The shoe was totally iced- out. It matched the player. Tim Duncan was cold blooded, ice cold. He was cooler than the other side of the pillow. He wore the same uniform as the orginal ice man, but flossed a different number. His game was sweet. It wasn’t about showboating or the prettiest crossovers and moves. He was about the grind, the basics, and he treated the backboard like a date: he kissed it all night long. Duncan liked shoes that shined, that made bold statement. So when the Total Air Foamposite Max was released, he was the first to put it on and show it off.
