What are some good kicks for basketball + tennis? A couple of guys I play with think my sandals are hindering my game, (which they dont!, just dont step on my toes). I not only want them to be comfy and perform well. I want them to look good. Asthetics are important. I remember I borrowed my friends Jason Kidds back in the days, and DAMN, the best shoes I have ever worn. Then again, I never really ever wore any nice sports shoes except those.
First of all, when you say, "kicks" I'm assuming that that's some kind of reference to shoes. Second, .... .... you play basketball ....in sandals? mwahahahahahaha!
YOu might be able to get away with playing basketball in tennis shoes but not tennis with basketball shoes. Basketball shoes will be all ripped to shreds out on the tennis court. These days basketball shoe soles just can't handle the hardcourt. Sure there are some basketball shoes made for the blacktop but they are hardly performance basketball shoes. The best bball kicks are durable indoors but I play a few games outdoors and I can already see my soles wearing down. They do have tennis shoes that are 3/4 tops that provide ankle support if that's what your'e looking for but if you do play both sports quite frequently like I do, then I'd suggest you go ahead and buy two separate pairs. I usually buy last seaons' high performance shoes at lower prices. Ebay helps also once you figure out what size you need in-store. I currently wear Nike hurache 2k4's for basketball and Adidas Barricade II's for tennis for reference.
Aw, man, I thought this thread was going to be about [SOCCER] about the indoor soccer place on Shepherd near Memorial.
If your going to wear sandels....wear white socks. And while your at it go and buy a beer, and carry it in a brown paper bag.
on a basketball court and on the side of a convenience store while arguing with another drunk there is..... wait a minute, I knew that drunk looked familiar.
Kicks!?! Man.......previous generations must have used up all the good slang and left you young-uns with nothing.
hmm i concur with cheetah. although if I ever played against you, I'd probably ridicule you senseless. no offense of course
Reminds me of this time in high school when my friends were on this softball team with all the guys from this store they worked at. On the way to the game we smoked these 2 big fatties and had one left for after the game. I put it in the lining of my hat for safe keeping. Well I'm sitting there in the stands in my hawaiian shirt, baggy shorts and sandals and one of their playeres got hurt so my friends needed another player so I agreed to play. I hit the ball into the gap durring my first at bat and took off running as fast as I could in my sandals. My hat flew off as rounded first headed to second and I made it there safe, I then went back to get my hat. My buddy got a hit and moved me to third. About that time the the first base man yells, "Hey Ump look at this" and picks up a big J off the first base line and brings it to home plate. The ump smells it , holds it up and yell's, "whose Joint is this?" and there I stand, high as a kite on third base looking like the big lebowski. The ref ripped up the J and gave me a dirtly look as I crossed homeplate after the next hit.
Player, give me some brew an I might just chill, But I’m the type that like to light another joint like cypress hill I’m steal doobies Spit loogies when I puff on it, I got some bucks on it, But it ain’t enuff on it Go get the s-t. i-d-e-s never the less, I’m mellow fresh, Rollin joints like a cigarrette So pass it ’cross the table like ping pong, I’m gone, Beatin’ my chest like king kong.
