Take it they have mids or lows then too if those are elites. Or maybe just lows with the inserts like the 7s

I wouldn't buy them that's for sure, but then again I think most basketball shoes look like ****.

He said they were inspired by Pacquiao's shoes. I only liked 2 Kobes, the zoom kobe 2 & 4. 4 might be my favorite sneaker ever.

I like them... But would never wear them... Or any name basketball shoes... Those pricks make enough money, they don't need my shoe-coin... And I mean Nike too...

i like them. but only because i like basketball shoes with a crazy amount of ankle support. ive got two beyond fcked up ankles, and i couldnt imagine every playing in lows or mids at this point. hell, im playing in the ektio breakaways (which i love), but would consider these if they really are made for ankle protection (or are them more for the achillies?)

$230 though... .damn. but maybe its just the elite version.
