About the shoe
The Dream is Hakeem Olajuwon’s first signature shoe with Spalding, released in 1995 after the Houston Rockets’ back-to-back championship seasons. As the first model in the line it had no predecessor; Olajuwon helped design it and said he wore it on court during the NBA Finals. The high-top followed the black-and-white leather look common in the 1990s and carried his number 34 on the side. Sold through discount chains such as Payless, Wal-Mart and Kmart, it retailed for $34.99 as a deliberate alternative to $120 sneakers from Nike and Reebok.
