One of the BIGGEST sitcoms on television in the 1990's was The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Will Smith was popular as a rapper, but solidified his spot as an iconic actor with his first show. Besides making us laugh, Will was known to rock heat on his feet, and his favorite pair of kicks seemed to be the Jordan V's. Throughout the show's run, Will wore the OG VI's, the "Cardinal" 7's, and the "Bugs Bunny" 7's, but his most notable pair has to be the V's.
The lavender nubuck suede provides the foundation, and thats when you pay close attention to the contrast. One shoe is accented in pink along the midsole and Jumpman logo, while the other is given a lime green accent. The interior of these kicks feature a multi-color pattern that is reminiscent to the colorful gear the Fresh Prince rocked on the TV show.
The sole is finished with an icy Blue gel sole that has lime green accents on the bottom front and the midsection of the sole as well.
Back in 2009 and 2010, KickGame DVD was the FIRST website to touch on the Fresh Prince and his Air Jordan V's. We appreciate when Nike execs listen and brings back a classic, or in this case, debut an entirely new colorway that pays tribute to a show that is still in syndication this very day. Although Will went on to make blockbuster movies like "Bad Boys" and "Independence Day", he'll forever be loved for being the rapper who hit it big on our TV screens. On October 5th, these kicks will touch down. Parents just don't understand, but we do! Haaa! Cali "O" #TeamKickGame
