    when none of your categories rate higher than a 5, value is basically null and void.

    I'm as much of a cheapshake as the next guy, but for as much basketball as I play, a good shoe is a MUST.

    I finally got a pair of Nike Shox last year and my ankle problems ceased.

    The only time I can justify wearing red and white shoes is when I hoop. Picked em' up for $50 at Foot Locker.

    Starburys are purely for style.
    After a while. . . Walking on them become a problem

    Yeah I'm currently rockin the T-Mac 6s in all black. Bought em a while ago but just started wearing em like a month or so ago so theyre basically new, still smell good on the inside.

    I'm looking to get the TS Creator TMAC shoes though, wanna see how those feel.

    Haha, those are awesome.

    If I did ever get a new pair other than these old Nike's I don't even know the name of, I would get the Tmac 5's. Those were my favorite.

    word these shoes rock when playing ball with them...kind of a pain getting them on and off but comfortable once one. i bought a pair 2 years ago and have use them only on the court so they are in pretty decent shape.

    i have to buy some new ones. adidas do not make the tmac versions anymore but since they were so popular they have the same shoe with the tmac logos and the one and i have seen those on eastbay

    I wear these. I bought them when they first came out, lasted me about 4 yrs so I got newer shoes. Was recently looking on eBay and I found these again in my size 13 for $40!!!!!!! Brand new. When I got them back in the late 90's I believe it was, they were $160. Awesome shoes. Outside is almost like a suede/rubber feeling. Easy to clean. Awesome grip. Nice shoes. 10 of 10

    Pain in the ass to put them on and off. They dont give me room in my toes to move.


    I've usually worn Nikes, and usually buy Uptempo whatevers.

    Lightness? Copas are some of the heaviest shoes on the market today (11.7 oz). I agree on the Adidas, though...

    These are my current ones...

    Low tops sucks on the ankles...especially when you come down on someone's foot and jack up your ankle

    Zoom air is the way to go...after I get my first pair a few years ago, that'll all I buy
