I just think the shoes don't match many jerseys.
There is either too much somewhere or stitching is off.... maybe inside has some bumps
if you look pay attention that CLOSELY to find defects in sneakers, then you are a freak. sorry to say but that's past ridiculous.
b-grade j's are pretty much unnoticeable when it comes to defects. the only pairs i have ever seen have a noticeable defect are cuts in the toebox from abox cutter. those were the hares at the woodburn factory store.
The Technology has been outdated for some years now......
Flawed logic right there.
How did people ball in them back in the day then? I know that some new technology improves the shoe a bit, but honestly its not that big of a difference. Airunits are technology enough, I mean you can ball in Jordan 1s if you wanted to.
It's not the technology, it's just that the retros are of poor quality and wouldnt hold up well like the OGs did.
I'm worried... it seems that a few of you actually think MJ was wearing those jeans! That's just a PS people!Originally Posted by bence23

I love them things, So mad I got rid of my 2nd pair. I hardly wear my other pair. Too nice of a shoe, I don't see how people would ball up in them.
Basketball sneakers emphasis on ball.
Yeah....I always wondered whether the shoes NBA players get are better quality than the ones released to the public. And.....YES they are. I know this because I was at a charity basketball game and Danny Granger of the Pacers gave me a pair of his shoes after the game. I immediately felt them and am 100% sure that they are better quality than the "same" shoe that I bought at finishline. Just the overall materials and everything is better. All the padding on the inside of the shoe is thicker, the leather felt better, it was just overall nicer and better made. He also left his custom orthodics in them lol.....and signed the toebox of each shoe. The shoes were these, but in white and grey:Originally Posted by victoryballer

They also only have to last 1 game, rather than several months that several months like most people's basketball shoes.

can you show a side by side comparison? take out the insoles and show us the difference insole cushioning as stated and the leather quality (close ups)...thanks!!!Originally Posted by blackcat23mj

Ya i went to the game monday, which was terrible. Stanley Robinson was wearing the carmines, Jeff Adrien had on the white/black six rings, JeromeDyson had on those new ugly white/maroon/blue six rings that he always wears, and Kemba Walker had on a sick pair of new lebrons (pretty sure limited release,they wear all patent leather red wit white bottoms). UConn always has players with jordans on thoughOriginally Posted by Jumpman227
I know Stanley Robinson was wearing them his first game back for UConn against Stony Brook on December 15. I couldnt find any pics, but he was wearing them. Lately though hes been wearing Navy XIII's.
man i copped some carmine cdp's for 120, lolOriginally Posted by djslo361
carmines are/were too expensive to ball in
if u got 2+ pairs then i understand
or maybe a cheap b-grade
Seriously basketball sneakers are meant to be balled in. what is this cat suggesting that you ball in some K-Mart kicks and break an ankle orsomething, I don't understand how you can say you would pay more for kicks to wear casually than you would for kicks built for performanceOriginally Posted by dopestop

I REALLY DONT THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO BALL IN THEM.
