I was trying to remember the name of a shoe that came out around ten to fifteen years ago the other day and kept pulling up blanks, so I wondered if anyone here could help me out.
It was a basketball style of shoe that I believe had a single syllable name, like Flak or Blam.
The commercial was really basic and it had this fast talking black guy telling you everything that was great about the sneaker.
That's really all that I could remember, but if I heard the name I would know that was it.
Ring any bells?

The only 'forgotten shoe' I can think of, was those old BK Dymacel ones from the early 90's... whatever happened to those?

I believe they still make Fila's and that's not NOT one syllable, it's two.
This shoe was very short lived and came out during the big basketball Michael Jordon hype, around 95-97 I believe.
It's the commercial that is sticking out for me not the shoe itself.

What were those Sneaker that Clyde Drexler always used to pimp out? I remember the commercials he was dressed up like a Doctor because of his whole "Dr. J" thing. It had to of been like when I was 5 years old so like 1990 was around the time they were showing that thing.
