Whether you’re a basketball fan, sneakerhead or both, you’ve got to appreciate this rare Nike’s Barkley Posite Max Area 72 shoe signed by Charles Barkley himself.

Released in early 2013 for NBA All-Star Weekend, Nike’s Barkley Posite Max Area 72 is a hybrid sneaker celebrating the achievements of Charles Barkley utilizing different Barkley sneaker details.

As the fifth pick in the 1984 NBA Draft, Charles Barkley went on to become one of the most iconic and beloved figures in basketball history. Known for his dominant rebounding, explosive scoring, and larger‑than‑life personality, Barkley became a fan favourite throughout his entire career. Upon retirement, he ranked among the NBA’s all‑time leaders in rebounds, points, and efficiency, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest power forwards ever to play the game. He was also a key member of the legendary 1992 U.S. Men’s Olympic “Dream Team”, which won gold and is widely considered the greatest basketball team ever assembled.

Charles played for the Philadelphia 76ers (1984–1992), the Phoenix Suns (1992–1996), and the Houston Rockets (1996–2000) during his NBA career.

After retiring as a player, Barkley became one of the most recognisable voices in sports media as a long‑time analyst on Inside the NBA, where his humour, honesty, and sharp commentary made him a broadcasting icon.

Charles Barkley was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame twice: first as an individual player in 2006, and again in 2010 as part of the Dream Team. His No. 34 jersey was retired by the Philadelphia 76ers in honour of his impact on the franchise.
