The Shoe Thread

Fri Dec 22, 2006 8:41 pm

This is thread is made for our discussions about the shoes of the NBA players.Sorry if there is already a similar thread to this.

let me start with a question. why is jason williams wearing dwades converse shoes?? im really curious about this..

Fri Dec 22, 2006 8:42 pm

The most concerning thing about this thread is that people will care.

Anyways he's wearing them because he's poor and Wade gives them to him in exchange for sexual favours.

hehehe nice idea man

Probably for the same reason why Webber always used to wear AI's answers. They probably think it strengthens the team spirit or something like that. If not then I'll go with Jae's idea.

Who do u guys think has the best looking shoe in the NBA??

Devin Green and Ronny Turiaf used (or still do?) to get Kobe's old shoes, Lakers colors and #8/24 on them. Pat Burke is currently wearing old Amare PE's. :D

I like Wade's shoes, so I bought them. I dont know which ones are the best though, I dont spend all day fornicating over shoes, or the sleeve Lebron is wearing.

These are the basketball shoes I have, they feel really nice. They also remind me of Kobe's.

who has the worst shoes in the game in your opinion??

Mon Dec 25, 2006 3:30 am

I use these suckers, can't beat em. The originals are the best ones.

Image They still look that nice too.

I also have some Tmac 5's but they have absolutely no traction.

I like the Jordans that Ray Allen wears, he's always had a pretty good sense of style in that respect.

The top ones are ugly. I like Ray Allen's shoe though.

Heres what I wear:

I would give them a 3/5. They are very light, but to me they just aren't comfortable. I decided to go with lows this time round but I think I would rather have the ankle support of a high.

I used to wear these:

... And absolutely loved them. By far the best shoe I have ever worn and my favorite. Loved everything about them, they were extremely comfortable, pretty light, looked nice and just felt very good to play in. I wish I could have them all over again, do they still get sold?

well, I wear these on court... the Nike Air Payton IVs. It's so comfortable especially with the carbon spring fiber in it so the balls of your feet never hit anything hard. It feels so good, there's no other way to describe it than that it fits like a glove. I wish I had the white/chrome version though.. i hate black shoes.

does anybody know the name of the shoes Chris Paul wears? I've seen him with two different ones. I think away he wears some black Nikes with yellow trim and at home a white shoe with indigo trim.

Mon Dec 25, 2006 6:42 am

These are CP3's the Jordan 9.5 Image

Mon Dec 25, 2006 6:46 am

Chris Paul has been wearing the Jordan 9.5's. Right now he wears the Jordan 5's but the black shoes with yellow trim you described are the 9.5's.

Ray Allen wears the Jordan XXI PE's, not those team Jordans that were posted. They look alike though.

Both of them have been wearing the Jordan V's now since they have been retro'ing. I was wondering when the NBA players with Jordan Brand were going to start wearing the V's on the court. I think the V's are too uncomfortable to hoop in though, but I guess they use some type of special padding for the NBA players.
