其实Sefolosha从很久以前就固定穿air max90上场了
之前受伤复健时
他觉得air max 90很好穿
复出之后就决定穿这双
不过应该是特制款
可惜nike没有帮他出上市配色

Thabo Sefolosha is the only NBA player to wear this iconic NIKE shoe. Here's why
Sefolosha 是现役NBA中唯一穿这双经典的
SALT LAKE CITY — Glancing around the Utah Jazz’s practice facility, you’ll notice players rocking an assortment of different sneakers.
在爵士队场馆你会看到不同样式的鞋款
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.
不同于其他人 Sefolosha穿的永远不会变
For the past couple years, the 33-year-old has exclusively balled in one shoe:he Nike Air Max 90.
过去几年他一直穿着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.
这个爵士队的前锋一直著用传奇设计师Hatfield的经典跑鞋
“People ask me all the time, ‘How do I play in them?’ I just lace them up and run,” Sefolosha explained while grinning.
"人们问我要怎么穿着打球，我回说绑好鞋带你就可以跑了"Sefolosha笑着说
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发售Air Max 90s 有三十年了，已经被镶嵌在球鞋文化里。它展现了轻量舒适，但松饼样式的外底并不是为了硬木板设计的。
Sefolosha insists he hasn’t run into any issues (knock on wood).
Sefolosha 强调他并未因此在场上遇到任何问题
He is the only active NBA player sporting that particular model,ccording to NBA Shoes DB.
他是现役球员中唯一穿着此款式的，从NBA shoe DB网站中可以看到。
*这个网站纪录各鞋款与穿着球员
“I just play in what’s comfortable, to be honest,” Sefolosha said. “That was the main thing for me, just being comfortable.
"我只是挑穿起来舒服的鞋，毕竟对我来说最重要就是舒适。"
“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.”
"他有足够的摩擦力应付我在场上的横移与冲刺，所以我只需要挑选样式和配色就好了。"
His teammates applaud him for being loyal to the vintage mid-cut shoes, but won't be following the trend anytime soon.
他的队友赞赏他对这复古鞋的忠诚，但从不敢跟随潮流。
“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认为这鞋是仅限于修饰人，但Sefolosha觉得拿来打球很舒服，完全无法理解他如何做到。
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认为自己穿上之后可能一走就会扭到，而大家也一直开他玩笑，但因为他的level比一直我们高了太多，我们完全影响不了他。
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特有的穿鞋选择是在他的人生转捩点之后
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.
当2015年8月，Sefolosha效力于老鹰时他在Manhattan夜店外与纽约警方冲突时伤了膝盖与脚踝。
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.
六个月后他向纽约警局索赔
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.
伤势使他错过很多比赛
During the rehabilitation process Sefolosha discovered the Air Maxes.
复健期间他发现的这个系列
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.”
它完全是为了我的脚而生，实在太舒适。其他球员都穿一些制式的东西。
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.
从小到大他穿过很多鞋
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在历经三队之后他与盐湖城签了两年合约
Typically, on game days he decides which colors to play in depending on the jerseys.
通常他会在比赛日的时候依据球衣颜色搭配
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.
他常用订制服务，他也喜欢犹他队色调的森林绿底金勾或是白底海军蓝两种。
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.
这不像一个12年老将会做的事。他的场上时尚就像Rasheed的AF1一样是个传奇
*他没有市售球员版，还不是传奇
“At this point, honestly I don’t think so. I don’t know,” Sefolosha said. “It’ll be tough to switch.”
我其实也不知道，但是我很不舍得换别款鞋
Contrary to popular belief, that wasn’t done by design.
不同于我们所猜，那是未经特制过的
“I like it,” he said. “I didn’t do it for that reason, I did it for comfort
我喜欢它，不想特制是因为我认为他原本就够舒服，我认为这样是很酷的，而且希望大家也
