Michael Vick has one of the NFL’s defining signature sneaker lines with a series of Nike shoes that matched his electric play with the Atlanta Falcons in the 2000s. Before that, he was turning heads by wearing Air Jordan 17s on the field. On this episode, he breaks down how his Nike deal happened, how he got back together with Nike, and why he wants to start his own footwear brand now. Vick touches on the influence his shoes had in Atlanta specifically, where the Nike Vick line was embraced by the likes of T.I. and Young Jeezy. Also in the episode, cohosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty talk Nigo’s upcoming Nike collab and Nike’s incoming CEO, Elliott Hill.

As an Eagles fan 2010 -2011 was a good time. Vick was really balling.
I am way overdue for a trip back home and some Jollibee, its been a decade since. Happy you had a good time in the Phils!
I really miss FSR ❤
I just threw out one of my old Vick pairs last month lolol. I had a bunch of his sneakers. But the rubber was getting sticky and breaking down.
