In 1984, the Air Jordan shoe was born and the sneaker industry has never been the same.
That same year, another signature sneaker hit stores to limited success except for in the hallways of Houston high schools.
The Etonic Akeem the Dreams were the signature shoe of Rockets rookie Akeem Olajuwon. Although it had a brief resurgence with a limited re-release in 2014, the Akeem the Dreams have pretty much vanished like Michael Jordan retiring from basketball and avoiding Olajuwon and the Rockets in the NBA Finals.
Now, an online vintage store has discovered a rare Akeem the Dream promotional item and is offering it to the highest bidder.
