Story & heritage
FILA’s 1990s US footwear growth was powered by high-profile basketball sponsorships, including Grant Hill. The Grant Hill 2 — often tied to the 1996 era — is the signature model most people picture first, with its sweeping branded side panel and rounded midsole.
A later 96 Reissue was described as honouring Hill’s basketball career, confirming the shoe’s place as a core FILA basketball reference rather than a generic retro.
Materials & craft
Coverage of the reissue described a white-based leather upper with blue and red accents on branded overlay panels and the tongue. Retail listings for the family also cite leather and synthetic leather construction.
How to choose & style
Keep the rest simple: loose denim, warm-up pants or nylon shorts let the large side panel read cleanly. The white/navy/red pair is the archive choice; black and red pairs turn the same shape into a louder basketball sneaker.
