i had my original pair for 10 years - it was a 10.5 that literally stretched to fit my foot - which had been to 4 continents, played all sorts of sports (vball, football, soccer, tennis, and basketball), and eventually the tread was worn down flatter than patrick ewing's hair. i remember kidd with the mavs, tim hardaway's utep 2 step, a young pg from the univ of hawaii named anthony carter.. all doing crazy stuff in those bug eyed shoes.
of course, i didn't know that before i bought them (at the old old duty free, down in the basement).. i just got them 'cause i thought they looked cool, and i needed a new pair of shoes for school.
