In the 1980s Pony became a popular brand when the 5''7 Spud Webb won the NBA Slam Dunk competition, and the Pony City Wings he was wearing during that moment have now been modernized. These shoes have been reinvented to fit modern-day style, but they still hold true to the brand values it had then.
The City Wings have now become stunning high tops. They are sporting a classic white sole and it also has a high-crafted upper. There are three color selections, giving you the opportunity to choose which one would best fit your personality. Not only is this the first time the Pony City Wings have been rereleased since that epic moment in basketball, but the history of these shoes prove that even the underdog can come out on top.
