Is it déjà vu all over again? Another shortened season has the Knicks staring at another #8 seed. Most fans wouldn’t consider that something to smile about, but long-time New York supporters might feel differently. Coming in as heavy underdogs against the top-seeded Miami Heat in the 1999 NBA Playoffs, Allan Houston sparked an NBA Finals run by dropping a series-winning runner in the Nike Air Zoom Vis Uptempo. Was Melo’s game-winner over the conferencing leading Bulls a foreword for a sequel? We’ll find out in May.

Who: Allan Houston
Kicks: Nike Air Vis Zoom Uptempo
Event: Series Winning Shot against the Miami Heat
Date: May 16, 1999

New Balance introduces the 998 in yet another sophisticated colorway this spring. This pair sports a rich brown suede and mesh upper with black leather accents scattered throughout. An off-white midsole, as well as red branding on the tongue and heel tab, finishes this pair off. Now available at select retailers such as Bows and Arrows.

A speckled sole adds flavor to the Reebok Zig Pro Future. White drenches the upper for blanked out branding while black provides contrast on the midsole, laces, and lining. Available at Finish Line.

A Yankees starter channels a Knicks closer on the Jordan Melo M8 Cleats. Home and away makeups of this cleated Melo signature will be worn on the mound by C.C. Sabathia this MLB season.
