Mike Bibby’s Player Exclusive Sneakers

A post shared by Sneaker History (@sneakerhistory)

Let’s face it: Mike Bibby’s collection of Air Jordan sneakers is the stuff of legends. From Air Jordan 2s to Air Jordan 23 Lows and nearly every coveted model in between, his stash is any sneakerhead’s dream. 

But these were not just your run-of-the-mill releases! They were special editions crafted especially for him as a Jordan Brand athlete. Each pair was decked out in his team’s colours and often included a personal touch or two to make the design extra special. 

During his impressive 14-season career in the NBA, Mike Bibby played for several teams, including Vancouver, Sacramento, Atlanta, Washington, Miami, and New York. This journey enabled the point guard to sport Player Exclusives (PEs) in a range of unique colourways, with many being specially designed low-top versions. 

Nonetheless, Bibby is perhaps best remembered for his seven impactful seasons with the Sacramento Kings, which was when he sported the stunning Air Jordan 17 Player Exclusives, perfectly dressed up like the King that it is.

A Closer Look at the “Kings Home” AJ17

The Air Jordan 17 ‘Kings Home’ proudly displays the Kings’ iconic colors of “White” and “Varsity Purple”. The sneaker is adorned with a white leather upper, featuring royal purple accents on the sock liner, midsole, and various other elements, creating a striking visual for NBA enthusiasts and sneakerheads alike. 

Adding a signature touch, the sock liner has ‘BIB10TD’ stitched on it. This clever abbreviation blends Mike Bibby’s surname, jersey number, and iconic ‘Team Dime’ logo. For those unfamiliar, Team Dime represents Bibby’s close-knit circle of family and friends, making this detail both unique and significant. 

The look is polished off with a “Chrome” strip on the heel paired seamlessly with matching eyelets and a white rubber outsole. Together, these features create a sleek and futuristic look for the AJ 17. It’s a perfect mix of style and understated elegance, honouring Bibby’s legacy as both an NBA star and a genuine sneakerhead.

How to Grab a Pair of These PE’s
