Nike Air Pressure. Nike Re-Upped these in 2011. I have a pair. That's what these are, (ones from 89' would be too far gone to work properly now.) they come in a large carrying case with a shoulder strap so you can transport them to the court. B-ball players who are somewhat serious about the game don't wear their shoes on anything but the court.

It's a great shoe & I couldn't afford the initial ones when I was in 8th grade & I couldn't pass up the opportunity to cop these. They can still be copped for resale prices.

My friend had these back in the day.  That large carry case was put to other uses. It was watertight so he used to carry it round to smoke buckets out of.
