Today in Sneaker History, basketball legend and “inventor” of the adidas Top Ten, Rick Barry was born in 1944.

#sneakerhistory
Rick Barry adidas Top Ten advertisement that reads: Rick Barry, Inventor When Rick Barry helped us create the adidas Top Ten basketball shoe, he knew it would have the severest critics of all: the U.S. "Top Ten" players. Rick pressed for every advantage. He insisted we develop the upper with a special Foreflex'" cut that lets the foot flex easily and in the correct position. And had us add an Ankle Saver'™ support system for increased protection. He had us remove a semi-circle from the heel-counter to prevent heel irritation. He watched as we perforated the toe area to ensure proper ventilation. And he demanded we build the deep herring-bone sole with a turning disc and a serrated edge for softness, traction and flex. Then Rick tested our adidas Top Ten on the "Top Ten". They all gave it their seal of approval. Now all we need is yours. Top Ten The adidas Top Ten is worn by "Top Ten" players Doug Collins, Marques johnson, Kermit Washington, Adrian Dantley, Bob Lanier, Bobby Jones, Billy Knight, Sidney Wicks, Mitch Kupchak and Kevin Grevey.
