nike powermatic.had that exact one on the right.provides good support with the rich leather upper and perfect size air bag.real snug fit too,not much slippage or side to side movement inside the shoe.sooo underrated and unappreciated,i LOVED my pair

super clean design.mine was the olympic cw,that shoe did me right,not only was it damn near indestructible on the court,it felt surprisingly comfy and broke too many necks to count along the way.i love the long and extra puffy tongue,that rubber handle was pretty handy.

my go to bball shoes back in HS.not much to look at but man,i love me some feet you wear soles.they were kinda heavy but not uncomfortably so.these can take a beating,wore them not only for games but practices and drills and they held up pretty good.

I will have to say Huarache 2k5s, Hyperdunk 2008s, and Huarache 2k4s, respectively. Boy I wish they re-issue these sometime in the future. Lightweight, comfortable, awesome fit. I think they're perfect for guards/wingmen.

The Air Ups are on top of my list got them when Mondragon Personal Sales was still handling Nike Merchandise here. Got the AJ IV, V, VI there also.

Never got the retroes on these kicks aside from the AJ X's. The retroed AJ's kind of sucked in their quality, IMHO.

AJ XII's

Bouncy cushioning on the forefoot and heel zoom air unit (especially on the forefoot for me), carbon fiber shank give a little more extra pop to your stride, skeptical at first but really made a difference. Good lateral support, a bit too high off the ground, I love the toe traction, I also like the plush feel of the sock liner around the ankles, feels luxurious. The upper has just enough balance of flexibility and stiffness. I can play all day with these, lungs likely to give up sooner than my feet.
