    I play basketball in the Nike Futuristics, and they're pretty comfortable. Do yall play in any other cool shoes and what do you think the best brand of shoes is? I think Nike, but I could be wrong.

    I just bought a pair of Nike Air Max Barkley's from like 1993. I think they're pretty good. I would have to say that Nike's and And 1 shoes are best for basketball. I don't care for Addidas and Reebok too much, except for the Iverson collection.

    As soon as I clicked on the thread, the first thing that came to mind was "Who's gonna say 'Chuck Taylors'"? You guys are getting too damn predictable. :D

    If I could, I would play barefooted. I think I get more hops being barefooted. I like my feet looking sexy. I don't need it to be all calloused up and nasty grotesque.

    "ball in?"

    Man, I haven't played hoops in so long...sniff.

    My knees just can't take it anymore. You young kids just don't know what it's like...

    I ball in Nike Zoom Flight Turbines on special occasions/big events/ fridays and on regular days I ball in Nike Flightposite KGs. Both are very comfortable but the Zoom's are waaaaaay more slick, quick, and to the court they reallllly stick! :p

    Sonny,

    So the new pair held up better than the old pair, eh?

    My little bro' just bought a pair of these and I told him not to play in them unless he wants to mess up his feet/legs/knees. Granted, my advice was based solely on info from kicksology.net, as I have no personal experience with the shoes.




    As for myself, I've been wearing the Adidas Mad Handles:

    Just like kicksology said, they were a pretty good value; I even got'em on sale. But kicksology also said that the cushioning might not last very long, as I found out for myself recently with some really bad, really painful shin splints. So now while I recover I'm shopping for some new shoes before I can start ballin again.




    I tried on those Nike Zoom Air Turbines. They felt awesome, but they're so damn ugly :eek:, I couldn't go through with buying them.

    I wear Adidas The Kobe. Hey're a couple of years old now, but they fit my foot shape... of course, I like their look in mesh too!

    I've also got a pair of AI's Reebok Answer IV's, and they're pretty damn comfortable...

    I had a pair last year but they didn't work out so well for me. I guess it just depends on the person.
