They stopped making individual shoes for the players? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I might just switch to Nike...
I always thought T-Mac would make the great next Penny Hardaway type shoe guy. Most likely due to the Orlando colors, popularity, explosiveness, and laid back mentality (keep in mind this was years ago). Penny's shoes were never Jordan status but they were eye-catching, beautiful, and groundbreaking. Penny was never loud, never super popular. But his shoes did the talking. Nike/Tmac could have been something special...
Wow that is sooo gross, and I've been waiting for this for a few months now. adidas f'ed up, again. The T-Mac 4's were the best by far, 5's were nothing special, 6's were okay.
Those shoes are super ugly...I'm real disappointed with adidas this year...all the take five players and dwight howard will be wearing the same shoe to for their stupid brotherhood campaign...yuck...
quite puke inducing. Too bad Tmac is on a lifetime contract with them. Is it too late for him to break the contract and sign with Nike or someone else?
Im going to give my unbiased opinion since I have all 6 and soon to be 7. The 1's and 2's are fairly similar. The 2's were the most awesome looking but also the best shoes basketball wise. They were however totally uncomfortable for anything else ( they restricted your circulation, did all kinda funky things to your blood in the foot). The threes were similar but didn't really improve on the 2, plus looked like a step backwards in the looks department. The 4's were brilliant looking shoes, horrible basketball shoes. Too heavy, the strapless thing broke easily, and for a shoe marketed to guards it weighed like a ton. The 5's are awesome shoes, comfortable looks sweet and most importantly durable. The 6's is similar but with the expansion pods at the bottom probably better suited to faster guards with the 5 being a more all around shoe. Ill note that the 6 gave me knee problems due to its structure suiting ppl without flat feet. The 7 is a TS Lightspeed shoe. There are actualyl three TS shoes one for guards , for forwards and for centres, but everyone will wear the TS EXCECEPT Gilbert AReans who has his own shoes. The lightspeed is the featured shoe for T-mac so you could say technically it is his shoe.
