is too legendary I guess. Sorry Scottie. :pimp:

[Rake2204]

I'm guessing it's a PC modification of a Live or 2K from a couple of years ago. Those guys add old shoes, jerseys, faces, all of that stuff. I just Googled Air Way Ups and that's one of the images I got in return. Those were the Hyperdunks of the NBA for a year. It was the default Nike shoe. The MZ3 was almost on that level the next year.

http://nicekicks.com/files/2009/06/nike-mz3-tt-2.jpg

My brother had those in white and I rocked them when he moved on to another pair.

[B-Low]

Yeah it became pretty obvious after your second post or so in this thread that its only purpose was to bash Pippen. Not sure WHY because nobody would ever debate against the fact that Jordan is the biggest solo name in the history of shoes....but congrats on proving a point that everyone agreed with you from the start on. You really showed Scottie

And personally, I would take the Pippen 1's over most current Jordan's. The quality of the shoes Nike is putting out has been going down fast. Pippen had 5 different signature (i.e Nike Air Pippen) models. I had all except for the 2s

I'm in the black/grey Jordan Iconz because I had a 40% off code with eastbay that I had to use that day. They're good enough, look weird on my feet though because of the tongue.

I have some LeBron Soldier 5's on deck though, sitting in the trunk waiting for the day I make a cut and my Jordan's bust, or I come down from a big jump and feel like I feel the floor under me (cushioning bottom out) or whatever. On the LeBron's, they fit about .5 size small but I ordered them online so I couldn't take them back, plus 13.5 is a difficult size.

The Pippen 1's are great though, I'm about to grab another pair of them (tons on eBay) and ditto with the Penny 1's. I'm looking to get into those Foamposite 1/2 cents too, but I don't do 100$+ on sneaks so I'm still waiting to catch them under MSRP.

Finishline.com has some beast colorways of the Hyperfuse too, black upper with the all red or all blue or all voltage outsole.

I got nothing against Adidas, like the Heat Check in the P.E colorways, but that's all

Nick Young in ID Kobe 5's. It's easily the most worn by a player other than the signature guy, shoe in the league. Behind him is probably LeBron's with so many Nike guys in the Soldier 5's and LeBron 8s, and then further behind is KD who used to be big too, but not as many players feeling the KD3 as they were the KD2.

Me neither. Usually. Not for shoes I'm going to be beating up on the court on a daily basis. But at the same time, with any physical activity it's important to have quality product on your feet while playing.

My girl just copped me the Air Jordan 2010 Welcome Home (Wade's) for $70 a mark down of a whopping $100 at the Nike Outlet.

We'll see how they feel on the court.

I'm waiting for the Nike Zoom Go Low to be my next hoop shoe purchase. Not too expensive, clean look, sure to be lightweight ... feature zoom, and they're low cut so they're good in my book.

Wade, CP3 has some, and Damien Wilkins I remember wearing the 2010s this yr. They look horrendous IMO. My favorite NBA player in terms of their sneaker selection is probably JR Smith and Dajuan Blair. He has worn almost every shoe I have mentioned (like 3 posts up) that I like with the Spurs blk/gry unis and JR Smith because he goes crazy with the ID's and then to have the dunk of the season in the Jordan CG 11's, increased swag by a trillion

Rip Hamilton, Joe Johnson as well as the Bobcat's FWDs in 2010

These weren't pippens they were Juwan Howard's Pippen's had 1 small air bubble in the back but the Juwan Howard's had the air bubble all the way around the shoe. The Pippen's were cheaper at about $80 while the howard's were the same price as jordan's $165.

Google Juwan Howard shoes and get NO pics of the shoe, Google Scottie Pippen shoe and get dozens of pics of the shoe...yet they were the Juwan Howards.

Not to mention the hilarious claim that a less popular player could charge over twice as much money for the EXACT same shoe with a slightly different air bubble lol

[Samurai Swoosh]

Not to mention the hilarious claim that a less popular player could charge over twice as much money for the EXACT same shoe with a slightly different air bubble lol
Not to mention in 1996, when THESE Air Max came out ... Jordan's were $125. There was no shoe that cost $165 and certainly no other player's shoe could sell at that price point. The Jordan's didn't increase to $150 until 1998. Only basketball shoe higher than that was the $180 Nike Penny Foamposites.

So are you trying to say they didn't have 2 different pairs of AIRs that came out 1 with the small air bubble and another with the long air bubble. Howard's were all white look it up. I had a pair with sky blue in the air bubble and i also had the cheap AIRs with the short air bubble (all black).

Please show me ANYTHING backing up any of this lol

And i think the debate was more towards the claim that Howard charged twice as much for his shoe than Pippen (and even more than Jordan) when the only difference was a different air bubble

I think when you went to the shoe store as a kid and asked for some Juwan Howards, the guy working there just said "uhhh...these" and your parents told you they were $160 bucks so you'd feel better about em

[InspiredLebowski]

They weren't anyone's signature shoe, and certainly not Juwan Howard's, a ton of guys wore them. They did make a cheaper version without the full length Air unit and just in the heel, but I can't remember anyone every wearing them.

don't you feel kinda silly after i updated the post, I bought them myself so if I told you the Penny's were $200 you would say I was lying right when in fact they were actually more than jordan's since the jordan's were $165 like i said earlier.

[wpdougie2180]

That's how much they were almost every show back then that had a long air bubble was around that price apparently you never wore Nikes back then or something.

lol oh i wore Nikes, I just never got tricked into paying $160+ for mediocre players shoes that featured limited edition airbubbles

Really?
This

use google. The man was huge (and so were the shoes with the huge AIR on the side)

Lots of Nike commercials.

His "Air Maestro" was his best Nike Commercial, even better than Stockton's commercial wearing the Air Maestro. i used to tape Inside Stuff when I was little, may go and dig out some of those VHS tapes, for Jam Sessions and Nike/Reebok commercials alone. (Reebok was actually #2 from like 91-94, adidas #3)
