I made that gif back in 2005

It was much bigger than that and someone resized it but it still has that weird jerkiness. Holy , it's too funny seeing it almost 10 years later.

[Suspect]

More early 00s than 90s but remember the AND1s? Those slip ons used to be ridiculous.





DADA had their little run too:

[baseline bum]

Are those ing mini-spinners?

[Fpoonsie]

Loved the Iverson's. They were always my favorite, numerous years.

My favorite pair ever were these pair of low top, suede blue and yellow J's. I can't remember their exact name -- they weren't a numbered Jordan edition -- and can't find an image of them, but goddamn. They were smooth as .

Surprised no one wears them now. You see people in the old Jordans and the Philly era Barkley 180s all the time. Have a feeling Nike's never re-releasing the Robinson Force pumps again though, lol





Nastiest ever

Oh I had those Robinson Forces!!! Two years after I got them some asshole stole them from my gym locker. cost 180 bucks!

Are we talking about style or when playing ball?

Most beautiful bball shoe is probably Jordan XI Bred, those Jordan VI are also nice.

Shoe I'd love to wear with jeans is Jordan IV and V.

Best basketball shoe I've used was Air Huarache 2k4 and Gary Payton glove. Its ing obbious I haven't played in a while

Most of my friends who are non Laker/Kobe fans btw swears the new Kobe's are a joy to use when playing ball.

I like Durant's new shoes but I'm not paying $100 for those. Actually, I haven't bought a decent basketball shoe in a while.

The Barkley's

I actually have the originals of these that I bought in, I think, 1994. I haven't played Bball in them since around 2005. I decided to try them on just over a month ago and the results weren't good. The Max Air unit in the heel popped and the midsole came unglued from the upper and crumbled. lol. They were pretty awesome shoes back in the day, but I guess I was asking too much of them to still hold up .

The Westbrook's

in honor of the resurrection of one my favorite ballers back in the day




i used to rock these back in middle school, i remember i even had the matching blue and black laces


I remember doing dunk contests on like 6 foot rims trying to go off the backboard, alley oops, between the legs, n in these lmao

[JRHernandez88]

Iverson's "Answer IV".
