Billups to get his first signature shoe

[Pistons < Spurs]

Billups travels to Los Angeles today to film an Adidas commercial with Arenas, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and Tracy McGrady. Billups said he will get his first signature shoe next season.

Good for Billups! Nice to see him get a little love.

I was able to find this pic:

There not the best looking pair I've seen, but I'm sure I'll be getting them. They will supposedly be out in March 07'

Cool! Although, I'm not sure how marketable/popular Billups is with basketball fans outside of Detroit. I wonder if it will sell....

[Burn531]

Yeah they look alright. I'll have to see more of it to buy them for sure.

[Kori Ellis]

They look okay. I'd like to see them from the front.

[Bob Lanier]

M-v-p! M-v-p!

[Phil Hellmuth]

Kmart looking shoe. (the store)

It's too bad Chauncey isn't going to Asia for the World Championships, he then would be able to meet all of the ten year olds who will be making his new shoe :lol :lol :lol

[Bob Lanier]

If he wanted to see poverty, he'll see a lot more of it in the United States than he would at FIBA in Japan.

low, but thou shalt not receive punishment, for thy conceived statement is actually true

[ALVAREZ6]

Why are they waiting til March to release them??? The season is practically over at that time, that's not a smart marketing move.

I think they would look better in a different color. That shoe in Spurs colors would look sweet. Keep the white leather, but make the other two colors black and silver rather than blue and red and it would be a sweet shoe.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Thats cool that he gets his own shoes, its just too that he'll be wearing them as a member of another team once he walks.

Those shoes could look alot worse. Theyre not bad.

[REDLION#22]

^^ lmao how old were you in the 80s?

i was born in 1990,but i have seen many many videos,tv specials and read books about how the nba was in the 1980s.

[ALVAREZ6]

I like those shoes a lot actually...just get rid of the blue and red.



They look comfortable too.

Who cares if he deserves it or not. Adidas came to him. You think he's gonna tell them to fuck off with all that money he's gettin.

[REDLION#22]

IF the same thing happened to...lets say antoine walker you pissed ons fans would be like:"he is totaly undeserving of those,stern hates us,the refs called...oh wait"

[RON ARTEST]

redlion, how the fuck can you miss something you were never apart of? dumbass

[RON ARTEST]

anyway i think those shoes look horrible but like kori said i have to see the fron to make a real judgment.

[KEDA]

being the resident sneakerhead on this forum, the shoes look alright. But they ARE ADIDAS so he will sprain his ankle within 3-5 weeks.

now if it were an Nike, then he would get much props!

I know, I know, it was just a poor attempt at humor.

I EXPLAINED BEFORE I SAID THE COMMENT ABOUT THE 80S CUZ IVE SEEN MANY MANY,VIDEOS,AND TV SPECIALS BOUT THAT TIME.NOTHING MORE

That's because he IS undeserving. What the hell has Fatoine ever really done in his life? He's only riding Wade's coattails.

It's not about deserving dumbass, it's about a marketing campaign designed by the shoe companies to make money for the shoe company and the players. That's the beauty of capitalism, anyone can sell most anything for most any reason. Hell, even your dumbass could have a shoe deal if some dipshit shoe comany was dumb enough to give you one.

thats not my point, my point is you cant miss something unless you have been there.

[RON ARTEST]

that would be the ugliest shoe since kobe with adidas.

Using Walker is a bad example. Since he's no longer an All Star in the league or even marketable to the general public makes your comment ridiculous.
