5. Nike Shox BB4

via @TheShoeGame

Year: 2000
Players: Vince Carter

Undoubtedly this sneaker gained it’s fame from Vince Carter’s nasty posterization in 2000. Nike’s newer cushioning technology at the time may of provided that extra spring for Vince as he jumped cleanly over a seven-footer creating one of the best posters in history.
