Going back almost to the original release of Foamposite and the introduction of personalized Player Exclusive basketball shoes, there has to be hundreds upon hundreds of Nike Basketball PEs that never saw the light of day for any possible reason. The colors didn’t match, the player didn’t like them, your guess is as good as any other.
