    How sad would it be if it cushioned Yao's foot from breaking,but it cause him to break his ankle Instead?
    :(

    you all think its ugly because you probably see yourselves wearing it in a public place and not a 7'6" basketball player wearing it on hardwood... I think they fit his style, those tree truck legs of his will look fine with those

    Personally, I think they look awesome, but I doubt the NBA version will have the Chinese Dragon

    I don't see why not if Danilo Gallinari can have a rooster on his pair (and I like those shoes too btw, but I'd never wear them myself)

    the back part looks pretty sweet but the dragon is too shiny, maybe it will distract opponents haha

    I don't think they look that bad. Not that I'd wear them, but you guys know that traditional Asian clothing/attire has patterns like this all the time right? I'm Viet, and we wore the traditional Vietnamese wedding attire which has patterns all over it. So in a way some of you are insulting our cultures.

    It's like when someone eats something you might not like, but you say, "EW, that's disgusting" as someone is putting it in their mouth...nice manners by the way.

    Save it. There are fools who would say anything is ugly when it comes to Chinese or even Asian stuffs. They are too dumb to know Asian have a different taste and these products are intended for the Asian market. Well, at least these fools surprised me by having been able to spell 'hideous' correctly.

    it says something toward the end about that the shoes technology will absorb the pressure wen he lands so it might help prevent injuries
