    Do you know that some of these Chinese shoes manufacturers are also producing shoes for Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Converse, New Balance etc.?

    Alot of those international brand shoes manufacturers had been outsourcing their manufacturing to China, Indonesia, Vietnam and other Asian countries for over quarter of a century......

    If the Chinese shoes look cheap and uncomfortable, then the same will be the Nike, Adidas, Reebok, New Balance, Converse that you put on.

    cz he came to the Rockets before Scola, Landry, Brooks, otherwise I doubt he would have got any shoe deal.

    Because he is meant to be Yao's sidekick a couple years ago. He took fouls for Yao, he grabs the missing rebounds. And he was doing a really good job in those regards.

    If you were one of the shoe manufacturers, who would you bet on, Chucks Hayes or Juwan Howard?

    co-sign, I doubt walmart would even sell them homemade looking shoes,cause they look like they come free with a Fill-up at Texaco..

    Buy 15 gallons of gas at your nearest Texaco, and get a pair of "Air Scola Anta's" for free...while supplies last

    Well, you could've try those on first. Have you also put on the Marbury's shoes? those are like 35 bucks or something like that, I actually think It's not bad.

    I've gotten 2 pairs of his for more than a year, still going strong :)

    hell I got some of the Ben Ben's (Ben Wallace Shoes) (9 Bucks a pair) and those are even more comfortable for me :)

    probably because you're a no-defense-playing cherry picker, whereas Hayesfan hustles on the court, so goes through shoes 10x faster than you.

    How about the Argentine Twister?

    Let's have Scola spins and twists and twists and spins and throws up the ball for a layup when he loses balance. Yeah! Scola misses the laypup. :eek:

    I, doublebogey, endorse the above idea for Anta Commercial.

    Great commercial that fits Scola very well! Just hope Scola knows there involves contacts (especially upper body) for doing Tango!

    Nice! I am judging on a kid who's tough on his shoes... so maybe my estimate is a slight exaggeration.

    But my friends two sons bought Marbury shoes last summer to play in outside and the soles were coming off the bottom of the shoe in a little over a week on her older son's (he was 13 at the time) and the younger one's (9) lasted about a month.

    God the Starburys suck. I picked up a pair of the Starbury I's last summer when I went down to Buffalo, and it's so uncomfortable. It rides so high on the ankle that my heel gets scuffed everytime I play in them.

    Pretty gay commercial. I really think tango when I think NBA basketball. :rolleyes:

    Plus, I know how ineffective Scola has been trying to twist and dance to the rim.

    Anyone know how the hell Damon Jones got a shoe deal??? And hellz yeah Landry will get a huge shoe deal this offseason. I guess the Chinese hate Rafer and Head too much to risk giving them any kind of deal, but hey I don't blame them.
