Nike Sky Force Low Michael Sugar Ray Richardson | June 13th at the HOH
Jun 12, 2009 | Comments 6
Knicks fans know the story all too well. In 1978, the New York Knicks selected Michael Ray Richardson over Larry Bird, starting a long couple of decades for the franchise and their fans. Richardson was talented, and billed as the next Walt "Clyde" Frazier, but he and the Knicks could not produce during his short stint with the team. Richardson would eventually end up in Golden State in a deal the brought Bernard King to the Knicks, who would later go down with a career ending knee injury, and then the Nets where he helped topple the Philadelphia 76ers in the playoffs. Unfortunately for Richardson, his career would be cut short due to his lifetime ban from the NBA for failing numerous drug tests.
In a nod to what could have been for the Knicks and the Richardson's career, Nike is set to release the Michael Sugar Ray Richardson Nike Sky Force Low tomorrow, June 13th, at the House of Hoops. The Sugar Ray Nike Sky Force Low features a pearly White patent leather upper that is "sugar coated" with Gold glitter on the laces, the tongue, the heel, and on the clear outsole.
The Sugar Ray Nike Sky Force Low is a HOH exclusive.

For those who don't know this is a long over looked shoe for a much over looked player. Nike did right for bringing this back, regardless of the execution. If anyone hasn't read Sole Provider 30 years of Nike Basketball, hey feature this shoe and Sugar Ray along with the advertisement for the shoe. I think Chris Rock also narrated an ESPN program on him back in the day.
what the hell is this? these are for chicks. ripochet is correct brng bak those old knicks colors. nike is a ******* joke
