The Fila Grant Hill 2 is a basketball sneaker that was originally released in the mid-1990s, specifically in 1995. Designed for NBA star Grant Hill, the shoe is known for its high-top silhouette, sleek design, and innovative features for the time, such as a padded collar for support and cushioning. The sneaker has a prominent Fila branding, which contributed to its popularity both on and off the court.

Throughout the late 1990s, the shoe gained significant traction among basketball players and sneaker enthusiasts, symbolizing the era's style and performance needs. Its combination of comfort, aesthetics, and association with Grant Hill helped solidify its place in sneaker history, making it a sought-after item in retro sneaker culture today. The shoe remains iconic in the realm of basketball footwear and has seen various retro releases over the years.
