A couple of weeks ago we got a look at a Air Jordan XIII Kansas Jayhawks Player Exclusive. That Player Exclusive was made for the Kansas Jayhawks during the 2004-2005 season.  Well here we have another Air Jordan XIII Player Exclusive that was also made in 2004, but this time it was made for one lucky NBA player.

This Air Jordan XIII is a player exclusive of Mikael Pietrus, who now plays for the Orlando Magic. Most of the sneaker is covered with white leather. Navy Blue is seen on areas such as the midsole and heel panel. Also added to the shoe are Mickael Pietrus initials, as they are placed on the tongue. Since these were produced in 2004, they were likely worn by Pietrus during his Golden State Warrior days. If your willing to drop some major cash, go place a bid on eBay.

Guchimasta’s love of the Golden State Warriors has been expressed in artistic form with these custom Nike Dunks. The shoes feature the blue/yellow colorway used on the old school Warriors jersey that is popular among retro jersey and hat fans. The designer added the words “We Believe” that were popularized during the team’s improbable 2007 playoff run to the outsides of both heels.

Warriors fans who love the team’s old jerseys will like Guchimasta’s use of retro touches in finishing The City Dunks. The title phrase is written in yellow paint just underneath the collars between the yellow laces and yellow Nike swoosh. The port hole view of San Francisco’s Bay Bridge is painted above the “We Believe” print to complete the old school effect.

I found these photos in Guchimasta’s post on Nike Talk linked here. I am sure that the Warriors will come back in 2008-2009 with another fast-paced, high scoring season for fans like the designer highlighted here. The only question is whether the Warriors can surprise enough teams this year to crack into the Western Conference’s tough playoff race. Every Warriors fan can look longingly to the franchise’s past and enjoy great custom sneakers by looking at the pictures in this post.
