Fila Ninety6 – Phoenix Suns
Since the release of the Fila Ninety6, formerly the signature sneaker of Grant Hill, a few different color variations have been released but until now none of them resembled the team Hill plays for today. Seen here is a gray, yellow and purple color scheme of the Ninety6 which looks like something you would see on the feet of the Phoenix Suns players. Is this a sign that Fila wants Grant Hill back, or Fila just making bank off his old signature sneakers? Either way who cares, this is a pretty nice looking colorway of the Ninety6 if you ask me. No info on a release date at this time. Via: Complex
Jeff Staple (Reed Space) x Fila Ninety6 (96)
Jeff Staple who many of you know as the founder of Reed Space and the designer of the Pigeon Dunks and New Balance sneakers has hooked up with Fila on the Ninety6 (96). Fila allowed Jeff to knock out 3 exclusive colorways of the Fila Ninety6 (Grant Hill 2 Retro) which will only be found for sale at his shop, Reed Space in NYC. Jeff used the classic OG white/navy model which he added a few personal touches too, along with a New York Knicks colorway reppin their hometown team and lastly a CMYK color separation version which creates a flashy looking color scheme. Reed Space branding is found throughout each model on the heel tag and on the inner side panel.
For a chance to pick one of these up hit up Reed Space on Firday, November 21st for their official release. There has been no mention of a retail price at this time. Solo shot of each model follows after the jump.
