BD doing the walking tour of the Big Apple, only place he went that he could ball was the 4th St. courts in the Village. Him and Common should of hooked up at the Rucker and ran one.

And I see Clutch has a Champs banner ad with a pic of BDs shoe.

 

Damon jones had a li ning endorsement 5 yrs ago. The nike and addidas guys dont switch to anta unles there is a serious overpay. Like i said before, yao is more valuable to the nba than he is to the rockets.

 

tell me where i can buy those shoes.. haha
and please dont say "china" i live in houston lol

 

love it.

 

The commercial is pretty cool.

Debateable... but your probably right.

Yao's value to the rockets cannot be questioned, however.

those shoes look kind of poorly made.
mainly i dont like the thickness of the white sole... pretty tall for a bball shoe (makes it easier to catch an edge and roll over)
style aint bad though.

 

Maybe some of these is still for good quality control(QC)

if QC is better, everything is fine

so they dont move in now just for better marketing in the future

 

All those shoes are ugly.

 

Maybe those pictures are not good enough, my friend has a pair, they look ok.

PEAK got better looks, but they are not available yet, will ask my colleague to buy a pair of BATMAN shoes when he goes to China for business this December.....

 

I don't know but I've never heard Mr. Carl talk this way before. Not even to me who has deserved it on more than one occasion.

 

To kind of reiterate the popularity of Yao amongst the Chinese people:

My cousin got married two years ago, and even setting up her wedding plans, she tried to mimic everything Yao did for his marriage, right down to the actual wedding venue where they got married. Her reasoning was "if Yao got married here, surely it is the best place for me to do the same."

Chinese people are fanatic about Yao in every possible way that is imaginable.

 

did he buy them in the US? or in China?

 

He must have played with one the other Chinese players like Yi or Wang ZhiZhi previously.

 

Makes it easier to get a rebound don't you think?

 

I don't think so..and that's what Leebigez was trying to say...not everyone needs Yao to score an endorsement deal in China.

 

He played with Wang 5 years ago, when he got the deal, if I'm not mistaken.
