    I was surfing the net looking at basketball shoes when I came across the Reebok Mens Wink DMX. When did these come out? Last I heard was that the release date was Feb 2001. Does anyone have more info on the shoes like colors etc...? These are some sweet looking shoes compared to last years.

    New Kicks, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, October 21,2000

    Houston guard Steve Francis will have a new basketball shoe on the market in February called "SS Wink 1 DMX." The shoe will have his last name across the back and his number and nickname "Wink" on the sole.

    "It was given to me as a youngster," he said of the nickname. "They always thought I was fast as a wink. That name has stuck with me ever since I was 7 or 8 years old. It's still true now."

    Not bad, unfortunately I don't have the money for new shoes right now. By the time I do, they'll probably be off the market.

    I hope they come with a barf bag because those look ugly. I have Stevie's Blacktops and those look cool but these are just nasty.

    Stick with Cat's Nikes.

    Francis wore the new shoes vs the Sixers last night, but only for the first half. He came out in the 2nd half wearing the black version. I wonder why?
