Converse AS Rodman
In an era where ink is everywhere, it’s easy to forget that artwork worn by JR Smith and Wiz Khalifa was once far from the norm. Years before even AI, Dennis Rodman was the posterboy for tattoos in the NBA. The Converse AS Rodman was the first and only shoe to explicitly wear his name, but it was also perhaps the most memorable Converse Rodman as it played off his tats.
As Eastbay Memory Lane as done by Nick Engvall would point out, the signature shoe was ‘inspired by Rodman’s body art and on-court intensity.’ Jackpot. Even better? They retailed for $91. The beauty was definitely in the details on these, yet and still they were built like a functional hoops shoe.
