When most people think about signature shoes, tennis isn’t the sport that typically pops up in their minds. Instead, it’s basketball.
But what most people don’t know is that a literal tennis shoe is the sneaker that paved the way for all of the signature basketball footwear that we’ve come to know and love today. Simply put, we don’t get to the Air Jordan signature line from Michael Jordan without John McEnroe’s Mac Attack.
The Mac Attack is the sneaker the former tennis superstar wore in the late 80s on the tennis court. It was originally created in 1984 in one lone grey, black and white colorway.
