Wade's signature shoes is already cheaper than the others (e.g. Kobe, LeBron, Melo, etc.)

I prefer a more simple style.

Once again Michael Jordan is the GOAT in something basketball related...

hell a superstar could release a $40 shoe, and it'd still be affordable, cheap, and could probably have better quality than a 10 dollar one.

I thought you said you didn't wear them? :cheesygrin:

But with all the Wade jokes going around on this thread, and now Kobe's shoes popping up (and in that same spirit), do his come with a team of attorneys, a girl who will actually agree to sexual intercourse, or maybe they'll rat out a co-worker for you when you get in trouble?

I guarantee you, if they came with a girl who said yes, they'd sell damn well, especially a $10 bucks a pop. You get shoes with that too, after all...


1. :rofl: :clap: :bowdown:

2. I had a pair of Kobe's space shoes, and while they look ridiculous, they were actually pretty damn good. I used them in all of our games.

3. Hakeem Olajuwon had a shoe contract with Spalding back in the day and cost 34 bucks. I thought that was pretty awesome of him.

Once was those shoes were broken in, they were just as good as any adidas, nike and reebok basketball shoe I've ever bought.

That's real talk. One time someone said that they bought only Ford and Chevy cars because they were made in the USA. What people don't know is that they are mostly manufactured in Sweatshops in Mexico, Canada and parts of South America.


Umm... Canadian auto workers are typically paid more than their American counterparts and Canadian workplace safety regulations are a lot stricter than America's. At the very worst the conditions are the same as US plants.

You are a very stupid individual.

People would buy it like crazy. I know I would. Personally, I think Steve and Barry's did a poor job of selecting Ben Wallace and Stephon Marbury to represent their sneakers. They could have at least selected a star who isn't as famous as Shaq, Lebron, and Kobe. Maybe someone like Chris Bosh would have been good.

Kobe's new kicks are disgusting(especially the home all white one), but the Wade's shoe line have consistently looked like crap year after year.

sidenote: Kobe only cares about performance of the shoe..

and the ASG version looks decent imo:

You couldnt pay people $10 to wear those.
