The year was 1998, Spike Lee teamed up with Denzel Washington and Ray Allen to make the film 'He Got Game'. During the film several Nike and Jordan sneakers were worn throughout. Jake Shuttlesworth played by Denzel Washington early on & Jesus Shuttlesworth played by Ray Allen later on in the movie rocked the Air Jordan XIII's. This upcoming weekend on March 16 Jordan Brand will release the 'He Got Game' colorway featured in the movie. Let's not forget about Booger played by Hill Harper, he balled in the Penny Foamposite One during a pickup game. Allen, Harper and their high school teammates Travis Best, Walter McCarty and John Wallace rocked Nike Air Uptempo 97's. Jesus Shuttlesworth even rocked a pair of Nike Pro Pearls. He also rocked a pair of Nike Air Max Uptempo 98' on the movie poster cover. I'm sure Jordan Brand will probably have a limited edition of 'He Got Game' XIII's available, lately it's been all about being 'exclusive'. I've watched the movie several times, so may times I lost count. Ray Allen, Denzel Washington and Hill Harper are some of my favorite people. We are coming up on 15 years since the film debuted yet it feels like yesterday. I remember going to watch the movie on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania at age 16 while in 11th grade a Parkway (Gamma) Program high school. Allen has been one of my favorite basketball players since his college days at UConn.
