Dime Magazine also recently had an interview with Gilbert recently (I’m pretty sure it was at the same place this interview took place) and they had this interesting tidbit:

The original concept was for Gil to wear a sneaker comparable to the classic adidas Superstars in 82 different colorways, rocking a different color for each game. Gil eventually squashed that idea, preferring to keep it to a more manageable 20.

All I can say is wow.  If you can even think of 82 different color combinations, more props to you.
