I remember my mom worked really hard to buy me some shoes when I was in the 8th grade for basketball season at Just for Feet.  If I'm not mistaken they appeared in a commercial Nike had for march madness where some people burned stuff in a bonfire.  I think they had tuned air tech which was relatively new at the time.  I have tried looking everywhere with no luck, I also own the Sole Provider book and didn't find them there either.  Any help would be great.  Thanks in advanced!

thanks man but nope, I know those are KG's... makes me think maybe I bought some sort of cross training basketball looking shoe that had tuned air.

There definatly was a tuned air basketball shoe, and it had a cross trainer look to it...Whitish/grey color with orange tuned air and a small swoosh towards the rear of the shoe

this sounds a lot like it... and no they weren't the VisZoom Uptempo I know that shoe pretty well in fact I know pretty much the majority of Nike BBall shoes after '96 which is why I asked for help on this one... thanks for all the responses guys... the shoes I had were a Black, White colorway.
Edit: just saw the Nike commercial I was talking about and it had nothing to do with the shoes I had... for some reason that image popped up from my childhood they had the Vis Zoom like like bouncing boy suggested.

Yes, there was an original tuned air basketball shoe but I can never remember the @$#! name - and I owned them!  Let me dig around for a little bit.

Those are them up above...Nike Tuned Force....I thought there was more orange in them, maybe a different colorway, but those are the ones I was thinking of

So will we ever see JB drop the retro 4+ blue speckle that was supposed to be after 25 years of waiting?
