The Houdini of the Hardwood', 'Mr. Basketball', 'The Cooz'. Call him what you will, Bob Cousy was undeniably one of the greatest passers and play-makers in NBA History.

Long before the flash of Kobe or the air of Jordan, there was the first basketball hero of a generation. The dazzling prowess of ''the Cooz'' graced the game of basketball which witnessed the tricky, fast, riveting moves of new star Bob Cousy. All of these assets were Cousy's stock and trade. They made him feared, admired and soon emulated by the superstars of the modern game

Cousy had passion and intensity like no other player of his time and went on to play in 13 straight NBA All-Star Games and earned six NBA championship rings. Along with revolutionizing the game of Basketball, Cousy went down in history for another reason.

During this time, a collaboration such as this was unheard of. Cousy was the only player who possessed the skills and flair to deserve his own custom shoes
