Heritage Photos: #history #heritage unofficially today I went thru 35 years of sports illustrated covers from when they started til 1992. The significance of this one? This shot of #LarryLegend #larrybird in the 1979 #finalfour wearing the #nikeblazer #blazer is the first sighting of the swoosh on the cover of SI. unofficially!! #nikebasketball #indianastate #arkansasrazorbacks (rockin the blazer too!!) Legend has it that Bird wore all the brands in his last year at ISU in order to try and develop a bidding war between the sneaker companies. Eventually he signed with #converse along with #magic and would bring the ( what I would consider ) iconic #Weapon to market. #sportisourpassion #tellthestory #knowledge #shoegametriviacrack #idontconsiderittrivial ✔️💯🏀 by xmasinorlando
