Nike Zoom FP “Fun Police”
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Sep 16, 2008|
A decade ago, Nike Basketball launched a campaign of print and television ads to promote their headlining athletes where the group of superstars assembled the “Fun Police.” Their mission: to bring fun back to the game of basketball. Some of these commercials did cause a little bit of controversy for taking shots at NBA officials, but some of the 60 second spots earned awards in the advertising world (just a few more trophies for W+K). Next summer, Nike will bring back memories of the Fun Police by way of the Nike Zoom FP that takes design inspiration from the Zoom Flight V (Jason Kidd), Air Garnett III (Kevin Garnett), and Zoom Flight T Bug (Tim Hardaway). Much like the Sharkley from this year, the shoes are a mixture of Nike classics, but are still court ready with Zoom Air heel cushioning. Something a bit interesting (and ironic) is that two of the three shoes represented in the shoe were signature shoes for athletes who have left Nike (Kidd & Garnett). Look for these next May for $88.

Not a bad shoe for just $88! I passed on the Sharkleys and wish I hadn’t, but maybe I’ll get these. There are just too many good shoes out there and not enough money to buy them all. Bring back the Air Garnett 3’s!

Don’t forget the third guy Tim Hardaway is like banned from NBA events for homophobic comments that he made during the All Star Weekend in Vegas.

I like frankensneakers (I love my spizikes, my sharkleys, hell even my fusions) but I’m not a big fan of these “fun police” remakes. A definite pass for me.
