The year is 1990, and Ewing mania is in full effect in New York. After wearing the "Rebound" throughout 1989, it was time for Pat to unveil his newest model, the 33 HI. It's no surprise that

1990 is arguably one of Pat's best seasons, as he averaged 28.6 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 blocks per game! We're not saying it was because of the shoes, but come on, man! I think we're on to something.

The 33 HI has become the flagship shoe of our company and is regarded as one of the greatest signature shoes of all time. For its re-release, we wanted to do something special: a 1:1 reimagining of the original 33 HI OG Patrick wore and how it would look after sitting in a box for over 34 years.

The 33 HI vintage features an all-white cracked leather upper to mimic what happens to leather over time. The midsoles have an off-white hue to show how the white midsole ages and yellows. The original white and orange sockliner has returned, and for the first time since the '90s, we are also bringing back the original 33 HI box with the original wrapping paper. The blue Pantone hits featured throughout the shoe are also true to the original blue the brand used, and the back of the tongue even features the original Ewing size tag. We were meticulous with this reimagining and used one of Pat's game-worn pairs as a reference to make sure we got every detail right. And the rest is history. The Ewing 33 HI vintage is now available on ewingathletics.com.
