If you go to Academy and look around you can find something quite usable for that price.

If you spend more than that you are just getting a trend or a brand.

My mom bought me a pair of Air Jordans when I was 15 (Series I). She bought them a size large so I could grow into them because they were 40 bucks. The sole finally wore through when I was about 25 and I had to throw them away.

i dont believe that statement about getting a trend or a brand.

i used to never spend more then like $30-40 on shoes i used to buy from ross. i used to say the same to others who spent so much on shoes but after my knees, shins, and ankles started giving me problems and the more i played bball the more i thought about investing in a good pair of "basketball" shoes. i wasnt spending $100+ on a trend or a brand, i was spending $100+ on my legs because the wear and tear from wearing shitty shoes was taking its toll on my legs. ever since i bought my first bball shoes (vc's) i have had no more problems with my legs. i swear by zoomair, shox, or both together and would never ever spend $30-40 on another pair of shoes unless they help my legs just as much but sadly most of those cheap shoes have no arch support etc...

i can find great deals in the $50-60 market when older items are marked down but as far as new shoes go i will probably be spending around $100+ which in the long run isn't so bad cause i keep my shoes for a long time and at the same time i am slowing the process of wearing my legs out.

Hi-tops are absolutely HORRIBLE. Every time, every single time I have ever twisted or sprained my ankle, I have been wearing Hi-tops. I wear lows now, and have never had an ankle injury wearing them.

Hi-tops may provide stability, but they give no natural lateral flex to your ankle. They don't permit the lower part of an ankle to move in it's natural direction. Perhaps my ankle isn't the same as those of many others but I will never wear his again. Just too many sprains (4) to think about it.

agree
Yes, not to mention the $25 inserts(from finish line) you can use to protect your feet. Good shoes in that price range can be stylish but comfort and protection......especially ankle stability.........can't be found for 40 bucks.

MI21
07-27-2007, 09:25 PM
Yeah, Hi-Tops providing extremly good ankle support and low's providing none is somewhat of a myth... www.kicksology.net (shut down now I think) did a study on it and they found that there isn't much difference between a good pair of lows and high's..

Anyway, I play in Low's because Hi's are to clunky on my feet especially if you have a pretty big foot (I'm Sz13) and also because I just find them a lot more comfy.

Some big shoes to fill after iconic Air Jordans
MARCIA C. SMITH
Register columnist

CERRITOS Nearly two dozen pairs of Crazy 1 high-top adidas basketball sneakers sit untouched inside their black boxes near FootAction USA's entrance at Los Cerritos Center.

Storefront tables carry a scrapheap for unsold, heavily discounted shoes: the super-sized pairs for flipper-footed giants; the garish kicks splashed with magenta and electric green, too wildly designed and too lacking in style or comfort; and the large assortment of pro-athlete-linked signature sneakers such as the Crazy 1s going at the cut-rate price of $29.99.

The story of the Crazy 1 is a crazy one, even a cautionary tale for the shoemakers who have been unable to recreate the nearly two-decade-old signature-sneaker sensation of the Air Jordan.

Though the signature sneaker remains a sports-marketing rite of passage, particularly for NBA stars, shoe companies are being forced to realize that consumer interest in these high-priced, high-concept, high-profile sneakers continues to wane.

Sales of high-end men's basketball shoes have dropped each of the past five years, according to the NPD Group, a New York market-research firm.

Experts in the $15 billion U.S. sneaker industry pegged high prices, over-gimmicky styles, average performance, the crowded court of marquee footwear and the popular emergence of the "brown shoe," or casual athletic sneaker, as factors.

You might remember the Crazy 1, nee the Kobe 1, which made its way into stores in 2001 with a price tag of $125. It's as soft and cushy as a cinderblock, as attractive as a dorm-room refrigerator and as flexible and forgiving as its original namesake.

Few people — relative to the stampede that demanded to "Be Like Mike" in the late '80s and early '90s — bought the Kobe 1 when it made its debut. Some UCLA basketball players, taking advantage of the school's exclusive adidas deal, wore it. Once.

"It was a brick," said one former Bruin, who wished to remain nameless for fear of seeming ungrateful. "It hurt."

The leftover Kobe 1s return as a retro model, bargain priced at $29.99 and repackaged as "Crazy 1," a title similar to Bryant's last 2003 adidas edition, Crazy 8.

Bryant cut shoelaces with adidas in 2003 and split for the high-end, basketball-shoe-market-dominant Nike stable, for whom he since has sported the better-selling Nike Air Zoom Kobe 1 and the Nike Huarache 2K5 Kobe basketball styles.

Meanwhile, Crazy 1s wait around as slow-moving stock.

On tours through sports-apparel stores from Los Cerritos Center to Westminster Mall to The Block at Orange, sale racks offer discounted Crazy 1s, as well as Nike Huaraches embroidered with Bryant's former No. 8. (He switched to No. 24 last season.)

Also spotted in the red-lined-priced rows were discontinued Nike models for Cleveland star LeBron James and Denver Nugget Carmelo Anthony, adidas editions for Houston's Tracy McGrady and Minnesota's Kevin Garnett, and the black Converse for Miami's Dwyane Wade.

Superstar signature shoes used to be more of a gold mine for manufacturers, thanks in large part to their high markup. High prices help companies such as Nike chip away at its five-year, $45 million endorsement deal with Bryant and its seven-year, $90 million tie to James, among others.

Profits, however, come only when the shoes sell. Sneaker aficionados might have been willing to shell out $250 for a pair such as the ones San Antonio Spur Tim Duncan wore at the 2006 All-Star Game; adidas, using technology from its running shoes, planted a computer chip into the pair's midsoles.

But would you pay $250, especially if you're not a baller or Duncan's greatest fan? Would you part with $125 for a McGrady pair with a piece of the hardwood embedded in the sole? Or $90 for the white Nike Zoom LeBron Low STs trimmed in white patent leather with a silver logo plate at your heel?

How about $130 for the red and white adidas T-Mac 6 with the five-pod formation running along your instep or the white, purple and maize Nike Zoom Kobe II?

Probably not.

It's hard to get your money's worth for these sneakers. Athletic-shoe satisfaction plummeted to 76 percent in 2006, the lowest figure posted since the American Consumer Satisfaction Index began tracking sole pleasure in 1995.

Market giant Nike, which also includes the Converse division, dropped from a 78 percent peak in 1995 to a low of 72 percent in 2006. Its top competition, Reebok, which merged with Germany's adidas-Salomon in 2005, sank from 80 percent in 1995 to 75 percent in 2005.

Still, Nike goes after the NBA's top stars, having inked the 2007 NBA draft's top selection, Greg Oden, last month to a multiyear deal for undisclosed millions. It heavily markets its basketball stable in "The Second Coming" ads showing 10 NBA stars, with Bryant and James most prominent.

Adidas, which boasts soccer star David Beckham and last week signed NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. up for a full footwear and apparel line, began a "We Believe in 5" basketball platform last year featuring 24 NBA stars centered on Duncan, McGrady and Garnett and including Laker Jordan Farmar and Clipper Corey Maggette.

These players have the money to spend on signature shoes, which they get for free anyway. Everyone else can wait to get their kicks on sale.

Or simply buy the best-selling basketball shoe of all time: the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star, an American icon priced at $24.99.

The real question after reading your post should be : How much time do you spend on the court each week , and how serious are you about your game? I played D2 ball in the early 90's , and tried to play in the CBA/USBL/Overseas/ whereever I could beg for a roster spot and a paycheck. I didn't make it , but I still play at least 3 days a week(min 3hours at a time)...so spending the extra coin to get comfortable shoes for me is perhaps justified(I also have no children). If you play once a month or less , have less disposable income(due to feeding children) then perhaps the lastest technology isn't necessary...either way Eastbay sells off alot of their older stock for cheap and good deals can usually be found there.

I recently wore out the velcro straps and soles on my all-black lebron 20.5.5's and now I rotate between:

Nike Air Uptempo Pro--which I got after seeing them on the feet of Manu and TP (but mostly cuz of Manu) and now I only see them on Fabricio Oh-Boy-Oberto. Use them both indoor and outdoor but more for indoor play:
http://www.hoopsvibe.com/IMG/nike_air_uptempo_pro-arton32607-210x124.jpg

All-Black (even the nike swoosh) Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2k5, mainly for outdoors:
http://www.uptempoair.com/ProductImages/312217-002.GIF
This is one of the 2k5's that are most closely made for kobe. It has kobe's logo on the back along with "kobe" written on the top of the tongue, which I white out regularly...=)

Awesome grey/white Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2k4--my most favorite shoe ever. Used almost primarily for indoors. Mine look like it is a much lighter gray than the one pictured:
http://www.pickyourshoes.com/images/shoes/2k4_stlth_wht_5.jpg

But I firmly believe that there is no need to ever spend more than 75 bucks on a good, quality pair of b-ball shoes. I bought all three of the above marked down for no more than $70 bucks for each of them. And I think the huarache's especially are still the best shoes in recent memory...and for the price I got them at, probably the best bang for buck ever. The Lebron line is pretty good but a bit on the heavy side and on the expensive side.

I have sort of shied away from Adidas ever since the T-Mac (4?) disaster (the one with no laces and that "lock-in" lever crap. I used to be all adidas but I've faced the fact that Nike is better at balling shoes at least...

One of my favorite shoes from the past were these Fila Grant Hill's (sorry, couldn't find a bigger pic):

Apparently I am not the only one who feels this way about Jordan XIV's...this is what sole collector has to say about em...jordan XIV (http://www.solecollector.com/ko/reviews/jordan/jordan14.html)


2nd your vote for these.... simply the best shoes for comfort, feel and response....bought two pairs of the same shoe i liked them so much. Dont get knockoffs as the quality is half that of the authentic J's.

I've worn a ton of shoes, from the KG1s to Nike Air Max/Shox to running shoes, and from what I've found, it really makes less of a difference what the shoe was made for and more how it fits your foot. I'll take a light, well balanced running shoe over a "high stability" shoe with an athlete's face plastered across it any day of the week.

Just look at the technology. You pay for the face/name associated with the shoe before you ever touch the cost of making it. By far the worst shoes I've ever worn have been poorly made (but expensive!) B-ball shoes.

the worst shoes i have ever worn were flat sole shoes... skateboard shoes, regular tennis shoes, etc... zoom air & shox or one of the two is what i look for now. i don't care who's signature shoe i buy as long as it has either one of those prereqs.

What's the difference between Zoom Air and regular air (a serious question)?

What's good about a Shox shoe (also serious)?

zoom air is actually a gel type pad that is in either the front of the shoe, the back, or both. then there's shox too that add i suppose more cushion?

anyhow the combo of both is what i seek but if i cant find both together i go for one or the other. i prefer zoom air if i have to go with one tech over the other.

for me it was after my first purchase of some expensive vc's that have me on the zoomair/shox wagon. my legs havent ached since buying those vc's so i am sticking by nike for now.
