Advice On Basketball Shoes

[James]

The X's are the most simple and one of my favorites for basketball, those are the ones i use now, the 13s are good, but because of the bottom of the shoe, they feel wierd, and why is it that i have a feeling your going down the variant path?

Hey again ;] , what do you think about these: Nike Air Jordan XIII , Nike Air Jordan X , Nike Air Jordan XVIII .. Which colors looks the best for these & which of them are most comfortable for playing bball?

You shouldn't let others decide what your shoe will look like...if you hate pink/gold and Mac says "Yeah man pink and gold look sweet" you shouldn't buy them because he says so, that's your call. You decide the colors and we'll let you know how we feel the shoe performs..

Nicekicks does not sell sneakers.
As far as being legit, they are, the dude that runs the site is up in Austin and only does blog/news bits about upcoming releases and hypebeast stuff.

I can't rock lows at all to hoop in. As it is my ankle is always in a brace and I rock hightops for support.

That LeBron shoe James posted isn't a basketball shoe it's a summer "style" shoe so I wouldn't play in that. I'm rolling with LeBrons 20-5-5's and got em for like $80. Also my buddy wears the AF25's and loves hooping in them. Also I think Kobe's latest release looks and fits like a great hoopin shoe.

Good luck on your shoe search!

I got some of the new Starbury's for the park, they are ok. They are light, pretty comfortable and for park play where shoes are done in like a month, $15 cant be beat.

I did just get the new Lebrons...they arent as heavy as I thought, pretty good cushioning but they hurt my feet for some reason. I havent played in them yet but just walking in them after a while hurts my feet.

Yeah, I'd park ball in the Starbury's, they are priced for that. Although the Dave and Buster's I went to, it was just so f'd up in the shoe section, I wear a 12 and there was like nothing there in my size.

I wear 13's and I'm 17..not entirely sure on how long you grow but I hope I don't get past size 15..

Yeah good choice Amac. If I could still hoop outdoors I would probably use something like that or hit up Ross or Marshalls for some cheap shox or something. Cement is so unforgiving and the heat & humidity down here blows so I am strictly indoors these days.

Dave & Busters the arcade/bar/restaurant carries Starburys or did you mean Steve and Berry's?
