The original Dream Team in 1992 didn't just mark the first appearance of American NBA stars in the Olympics — it was when the Team USA shoe game really jumped off. And not just on the performance side, either — Michael Jordan wore USA Triaxes off the court, and lots of guys sported Team USA Air Force 1s. But it was the on-court shoes that really shone in the red, white and blue (and gold). Check the gallery for Team USA's Best Sneakers.
