The Seatle Supersonics were one of the top teams in NBA history from the West, at the time. Being drafted in the 5th round, in 1987, Scottie Pippen was only part of the team for a few weeks before Jerry Krause, the Bulls general manager made a few moves and adjustments to make the trade for Olden Polynice. This came to be known as one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history as Scottie Pippen significantly assisted the championship Chicago Bulls as we all remember, with six championship rings, two olympic gold medals, seven all-star selections, and 10 All-defense nods.
In recognition of the upcoming NBA lottery draft, Nike Sportswear is commemorating the draft by releasing a 'lottery pack' of sneakers of the select notable athletes. Scottie Pippen's Air Pippen, earned the colorway of the Seattle Supersonics with the special insole featuring lottery balls with the highlighted jersey number, 33. The shoe has a white leather upper with maize and green accents throughout the shoes.
