Where did Scottie Pippen go to college? Done guessing? University of Central Arkansas. That’s right, one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players as voted in 1996 to honor the league’s 50th anniversary was a walk-on at a school that wasn’t even a member of the NCAA at the time. So if you see this Nike Pippen 6 featuring an array of purple throughout the iridescent patent leather mudguard and Swoosh branding and are searching for a reason as to why Nike made this colorway, look no further than Scottie’s collegiate career as a Sugar Bear. His sixth signature has been all about paying homage to his different stops throughout his illustrious basketball career. While we’re still scratching out heads at what the denim lifestyle variety was trying to accomplish, the Raging Bull and traditional Bred colorways were an obvious nod to his time under the spotlight as a Chicago Bull. Check out more photos after the break and stay tuned for more of Nike Basketball’s latest and greatest right here on SneakerNews.
