When Chris said "Hope they watch this, people only like Jordans" I felt that. Too many hypebeast nowadays. I got me a pair of these Tmac 3's and got the Black / Royal colorway as well on the way. Had these back in the day as well. Too many memories! Tmac was the GOAT before injuries right up there with Kobe in the 2000's.

I agree but at the same time adidas needs to step up their game in marketing in keeping their legacies. I barely see contents nowadays about Tmac or DRose from Adidas

What’s sad though is the OG colorways of the Tmac 2 that released this year sold out everywhere online almost immediately and were put up on stock x and goat. Really wanted them for retail but not gonna pay more, hopefully I’ll have a better chance with these

I'm telling you cause I bought like 5 colorways of the tmac 2.0 and the Splatter coloway I didn't purchase til a week and half later.

You are absolutely right about Tmac when he was healthy he was a problem! Vince was good but Tmac was on another level. Penny as well. I think he's been a bit underrated as time goes by. I loved his game and when he was healthy he was a legit. As a full on Nike head(I know it's stupid) there were only a few non nike/jordan shoes I actually wanted and bought. This was one of them shoes! There were a few Tmac shoes I really liked!

@@duMaurier15 yeah VC had better playoff runs that still ended the same way Vinces did with no chip. But individually Tmac was on another level from Vince and most others players at that time. Kobe acknowledged, on many occasions, how special Tmac wss. That's not a knock against VC at all because he was fantastic in his own right.

I used to hoop and play floor hockey in these and I loved them! My favorite part about them was the internal lacing system, as it secured the foot in an amazing way and I was able to sprint/stop on a dime/cut without without them moving. Aside from the Kobe 5's, these were my favorite baskeball shoe of all time.

Man I've been living under a rock these past 5 years or so when it comes to the shoe world. Just haven't had the funds to pay attention to it all. Seeing these re-released (just found out last week) brought back some fond memories of me and my dad. Had the tmac 2s and always wanted the 3s but I'm not sure if I ever got them. I remember not pulling the trigger on the all stars due to the 2 different color shoes. T-Mac has always been my favorite player as he's the one who got me into playing ball. Found this channel by looking for reviews of this shoe and I'm glad I did. Reignited that love I once had for the shoe game. Grabbed the black 3s last night, can't wait to get them in

I had 3 T-Mac models when I was a kid. The T-Mac 2 lows, the T-Mac 3 in black with blue and the T-Mac 4 in white with red stripes. The first one was made out of terrible materials and later I gave them away, but I still have the latter pairs. I even took the 3's out to play ball 2 years ago and then noticed that the outsole was ripping away, which is no surprise considering their age. Comfy shoes, if a bit bulky. Now, the 4's...bruh! Those are tanks. I don't even know how Tracy McGrady played in them, because they're both heavy and stiff, but they look futuristic and pretty dope.
@kquiteno 2 жыл бұрын
Man these bring me WAYYYY back. Like elementary. Lol T-Mac is my all time favorite player. Beyond MJ and Kobe. Tracy McGrady was the first player that caught my eye and the things he would do on the court made me a fan. His shoe line is so underrated its ridiculous. It hurts knowing his injuries are what held him back from a legit chance for a ring but he's a Hall of Famer and that's all that matters. The #1 Orlando Magic blue jersey was my first jersey ever! I haven't been able to get the recent restomods of the T-Mac line but if I get a chance I'm doing it. All in. Every single pair every OG colorway.

I had an OG pair as a young kid in the black variation. I will never forget my parents surprised me with them before basketball camp that summer. Great shoe, looked fantastic and the OG was so much fun to wear and play ball in. I recently saw the resto-mods in this same white color scheme and had to get them. Honestly, the t-mac 4 is my favorite shoe of all time (hope they do a restomod on it soon) but this t-mac 3 is probably one of the cleanest and sleekest looking basketball shoes ever made esp in this particular white and blue color scheme. T-mac was an is still my favorite player too.
