Pro-Keds

PRO-Keds was introduced to the world by George Mikan, basketballs original Big Man. Mikans formidable style of play challenged the fundamental concepts of the game - so much so that the rules were changed because of him. And his challenger spirit brought results: PRO-Keds took Mikan and the Minneapolis Lakers to five NBA championships in the 40s and 50s. The team is remembered as much for its humility and integrity as for its dominant victories.
