HIBACHI




When adidas approached me to do the Gil II Zero collection, it was originally going to be a shoe for every game. When that was deemed impossible, it went to every game after the allstar break. Then we got it to 20. The crazy thing is that it all went down in a month. Designs and protos. I ended up doing about 30 or so versions but we got it down to the 20.
With Gil back, I'm sure he's going to try and wear all of them. Even if he has to wear 2 or 3 a game. Here are the Hibachi's that were in collaboration with Benihana. The original design had the wasabi bottom, which I liked better. Oh well.
