Duncan's New adidas For '08-'09

[SpurAddict561]

I have had a few pairs of Adidas and they all have the same end result on the court

a rolled ankle

the ankle support blows, Tim must have ankles of steel

For those that follow shoes:

Duncan switched it up last night, these are the TS Bounce Commander's. So far I only see them for sale in black, but he had them on last night in the white.

After some time I think these are the only ones I'd consider wearing. However the clear plastic stuff on the back in flimsy, I've seen them at stores at the mall. Guy at Finish Line said several get brought back because of that plastic stuff pulling off or something.

Adidas is my brand, Timmy is my boy, but his shoes are one step away from being laughable. Only been two pairs I liked from him.

We have the same needs too, ankle and heel support.. just too bad it looks like they designed them in paint.

I've tried on both of Tim's pairs this season and the regular Commanders (first ones) are MUCH better basketball shoes than the new ones he's wearing. At least better for the average Joe. The new ones absorb landing impact really well but don't have a lot of ankle support at all. That lack of ankle support is negated by the billion miles of ankle tape Tim puts on before every game, but I personally prefer the first shoes he was wearing that had the ankle strap.

For anyone following along, the adidas All-Stars.

Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and Dwight Howard will all wear custom adidas Team Signature Bounce Commanders in their respective conference colors. Tracy McGrady, Chauncey Billups and Derrick Rose will all wear the Team Signature Lightning Creators in their respective colors as well.

The West players will wear a desert red and gold sneaker, while the East’s finest will rock a silver and sunset blue colorway.

I love the silver and black pair. Are these going to be available to the public?

It looks like it.

No player exclusives with this stuff either, meaning all of it will be available in stores. The kicks are selling at $110 with the jacket going for $125 and the hoodie for $90.
