Everybody knows about Ricky Rubio’s soap opera of the summer. One of the stars of this snarl is Jordi Villacampa, president of Joventut de Badalona, former team of Ricky. Villacampa was a great player in ‘80s and ‘90s in the same team, and a swingman that scores 27 against USA Team in Toronto 94’ World Championship.
In Spain, the latest years of ’80s was a sneaker fever with Converse Weapon and Air Jordans. A Spanish brand, Kelme, thought that could be a great idea give to Villacampa a signature shoe. The famous Kelme Villacampa was born. The classic green and black of Joventut team was the colorway of the very first signature shoe of Villacampa and any other Spanish basketball player.

During years, the Kelme Villacampa was a myth for the Spanish sneaker heads. Two years ago, the idea of release a retro edition starts to come true. Now the retro Kelme Villacampa arrives to stores, more than 20 years from the first release.
Fernando Martín, Pau Gasol, Rudy Fernandez, Ricky Rubio…nobody had or has a signature sneaker, but Jordi Villacampa had it, and now the shoe has his tribute.

Pd: I have my originals Kelme Villacampa thanks to Urban, that obtain me a brand new in box three years ago.

People should do some research on Villacampa if they dont know about him. This is a nice story. The sneakers obviously took a lot of visual cues from Nike, but its cool nonetheless. Where can you cop these?
