    Ok, some time ago I asked for your input on what shoes I should buy. My two previous shoes have been Nike's but I was eager to might try something new.

    I decided to go with Reebok Men's Answer III DMX (Iversons previous Reeboks I think) that had a good offer. But I also decided that I will buy 2 pars and I'm trying to chose from:

    Reebok Mens Blacktop 55th Mid which is Stevies shoes (also previous ones I belive)
    http://www.footlocker.com/catalog/productDetail.cfm?TID=5555-47180111462147110253076-0&SKU=2100368&model_nbr=22967&supercat=other&id=0&mvp=

    and

    Nike Men's Air Uptempo Max
    http://www.footlocker.com/catalog/productdetail.cfm?TID=5555-47180111462147110253076-0&supercat=other&sku=39360101&model_nbr=3087

    We are a couple of friends that orders together so I will have to decide quick. Any thoughts? Should I go with the Reebok just because of Stevie? And didn't he jsut say he didn't like his shoes and are changing to Nike?

    I have heard that Stevie's new shoe (Reebok Wink DMX) is EXTREMELY uncomfortable from kicksology.com They said that Stevie's version that he wears in the game must be altered somehow because playing in those kicks has got to be painful.

    But it was nothing wrong with the old ones? And how bad can they be? Stevie for sure plays good with both pairs [​IMG]

    $39.95?Nice lookin' shoes for those prices, I recommend getting both pairs.The two pair of shoes I own are atleast 6 mos. to a year old and I spent close to $300 dollars for them combined.Live a little,splurge, or treat yourself and get them both.

    Yeah I've found a few good offers and nice price-cuts on the shoes, but I'm doing just what you said buying two pairs - but I've already decided on Reebok Men's Answer III DMX as the first pair. (also $39.95 [​IMG] - down from over $100) But I have no need for three pairs - and I have other things to use my hard earn money on [​IMG] - I'm no rich man [​IMG] I'm also ordering some clothes too.

    I have a pair of Wink DMX's.

    The look of the Wink DMX's are way better than the 55th Mid's.

    Steve's shoes are affordable too at $89.99 compared to the Shox and Kobe's..etc.. that will run you up to $120's a pair.

    The Steve Francis shoes are dispicably uncomfortable. I sell them, and people hated them. Trust me, they suck.

    Thanks a lot - all of you. And a special thanks to Rockets R' Us for kicksology.com - we have decided to give this decision more time and read what they say there. I might now only go for one pair.... they had very good things to say about Duncans shoes.
