What shoes do you use to play ball, tbh?..

What are you some of your current contemporary favorites?..

What are some retros that you still use or plan to scoop once they become available?..

[rogues]

Also, I'm new to online purchasing of kicks..I stumbled upon a list of legit online selling sites, still kinda hesitant about what to believe..what are some that yall use, and what are some scams yall've come across IRL, tbh..

I have a few but this is what I use

[hooperflash]

I use my Flash inspired Nike Hyperdunks (2014).

CP VI.

Insane traction and really good stability.

Did you do a lace swap?

They come with black and red laces, I liked the reds better.

I'm usually not flashy with sneakers, but the last one I bought was the Kobe Elite IX.

facebook, kixify(might find gems but a lot of scammers), ebay, etc are good places to find shoes after retail

I hoop in kobe 9s, personally.

I have a decent collection of sneakers(I know, typical of a black guy), but I don't really collect jordans.

It's a known fact that you snitched... might as well admit it, tbh.

CN is the kind of man who worries and gossips about what other men wear. Not su ious at all.

I've heard amazing things about the crazy lights.

I've been using these bad boys for the last few months and they're the most comfortable and responsive shoes that I've ever played in.



As for retros, the Jordan XI is a solid ball shoe as long as you lace it up all the way. Really cushy and good lockdown. The older retros are really uncomfortable imo, but I see guys play in them all the time.

I really want those Laney High Jordan 5s, but I've had to stop buying sneakers unless I need them for something. Student loan budget...

I've found the older retros to be the most comfortable shoes around... of course, I'd also never actually hoop in them.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess, but I was mainly talking about comfort for basketball purposes.

For everyday wear I think the flyknit airmax is the most comfortable shoe I own:

Bought the Retros last week. Love the ankle padding

Any of yall cop the newest Kryie's? How are those, tbh?..
