The season almost didn't happen, the dynasty almost didn't start and nobody saw the 8-seed coming.⁣ ⁣ 1999 gave us one of the strangest, best chapters in NBA history. A post-lockout sprint, a Cinderella Knicks run, and the first banner in San Antonio history.⁣ ⁣ Funny how the weirdest years make the best stories. Pay homage.

“Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth.” On July 4th, 1939, Lou Gehrig stood at home plate in Yankee Stadium and delivered a speech that history will never forget, about gratitude, strength, and what he had to live for: an awful lot. Pay homage to the Iron Horse today, Lou Gehrig Day, and support the Live Like Lou Foundation, with this collection.⁣ ⁣ The LLL Foundation raises awareness for, and supports people living with, ALS, funds early-career scientists studying ALS, and honors Lou’s legacy with a vision to leave ALS better than we found it.⁣ ⁣ A portion of the net proceeds from the sales of our Live Like Lou assortment will benefit the LLL Foundation.

In 1995, America’s best players had no league at home. So the NBA and USA Basketball put the best team in the country on the road to prove one could exist. A full year, 100,000+ miles, and not a single loss, capped by gold in Atlanta. The answer came back loud: YES! Loud enough that the league became real. We Got Next. First signatures from Swoopes, Lobo, and Leslie. First tip June 21, 1997, Liberty vs. Sparks, live on NBC. Then the moments that moved the ceiling: Leslie’s dunk, a generation of legends, and a Houston Comets dynasty that set the blueprint. The proof was there early: in 1995, Sheryl Swoopes became the first woman in sports history with her own signature sneaker, a full year before the league even existed. The market believed before the W tipped off. 30 years later, that bet pays off: merch sales up 600%, one of the fastest-growing properties in sports. Pay homage.

10 years ago today, we lost Harambe. Some say that's when the timeline switched. Drake's 'One Dance' is on every speaker, Clay hit 11 3's to send the WCF to a game 7, Captain America is topping the box office, and you're rewatching it all on Vine. Truly a different time.

GIVEAWAY TIME. 🏀🔥 Details for entering below. While cleaning up the office, we uncovered something special… A few autographed NBA Jam “Dunk & Funk” tees signed by legendary game creator Mark Turmell. For anyone who grew up in arcades during the 1990s, NBA Jam wasn’t just a video game. It was a cultural phenomenon. Released by Midway in 1993, NBA Jam completely changed sports gaming with its over-the-top 2-on-2 gameplay, giant dunks, hidden codes, digitized graphics, and unforgettable commentary.  The game became one of the biggest arcade hits of all time and helped define an entire era of sports, gaming, and pop culture. At the center of it all was Turmell, the lead designer and programmer behind NBA Jam, NBA Hangtime, and later NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC. The shirt itself is a tribute to one of the greatest parts of NBA Jam lore: the secret characters. Hardcore fans remember that Turmell himself was secretly playable in the game by entering his initials “MJT” and birthday “3/22.” But the rabbit hole went even deeper than that. In NBA Jam Tournament Edition, legendary funk pioneer George Clinton was also hidden inside the game as an unlockable character. The developers were huge fans of Clinton’s music, which directly inspired the game’s iconic fast-paced funk soundtrack and energy. We originally printed these tees for our NBA All-Star pop-up in Los Angeles back in 2018. The crazy part? These shirts were never sold to the public. Only 4 exist for this giveaway: • 1 Small • 1 XL • 2 XXL Crazy to think it’s already been 8 years. Entering to win is easy: Follow @HOMAGEVAULT and comment: DUNK Now, for the fun stuff: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Open to U.S. residents only. Giveaway ends Friday, May 29. Winners will be selected at random and contacted via DM from @HOMAGEVAULT. This giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram.

In 1994, adidas handed Team USA two jerseys that couldn't have been more different. The denim away kit (designed by Peter Moore, the man behind the Air Jordan 1) was mocked at first, then became the most beloved shirt in US Soccer history. The red-and-white striped home kit was iconic in its own right, still influencing USMNT design 30+ years later. Pay homage.⁣ ⁣ Swipe through the kits that defined a generation.

Finally found one of my holy grails! The full size 1980s Manute Bol Nike poster. At 7 foot 7, Manute looked almost unreal. Endless reach. Shot blocking machine. (He led the league in blocks twice!) One of the most unforgettable presences the game has ever seen. The poster itself is even more incredible in person. Early in his career with the Washington Bullets, Manute rocked the iconic “Big Nike” model during the mid 1980s. The gigantic Nike logo on the back of the sneaker is amazing. But what always made him bigger than basketball was who he was off the court. He gave enormous amounts of his NBA earnings back to help people in Sudan. Schools, hospitals, refugees, humanitarian efforts. A giant in every sense of the word. “God guided me to America and gave me a good job. But he also gave me a heart so I would look back.” -Manute Bol

Thirty years ago, the Knicks knocked the Cavaliers out of the playoffs for the second straight year, a quiet little dynasty over Cleveland that never translated into the only thing that mattered. The 4-seed Knicks and 5-seed Cavaliers entered the 1996 first round with identical 47-35 records, but the series wasn’t close. New York rolled into Cleveland and stole both road games to open the best-of-five: a 106-83 demolition in Game 1, then an 84-80 grind in Game 2. Back at Madison Square Garden for Game 3, the Knicks closed it out 81-76 to complete a 3-0 sweep. Three years, three series, three Knicks wins. Patrick Ewing’s Knicks had Cleveland’s number and a blueprint that worked on most of the East. But the next round was always the wall. In 1996, that wall was the 72-10 Bulls, who bounced them in five. The Knicks of that era reached one Finals (1994), came painfully close to another (1995, before falling to Indiana), and never lifted the trophy. A team good enough to dominate a rivalry, not good enough to escape Jordan’s shadow. The two teams wouldn’t meet again in the playoffs until 2023, when the Knicks took the first-round series 4-1. Four playoff matchups, but the Cavs have never beaten the Knicks in a postseason series. Tonight, the rematch finally carries Finals stakes. The Garden’s mid-90s reign was an Eastern dynasty that wasn’t. In the words of Hanif Abdurraqib, “There’s Always This Year”.

22 years ago today The Big Unit threw a perfect game at 40 years old. Pay homage to Randy Johnson.

The NBA Western Conference Finals start tonight, but let's look back to 2012.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Twenty straight wins for the Spurs. Two-zero series lead. Then the Thunder remembered who they were.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In the 2012 Western Conference Finals, OKC dropped the first two in San Antonio and looked cooked. Then Thabo Sefolosha got the Tony Parker assignment, KD took over the fourth quarters, and a 23-year-old superstar group went on to win four straight against a team that hadn't lost since April.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Durant. Westbrook. Harden. Ibaka. One of the great "what if they'd stayed together" runs in NBA history starts right here. Pay homage.

“You can be my wingman anytime.” Top Gun released in theaters 40 years ago today. Pay homage.
