Has anybody tried Ewings shoes yet or Shaq ones?

I had a lot of basketball shoes growing up in the 90s up to some Lebrons when he was on the Heat. The only shoe I really liked and even kept are the Wade playoff shoes from 2006. I still have mine boxed somewhere. I thought they looked nice and were really comfortable too.

The 11's are quite possibly the most uncomfortable shoes ever designed, and since they're patent leather you have to be careful how you walk in them, exacerbating their discomfort. But man do the Bred 11's look amazing.

You saying one of Jordans favorite pairs was one of the most uncomfortable ones?

They're my favorites too. I bought the legend blues last month. They still hurt my feet lol.

Taking them off is as satisfying to me as taking off a pair of ski boots.

Apparently Nike is going to raise their prices on Jordans this year. Seems like another down year for them.

The 85 breds are limited and expensive they say.

love sneakers my whole life, but never even considered buying a jordan shoe - even the ones that look cool. didn't want to buy shoes of someone I rooted against.

I understand that. I just wanted 1 pair but ended up getting 2 that combined are the price of Jordan shoe that isn't on sale. I like the weapons more though. Took me awhile to find a Jordan on sale that can fit my wide feet.

Not a connoisseur but DeMar's tribute to Manu sneakers were beautiful:

And I really liked Wemby's blue on blue from yesterday's game:

Good luck. I don't think any of the original Jordan line can fit my wide feet and I don't think any shoe is worth $100. Most shoes aren't even worth the $50+ they sell for.

Maybe converse will bring that back. I wonder what Nike will do if they have another down year.

Spoiler:

Oh man, I agree with this 100%. I was gifted the Concords from family a few years back and I still haven't broken them out yet.

I have some flat feet, so every shoe I wear immediately get's creased and I still can't bare to see these beauties get cracked :lol:
