WOO! Ric Flair, one of the most flamboyant wrestlers the world has ever seen, is taking his iconic style from the squared circle to the hardwood. The Rolex-wearing, diamond ring-wearing, kiss-stealing, wheeling-dealing, limousine-riding, jet-flying son of a gun is joining forces with Ewing Athletics for a boisterous remix of Patrick Ewing’s signature silhouette. The enhanced silhouette not only brings the wrestler’s flair to the sneaker, but the Miami-based release will give fans the chance to meet the Nature Boy himself.
Ric Flair x Ewing Athletics 33 Hi Details
The Ewing Athletics 33 HI comes draped in an eye-catching teal tumbled leather upper. That luxurious build gets covered in an assortment of paisley graphics to make it evocative of the array of plush robes Flair would don before his entrance in the ring. In place of the usual Ewing branding, the silhouette goes all in on the Nature Boy, adding his signature in place of Patrick’s on the side panels.
The oversized Ewing branding on the heel also gets swapped out for Ric Flair’s name embroidered on the left and right heels, respectively. Hits of tan pop up on the sockliner, eyelets, as well as the buckle, fastener, and 33 branding on the silhouette’s ankle strap. A shade of mint green accents the mostly white midsole, which helps to ground the colorway. The tan color makes a reappearance on the Nature Boy-branded graphic on the tongue and semi-translucent outsole that wraps up the look.
