personally, I'd rather sport the Zions, they look alright. But I don't wear high tops because it's not 1994 and I'm not 14.

The “klaw” logo is a rip-off of an old Memphis Grizzlies logo.

Once again, his creativity failed him. Time to go back to the lab with his crayons and paper.

Anything over $70 bucks for athletic shoes is IMO stupid unless you a high end athlete, as is buying basketball shoes when you do not play. I officiate HS games and fine shoes for that about $80 that last two seasons.t

[Mitch]

Looks like it was made by an autist, yeah

[R. DeMurre]

The whole basketball shoe game is a scam. Years ago when Rik Smits was having constant foot trouble, the Pacers sent him to specialists to see what they could do to ease his foot pain. After experimenting with various sneakers, insoles, and orthopedic inserts, they finally decided that the best answer was to wear really thick socks. $8 answer for a million dollar problem.

Clearly Ibaka didn’t like them

KL got Maloned, right up there with the Admiral imo.

Should have a Serta logo.

Nah David got hit in the mouth.

And twisted his knee in the fall and never recovered from it

He won two rings afterward. I'd say he recovered ok.

What were the extent of D-Rob's injuries from it? Did he actually damage his knee as well?

It was a long time ago so I forgot the specifics of it but he lost a lot of his athleticism after that injury. He fell really awkward since he was out cold and it never healed correctly and robbed him of a lot of movement and mobility. He was still athletic of course since he’s David effing Robinson but you could definitely see the difference

Try running more than a few miles a week in $70 shoes and see how it works out.

Agreed. I remember once doing an experiment 10 years ago where I bought 4-5 pairs of super cheap sneakers to play basketball in which cost only 20 bucks. All those pairs were torn up within 2-3 months. Whereas whenever I would buy a Nike pair it would last for at least a year.

And Pedo somehow was fouled by the admiral.

[FrostKing]

I own New Balance but not for actual athletic competition. Recently purchased Asics Trail Runners in wide shoe.

[ambchang]

New balances are quality shoes for everyday use.

Sauconys and ASICS are also great shoes. Nike’s are great in marketing and the designs were good looking for a while. The actual quality though isn’t that great unless you go to the ultra high end ones which are just too pricey. I mean, they are pricey for everyday people but it’s chump change for big spenders on ST who pull in $250k in their early twenties.

Not if you're regularly playing ball at the gym, tbh.

You forgot to also mention the many millionaires we have in here.

99.9% are millionares here, lbvs.

Agree. Nikes last 6 months if you are lucky. High priced shoes that belong at the dollar store, tbh.

Recently got a pair of Under Armour which seem to be ok.
