I love the Jumpman Team J (shoe #9 on my list) so amazing. When Nike retroes the Penny 2, I'm buying 4 pair.

[Flags of Dawn]

i wish i could remember the name of them but they were one of the first pairs of air max to go all the way around, they were black and white with these blue-ish metallic teardrops on the side, and im pretty sure scottie pippen wore them for a while.

Why are they always so painfully ugly? I've intended on getting a pair of basketball shoes for probably 2 years, not seriously looking a lot, but browsing when I'm bored, and there's never anything I'd put on my feet.

ah, i wanted to get the original Answers, but they were sold out everywhere, so i ended up with these for $150 when they first came out. my first pair the air max popped in them, and Athletic Fitters wouldnt take them back because i wasnt wearing them for only basketball. so my mom took them to Foot Locker and was like "would you take these back if they were being used as regular shoes?" and they gave me a brand new pair.

yep. the shroud. mannn those were tight, i always wanted the ray allen PE's.

Haha yea...

But really, when I made the switch from kids shoes to adult shoes, and I was listening to rap, I still hated them all. I had such a hard time picking out shoes because they were all so goddam ugly and ridiculous looking. I like my shoes relatively low-key, and definately not made of shiny plastic.

hmm check out some of the new jordan team shoes, relativley low key. the jordan xxi's arent too bad, new kobes, and dwyane wades new converse are really sleek, but low key looking, esp in the black/red.
