其實Sefolosha從很久以前就固定穿air max90上場了
之前受傷復健時
他覺得air max 90很好穿
復出之後就決定穿這雙
不過應該是特製款
可惜nike沒有幫他出上市配色

Thabo Sefolosha is the only NBA player to wear this iconic NIKE shoe. Here's why
Sefolosha 是現役NBA中唯一穿這雙經典的
SALT LAKE CITY — Glancing around the Utah Jazz’s practice facility, you’ll notice players rocking an assortment of different sneakers.
在爵士隊場館你會看到不同樣式的鞋款
The Nike Air Max Audacity 2016s are All-Star center Rudy Gobert’s go-to sneaker.
Rookie Donovan Mitchell loves to ball out in hisdidas Dame 4 shoes.
Or what about Austrailian forward Joe Ingles, who is committed to the Nike Kobe 10s, while others switch it up depending on their moods.
Not Thabo Sefolosha, though. He’s consistent.
不同於其他人 Sefolosha穿的永遠不會變
For the past couple years, the 33-year-old has exclusively balled in one shoe:he Nike Air Max 90.
過去幾年他一直穿著Air Max 90
Yes, one of the Swoosh’s most iconic running shoes designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield is being used by the Jazz forward.
這個爵士隊的前鋒一直著用傳奇設計師Hatfield的經典跑鞋
“People ask me all the time, ‘How do I play in them?’ I just lace them up and run,” Sefolosha explained while grinning.
"人們問我要怎麼穿著打球，我回說綁好鞋帶你就可以跑了"Sefolosha笑著說
The Air Max 90s have been released by Nike for nearly three decades and embedded in the fabric of popular sneaker culture. They feature lightweight comfort, but the waffle-patterned outsoles aren’t necessarily built for the hardwood.
NIKE發售Air Max 90s 有三十年了，已經被鑲嵌在球鞋文化裡。它展現了輕量舒適，但鬆餅樣式的外底並不是為了硬木板設計的。
Sefolosha insists he hasn’t run into any issues (knock on wood).
Sefolosha 強調他並未因此在場上遇到任何問題
He is the only active NBA player sporting that particular model,ccording to NBA Shoes DB.
他是現役球員中唯一穿著此款式的，從NBA shoe DB網站中可以看到。
*這個網站紀錄各鞋款與穿著球員
“I just play in what’s comfortable, to be honest,” Sefolosha said. “That was the main thing for me, just being comfortable.
"我只是挑穿起來舒服的鞋，畢竟對我來說最重要就是舒適。"
“I think they have great grip for somebody like me that kind of slides a lot and needs to be quick on the court,” he added. “That was my thought process and after that I just try to put some flavor on that and add some color.”
"他有足夠的摩擦力應付我在場上的橫移與衝刺，所以我只需要挑選樣式和配色就好了。"
His teammates applaud him for being loyal to the vintage mid-cut shoes, but won't be following the trend anytime soon.
他的隊友讚賞他對這復古鞋的忠誠，但從不敢跟隨潮流。
“I couldn’t do it. I don’t know how he does it,” Mitchell said. “It’s definitely swaggy, though, but I don’t know if I could do it. He just said it felt comfortable one game and that’s how he got on to it.”
Mitchell認為這鞋是僅限於修飾人，但Sefolosha覺得拿來打球很舒服，完全無法理解他如何做到。
Ingles wouldn’t entertain slipping into a pair of those on the court.
“I’d roll my ankle walking in them,” Ingles joked. “Yeah, we’ve made fun of him a couple times, but to his credit, he’s done it for a while now and I think it obviously doesn’t affect him because he’s played at a pretty high level for a very long time.”
Ingles認為自己穿上之後可能一走就會扭到，而大家也一直開他玩笑，但因為他的level比一直我們高了太多，我們完全影響不了他。
Gobert is a fan of the Air Maxes from a lifestyle aspect, but not for performance.
“I was surprised but I asked him and he said ‘It feels good,’” Gobert said. “I like to walk in them but I can’t play in them.”
Sefolosha exclusively transitioned to the kicks after a troublesome time in his life.
Sefolosha特有的穿鞋選擇是在他的人生轉捩點之後
He suffered a broken fibula and ankle damage during an incident with five New York City police offers on April 8, 2015, when he was arrested outside a Manhattan nightclub during his time playing with the Atlanta Hawks.
當2015年8月，Sefolosha效力於老鷹時他在Manhattan夜店外與紐約警方衝突時傷了膝蓋與腳踝。
Six months later, Sefolosha was acquitted of all charges thenon a $4 million settlementthis past April with the police department after he claimed false arrest, excessive force, malicious protection and false imprisonment, according to ESPN reports.
六個月後他向紐約警局索賠
The injuries forced Sefolosha to miss the remainder of that 2014-15 regular season with the Hawks as they made a deep playoff run, before being swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
傷勢使他錯過很多比賽
During the rehabilitation process Sefolosha discovered the Air Maxes.
復健期間他發現的這個系列
He and his size 15 feet have never looked back. And the rest is history.
“I just put some insoles in there that I’ve got made to model my feet,” Sefolosha said. “That’s just something to feel a little more comfortable. Pretty much every other player plays with some insoles so that’s just a standard thing.”
它完全是為了我的腳而生，實在太舒適。其他球員都穿一些制式的東西。
Sefolosha grew up playing in whatever shoes his mom could afford. Sometimes that included Patrick Ewing’s, Reeboks or anything that didn’t completely hurt the family’s pockets. He’s also a huge fan of the Kobe Bryant-inspired Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4.
從小到大他穿過很多鞋
On July 18, Sefolosha signed a two-year, $10.5 million deal with the Jazz as a free agent after stops in Chicago, Oklahoma City and Atlanta.
7/18在歷經三隊之後他與鹽湖城簽了兩年合約
Typically, on game days he decides which colors to play in depending on the jerseys.
通常他會在比賽日的時候依據球衣顏色搭配
He customizes his sneakershrough NikeID. Some of his favorite Utah-themed Air Maxes are forest green with a gold swoosh and his white/navy blue ones.
他常用訂製服務，他也喜歡猶他隊色調的森林綠底金勾或是白底海軍藍兩種。
At this point of his career, it’s highly unlikely that the 12-year veteran will ever switch to a different model. His on-court fashion has helped him reach a legendary status in the sneaker culture, similar to Rasheed Wallace and his high top Nike Air Force 1s.
這不像一個12年老將會做的事。他的場上時尚就像Rasheed的AF1一樣是個傳奇
*他沒有市售球員版，還不是傳奇
“At this point, honestly I don’t think so. I don’t know,” Sefolosha said. “It’ll be tough to switch.”
我其實也不知道，但是我很不捨得換別款鞋
Contrary to popular belief, that wasn’t done by design.
不同於我們所猜，那是未經特製過的
“I like it,” he said. “I didn’t do it for that reason, I did it for comfort
我喜歡它，不想特製是因為我認為他原本就夠舒服，我認為這樣是很酷的，而且希望大家也
