Longtime Laker fans know all about the "Showtime" Era of the eighties. The easy generalization is to say that Magic and Kareem dominated, but anyone who's well-versed in basketball history knew just how vital James Worthy was to the Purple and Gold.
Big Game James signed on with New Balance in 1985, and in return, they gave him a shoe primed for the glitz and glamour of the Hollywood hardcourt. It marked the first time New Balance made a signature shoe for an athlete, and after almost thirty years, the "Worthy Express" 740 makes its way back to retail.
Coming back with as close to original build quality as possible, these 740s will certainly be a hit among Laker fans. Two colorways comprise the initial release, a simple black and white, as well as a white and purple look. Anyone interested should move fast though, as limited supply is only available at New Balance Glorietta and Alabang Town Center.
