Will smith shoe game

That was all by design. The yellow No. Will was big on bold lines, whether it was striped shirts or boldly blocked sneakers. In some regions, they are worn religiously, a mandatory winter staple. Out west in sunny California, Will wore his Timbs throughout the entire series in brown and gum, all black or the classic wheats, cementing a legacy of the iconic Timberland Boot far beyond any one weather season or social scene.

With crisscrossing straps and a collar panel reminiscent of the Air Jordan 8 from the same year, Will could be seen in the Force Highs on 12 different episodes, whether working shifts at the Peacock Stop, lounging at home or while out on dates. When The Fresh Prince landed dual-sport superstar Bo Jackson for one of its first star cameo appearances, also making for its first two-part episode, Will and Jackson went all out, even recording a promo plug that ran throughout NBC in the week leading up to the episode.

After kicking off season six in Timberlands for the first four episodes, Will thankfully upped his sneaker game and continued his Barkley tributes. Jordan never wore the initial white, black and red colorway of the Air Jordan 9 on the court for the Bulls — only in Space Jam , which he filmed during his first retirement from the NBA when the shoes dropped.

But Will made sure to give the 9s some run in prime time during season four of Fresh Prince. Nobody in the history of sports or pop culture wore the colors black and red together quite like Bulls superstar Jordan. By the time the episode aired, Jordan was already playing in the Air Jordan 7, but less than a year had passed since His Airness had led the Bulls to their first title in franchise history in the same sneakers Will laced up just one time on Fresh Prince.

That means the shoe is in every episode. They were first released — with a high patent leather cut, icy sole, white upper and Columbia blue Jumpman — in February , when Jordan debuted them on-court in the NBA All-Star Game. A few months later, Will rocked them in the last three episodes of Fresh Prince. During a dream sequence in the season one Courting Disaster episode of Fresh Prince, Will envisions himself as a pro basketball player while imagining what an ad for his own signature basketball sneaker would look like.

In the dream commercial, Will beats Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas in a game of one-on-one, before a narrator references his kicks. Smith and Jaden have worked together on other projects, including their roles in the film, "The Pursuit of Happyness.
