Here is Yao Ming in his special-designed Reebok shoes, practicing prior to the Timberwolves game. Hope he can get the greenlight from the doctors today for returning to court for the match-up with Shaquille O'Neal of Miami Heat on Chinese New Year Day (January 29).
the next generation basketball shoe.....a steel toe without the steel but with some lighter than air polymer with enough strength to withstand a one ton mass.
It looks he lost the mass in his legs. They're still huge but not like before. Maybe he'll be more agile.
thanks pryuen. you always come through with the scoop. We are gonna need Yao on sunday so hopefully everything works out with those new shoes.
Looks like a fan standing behind Yao is getting impatient to wait for his turn to get Yao's autograph.
I think they should have made both shoes look as similar as possible. Putting that big red toe section on the reinforced shoe is like painting a bullseye on his foot.
Just incase you haven't realized it by now Yao Ming has class. Such a reaction that you suggest is that of a street person.
Someone needs to go to the skycourt and see how big Yao's hands are. Looking at the pics, they look rather large to me.
i saw him in his beemer driving down I-10 on wednesday around 9:20AM near the beltway. i have no pictures. but he did ask me if i wanted a ride ride.
Thanks, pryuen. Nice pics and good info. I also want to see yao vs. shaq on Spring Festival. On the other hand, I don't want him to take the risk to rush back too soon.
