They are, and continue to be, one hell of a basketball shoe. These were designed by a guy who seems to actually understand hoops. It's not like now with some former Nike Talk guy, making kicks from a non athletic perspective. It now seems as if the designers simply throw a bunch of crap up against a wall, and whatever sticks, they run with it.longstroke that lebron 3 u posted a few pages back was my first pair of nikes
The proof of this is in them not being able to get the damned swooshes to stay on the shoes anymore. Watch someone come on and ask, what does the swoosh have to do with the performance?
Not only is that a ridculous question coming from a bunch of dudes who don't even play ball on here, but it is ridiculous from the standpoint of BRANDING.
If they can't get that right, having the swooshes remain in place, what makes you think that the shoe's ability to bounce back from intense pressure and competition was actually a priority in development as well?
It's just friggin' ridiculous, and then for the prices to be so high, is simply a slap in the face of the consumer.

According to who? 'sheed is still wearing AF1's while playing for the Knicks, and quite a few have been spotted playing in foams this and last year as well. Rondo has been wearing them off and on all year.
This isn't about all athletic brands, this is about Nike's Lebron shoe, which retails for well over two hundred dollars after tax in some states. A two hundred dollar shoe, made completely out of plastic.
It's ridiculous.
I've posted what Tinker said, and he called it new age plastic.
Here's what new age plastic does...View media item 181378

Refering to that pic above, has any other shoe, from any other company, done that as of last year?
That does not happen with a high quality product, not for one that retails at two hundred dollars.

Stuff like this should NOT happen, this is what a well made shoe looks like after balling...

I could say something sharp right here, something incredibly pointed, but I will save it for another time.
There is too much ignorance around here, so I have to keep my most potent arsenal on reserve.
With that said, I don't give any Nike compliments. I've been banned several times simply for being a Nike hater. So for me to say that this shoe pictured was not only a great shoe, extensively played in during the summer runs, should be proof enough. However, just to show how my shoes wear, here's another pair of Nike shoes I've played in for a month indoors.
I had to retire this shoe as the traction looked like this after one month of play. It wasn't a bad shoe initially, but it broke down pretty quickly. One month for me isn't very long. Again, I am six four, two fiddy. My DRose kicks, the lightweight type of shoes, are still going strong. The Kobe sign at the tongue rubbed off pretty quickly, which again, shows that Nike does not make the aesthetics of their shoes for hard core usage. The rest of the upper held up well though.
