Dennis Rodman is one of the most beloved former athletes out there. Overall, he is someone that has a very interesting personality. From his days as an ambassador to North Korea to his unique commentary on basketball, Rodman is a treasure. Although, there is no denying that sometimes, his delivery can rub people the wrong way. At the end of the day, Dennis Rodman is unapologetically himself, and you either love him or hate him for it. No matter what, his contributions to The Last Dance were simply amazing.
If you know anything about Rodman and his history as an athlete, you know he had his own shoe at one point. This sneaker was called the Nike Air Darwin which featured a chunky design. Overall, these designs were all the range back in the day, especially in 1994 when these debuted. In fact, the sneaker was known for having a backward swoosh near the back heel. Ultimately, it was a nice nod to his off-kilter personality. Subsequently, decades later, Travis Scott came through with a backward swoosh of his very own.
Dennis Rodman Jokes Around
As it turns out, Rodman has taken notice of Scott's design. According to TMZ, Rodman was at a Got Sole event in Chicago where a fan came up to him with a pair of Travis Scott Air Jordan 1s. Consequently, Rodman couldn't help but let people know that he was the true originator of this aesthetic. The former Bulls superstar looked at the camera and asked Scott to give him some credit. Mostly, Rodman didn't seem too pressed about it all. However, he did want to make it be known that he came up with the concept first.
Overall, it is clear that Travis' shoe has had a lot more impact than Rodman's. As unfortunate as it is to say, the Air Darwin is one of the shoes that hasn't had much of a revival. However, perhaps that will change now that people know the truth behind them. After all, Rodman definitely deserves the extra success. Let us know what you think about both of these shoes, in the comments below.
