what was the new shoe of KG

[Bern42]

hi does anyone know what is the new Shoe of Kevin Garnett and does it have pics? coz i cant find one... thanks

[j.23]

it's called the bounce i believe.

[Jackal]

It ought to be called The Ugly.

[j.23]

the uglies are actually out, in the form of reebok basketball shoes. probably the most hideous things i've ever seen. ever.

[Indy]

It ought to be called The Ugly.

You ought to be called the pfffffff.

[Null17]

It would've looked decent if it werent for the heel part with the translucent casing thing.

[Jackal]

You ought to be called the pfffffff.

You ought to be called the oh not so funny.

[dada]

I cant believe they couldnt come up with a better shoe design for KG because this isnt very appealing. The most interesting art is the part you barely see, the bottom.

[Indy]

You ought to be called the pfffffff.

You ought to be called the oh not so funny.

You ought to leave me alone, bully.

[dada]

Dont give in to his green text. It may look mean but somewhere in there is the a kind-hearted Jackal who will fold under a flame war.

[Jackal]

Jackal is dead. Dead I say, dead.

I wish he had never left Nike, look at these:


Too bad Nike doesn't make shoes like these anymore.

[Klayface]

if it weren't for the heel, it would be decent

those were my first pair of proper bball shoes

[theflash02]

AIR PENNIES looked amazing too.. How come NIKE never makes these types of shoes anymore? Instead.. They're making those RETRO ones like the JORDAN ONEs.. BUT i love em for the new LEBRON JAMES.. LOVE the china edition and the aluminum edition.. But the aluminum edition is off the market.. There were only three of them made.. One is a prize for a contest on nike.com.. another i saw being bidded at ebay for like $2,800.00.. I don't know where the other one is.. Probably in the NIKE MUSEUM or HALL of FAME.. But i wonder why people love it.. They can't use those shoes outdoors nor indoors.. Here are some pics:


THE ALL WHITES



THE CHINA EDITION







THE ALUMINUM EDITION



I'm planning to get the China Edition..

THESE ARE THE MOST EMBARASSING SHOES I SAW:



Those are Charles Barkley's hahahaha... I thought he was TOUGH.. Well.. I guess TOUGH GUYS wear PINK.. Hahaha..

You don't know shit about basketball do you?

[Jowe]

Converse.. well cons.

[Tuomas]

Best design for KG IMO actually were the two And 1 shoes. The campaigns were cool too.

[Andreas Dahl]

I for one like KG's new shoe, it reminds me of McGrady's one, which is also quite nice. But looks way too heavy and bulky. Duncan's shoe on the other hand looks and feels amazing..

Maybe because there is no 'Aluminium' shoe. What you're talking about is a cast in a case that fits the mould of the regular shoe. http://i15.tinypic.com/2pyb5tf.jpg

[theflash02]

no bro..try visiting nike.com.. they're giving away the aluminum edition for the first prize in a certain contest..check ebay too..they're selling it..

The KG2 from And1 was good lookin.. I had one of those before in my high school days..They look good with the shiny front toes but it's pretty heavy..

to cklitsie:

i know a whole lot of basketball..

i live, breathe and play basketball..

i am a baller and will forever be a baller..

my love for the game lies in my heart just like the fellow ballers here

so stop hatin..

[Andreas Dahl]

No 'bro'.. Look at the image you posted, notice how several parts 'merge' with the surrounding metal?
And if you look at the picture I linked to in my last post, you will clearly see that it's indented into the casing.
And if you still doubt me, look at this image: http://i10.tinypic.com/2u7vlzp.jpg
And, if you still, still, doubt me, check the eBay auction that you speak off. It clearly says "Embellished Aluminum Mold"

[cklitsie]

so stop hatin..

Stop talking like you know everything about basketball. You're only talking shit.

The TOUGH PLAYER Larry Johnson went by the nickname Grandma because of that Converse ad campaign for the Grandma shoes (Converse AeroJam). The commercials were meant to be funny, people were getting schooled on the court by an old lady..

And if you didn't know, Barkley never sported those pink Air Force 180's, they were a retro colorway, pink because it's a fashionable color nowadays.

[theflash02]

cklistsie:

Nowadays??? That shoe was made when i wasn't even born yet.. Barkley never sported those but he was willing to put his name on the shoe huh?! I know about that Grandmama bullshit u dumbass..I'm just saying that it must be the funniest name for a shoe...What's wrong with that asswipe?!

I ain't talkin like i know everything about basketball..I just say what i know about basketball..If you think i know everything about basketball..Then maybe i do know eveything about basketball..I only say what i know..

And stop hatin please asshole..This is a thread..It ain't about u and me or any other suckass! In this forum..U can talk anything about the NBA!! Didn't u read this NBA Talk section??

Andreas Dahl:
Come to think about it..After taking a look at the pics..It really is just a molding..But why would nike want to bid it?

theflash02, stop being a disrespectful asshole. You made a comment about possibly the most famous Basketball shoe/commercial of all time that every more-than-casual basketball fan with at least a little bit of NBA history stored up in their brain knows about, calling Larry Johnson weak for having the "Grandma" character and the same name for the shoes. It's a marketing gimmick, and I'm pretty sure Larry would beat the fuck out of you.
