IMO I think these are the best shoes of the LBJ line, especially outdoors.

Yeah, love the 20.5.5's, but the velcro on mine are dead. Might try to hunt down another pair or just cut the straps off.

Here's my rotation right now:
OG Jordan XVII
Shox BB4
ZKII Ultimate
LeBron VI

The velcro does give up after many wears, but they are near indestructible outdoors. These need to be retroed every summer!

 

[deezyvsop]

If they're so indestructible, why do they have to be retroed so often?

 

[xbiker47]

All ive been using recently is the air jordan xxi, such a comfortable shoe

 

[255forlife]

talk is cheap.

last 5 times i hooped.

 

[jepeh21]

some of my basketball shoe rotation, don't have pics for the other but i also wear my raptor 7's, xix's xx's, ix's, af25's, melo 5.5

 

[free da juice]

Hyperdunks were a screw and are now my beaters. ( I will never trust lunar foam again ) I now only ball in my lebron 20-5-5 and my air max 180 bball orwhatever they r called.

My ballin shoe rotation..I normally ball 3x a week.I ball in J´s always baby.

 

[ehh]

The current six, BB's get the most burn...

 

[timmmmm]

i keep my rotation tight with Kobe III, Hyperdunks and stealth XXs that come out on occasion


man i bet when you go from the lebron IVs to the hyperdunks you notice the difference

 

[jepeh21]

reppin va how are the M4's and M5's for playing? i haven't balledin my M4's and i plan to get an M5, thanks!

 

[reppin va]

To be honest..I think that the M4 is a lighter shoe.The M traction pattern is harder than the M5..Meaning the M5 pattern is softer and has different sized M´sgiving it better traction.And i like the fact that the M5 has zoom in the forefoot and heel..giving it a more responsive feel.But not really closer to theground than the M4.For some odd reason i noticed that the M4 just feels like it puts my foot closer to the ground.If you are looking for ankle support..the M5is great if you lace it up to the very top..but then you feel restricted..The M4 is just perfect bout the ankle support without over-doing it.The M5 IS a goodall-round bball shoe..AND you gotta love the fact they used zoom and not just air-sole.

Just the BB2's are ID, I don't think the BB1's were ever available for ID.

LOL, tell me about it. I'd get at least two ID versions of BB1 if Nike made it happen.

my 09s got minor scuffs on the toebox

 

[255forlife]

you guys really worry about scuffs on your hoop shoes?


i just think of them as battle scars.


if anything, battle-tested kicks help me play harder.

 

[cbfpunch]

lol nah the thing is i just got them and couldn't clean them off. aside from that i don't pay them much mind.

 

[reppin va]

Just for kicks..just try to keep my 3yr olds´ feet kinda fresh.

 

[dneou20]

VA-
only playing in Jays eh?
imho nike>jb when it comes to ball shoes
i mean JBs got some great performers
But nike has just stepped it up as of late

But nice rotation nonetheless
