I have really been a Gilbert Arenas fan since his days as a Golden State Warrior, as soon as I read a story about him growing up under harsh circumstances, namely sleeping for a period of time in the car of his dad, about him not getting any respect, when he entered college and made it to the NBA (thus choosing the number 0, because that’s the amount of minutes that “everyone” thought he would get). He even felt he was so bad (WHILE HE WAS ALREADY AN NBA PLAYER!), that he joined a local church league in San Francisco. Until the Warriors got word of it, of course. Then in his Wizard days he hit a whole array of incredible buzzer beaters with his not-to-be-destroyed confidence, he also had his super entertaining blog on NBA.com, his own adidas signature sneakers and so on.

Then came the troubles in the last few years culminating in a gun incident, and so he entered the season without a shoe deal, but that way he was able to rock whatever dope kicks he wanted to. This included lots of J’s (like the Space Jams pictured below) and even a pair of Dolce&Gabbana shoes in a game against the Lakers.

Gil SJ G6 Gilbert Arenas is the true Sneaker Champ.

That’s the biggest dream for a sneaker head to showcase them at that stage, so even if his team got eliminated from the Playoffs, this makes him the ultimate SNEAKER CHAMP. That’s also his twitter name by the way: @thesneakerchamp and it’s all about the sneakers!!! You can also check which sneakers he wore for every game during the 2010-2011 NBA season on this site. Also SLAMonline.com has a nice gallery here.

And all of this really makes him someone to absolutely cheer for. At least to me.

After I got the Air Jordan XI Space Jams back in December, I just had to get this sweatshirt by UNDRCRWN, which is inspired by the sneakers. So here’s what the astronaut looks like with the real shoes.

And the original design.

UNDRCRWN has many nice basketball related items – plus other great stuff – and already a few years ago now, they did this collaboration with adidas on the Gil Zero. I love Gil and I love those shoes. Only after I wanted to send some information on them to Chrishimself recently, I found out that they are even limited to 750 pairs worldwide.

You feel like walking on the hardwood.

Apparently, this player card should be included with the shoes, but I guess mine was lost somewhere in between. Meaning, someone at the customs station stole it!

Please read this card carefully, because the last two sentences are as true as ever today. I am really pulling for Arenas to get back on the right track.
