    Those are easily the ugliest signature shoes I've seen in a long time. Literally cringe-worthy.

    Shoebuy.com has $20 and $25 off coupons regularly. There was something like a $25 or $20 off $75 sale going on there the other day. It may still be on. It's similar to zappo's.

    The Reebok Zig Slash are the most comfortable basketball shoes I ever worn. They are light weight and very responsive. I wish they came in a low top design but overall these are good basketball shoes. I have not had any fatigue in my legs with these shoes.
    AggieDentist said they are ugly but they don't look bad. He's just hating on them because it doesn't have the Nike swoosh on the side.

    Reebok shoes look terrible. I prefer either Adidas or Nike...

    How do you dudes buy stuff online that you usually would try on before buying, like shoes? :confused:

    Isn't it a hassle to have the wrong size (that's what she said)??

    Yes, I have trust issues. :p

    I'm still wearing my Reebok's after little over four years now. They are really comfortable. My Nike's didn't even last two years. My Adidas were not bad either. Nike looked better but I'd sacrifice that for comfort and durability. I guess it varies by the actual shoe though not brand.

    Wow, those are some of the worst/ugliest shoes I have ever seen. Looks like half dress shoe half 70's disco boot.

    Real question: does it matter what kind of gym shoes you play basketball in? I use running shoes and I feel like there is no real difference.

    Running shoes have no ankle support. Essentially, you can't move side-to-side as effectively.

    OK granted dress shows don't have a perforated toe.

    since i wear low tops the ankle support is the same in both. but running shoes seem to have a thicker ankle sole... kinda lean you forward because they are made to go in one direction, where as basketball shoes make it easier to move in all directions.
