Question for you guys: What Nikes do you rely on to outfit teams in the 80's and 90's?

The Nike Blazers and Air Force Ones are suitable for a lot of the 80's but as you near the end of the decade, Nikes began developing a busier, 90's-centric vibe and I'm struggle to find solid fillers.

So, any others you guys use aside from those two?

The different adidas shoes added this year helped a little bit. Doing your own colorways of the Jordan I and Nike Dunks can work too.

For Modern Era classic teams, I do use a lot of AF1’s up until ‘95–then I use the Kyrie 3 which is actually extremely versatile because it has a good “white” version and a good “black” version. In the mid 2000s, I use the Hyperdunk 2008 and in the late 2000s I use the Hurache (I have no interest in teams beyond 2010).

I take MJW’s roster and make 2 files: a “Season” file that has teams wearing white shoes in a real life season doing so, and a “Playoff” file that has teams wearing black shoes doing so. I can’t see the 90’s Bulls wearing black shoes unless it’s the postseason.

A ton of Reebok and Adidas - both were booming in the 90's.

They had those 90s converse mids that were perfect too. Not sure why they got rid of them

Much appreciated. I forgot about using the Kyrie 3's and Jordan 1's. I'll need to make some basic colorways for each.

Turned the game on to see specifically what I've used:

Hyperdunk X High (colorway): good for a '90s basic and boxy look

Hyperdunk 2008 (model): okay for some teams that did a white/home and black/away scheme

Kyrie 3 (colorway): great option for '90's shoes

Kyrie 4 (colorway): some mid '90s players wore white shoes with a black tongue area so the first option is a great model

Kyrie 5 (colorway): okay substitute for the Maestros from the early/mid '90s

*For '93 Barkley fans who don't want to create his CB 34 shoe, use the white and purple Kobe I colorway for home and black Kyrie 4 colorway for away

Some of the Lebrons work for 90s shoes. Just a quick edit to make them white/black with whatever team color. I think I used the 7s for air flights. Does the job
