Ginobili Getting Signature Shoe?Quote:

But, today I found this. According to Nike.com, there are only four players that wear Ballers (Pierce, Jefferson and Nowitzki) and none of them have the number 20. If you didn't notice, there's a 20 on the tongue in the pic, which happens to be Manu's number.
They are for sale at Eastbay, but there's only one colorway and no information is given concerning Manu. If anyone has any more information leave a comment of send me an e-mail.
The links didn't transfer in the copy and paste. Sorry.
I just noticed that there is another colorway. I'm dumb.

Manu say no sometimes to that question in his Website
One of that is here for Hegamboa

Yeah, I remember reading that. But the shoes have his number and Spurs colors. And he was wearing a special colorway of the same shoe at the All Star Game. If you go to Nike.com it lists this shoe (the black one) as the one he wears. The picture is too small to make out the "20" emblem, though.Quote:

Interesting...
hmmmmm.
Manu's home shoes say "MANU" on the side of the back heal.Quote:

But Paul Pierce has his own custom shoes.
Footlocker used to sell the shoes but I don't know why they don't anymore.
They are part of the Nike 20 Collection, Sungo99.
Last year, they also had the Nike Fleet Center shoe, and another one but I forget the name.
The Air Max Ballers are just this years continuation of the Nike 20 Collection
Well there you go. I know that players with signature shoes have special touches added to the shoes they actually play in (Timmeh has 21 on the back of his while the public version doesn't). However, my bubble is burst by your 20 explanation.Quote:

Dirk wore the same shoes at the all-star game but with switched color pattern.
Where Manu's shoe is red, Dirk's was blue, and vice versa.

I think those road shoes look awefull!
I don't like the roadies either. All black is more to my liking.
Manu looks like Al Capone in those road shoes! :lol
???
Al Capone was fat and had a scar on his face. Do you mean he looks like a gangsta?
No but Mafia bosses in those days liked to wear white gamashes over black shoes (I guess it was the top fashionable thing to do), that's kinda how those Manu road shoes look like.
I love the road ones, IDK why you guys don't.
out of all shoe colors, all black is too plain.
So what else do you know about Ginobili's Signature Shoes :king :pctoss :angelQuote:
