Played most of my high school ball in the blue and white T-Mac 2s, I loved those things. Although looking back I did roll my ankles a lot battling for rebounds and landing in the post, but I think that was my fault as much as the shoes. Luckily as a 17-18 year old I recovered super fast.

That Kobe 1 and 2 with Adidas as well. That Kobe 2 joint with the Audi TT serving as the inspiration? Mad wild.

The Air Jordan 13. Straight comfort and stability. Then and now.

The And 1 Tai Chi. Because Latrell Sprewell and Vince Carter made it cool.


Pics. I especially want to see the Kobe tanks again.

We'd go to the YMCA around lunch time. Play pickup until 6pm. Walk to the Wendy's across the street to grab dinner, then come back and play pick up ball until close. I miss those days!

It's why these shoes will always be my favourite and hold that special place in my mind/heart

Awesome!! Toronto in the early 2000s was a place of unique rizz :D :D

To play - I'll wear any shoe that has good ankle support, preferably high ankles.
Adidas pro model for basketball was my go to because it was cheap and pretty durable. Kyries shoes have been the best for the look and comfort while playing.

To stunt on you brokies - Jordan 3 true blues, black cements and tinker hatfields. Jordan 4 toro bravos, and the Shawn Kemp's Kamikazes. The Kamikazes are the most comfortable ever. Was able to get Kamikazes before sneaker traders effed it all up for everybody. J4s hurt my feet but J3 are pretty comfortable.

I had these Magic's at one point in black.

Remember these? They used to display them with Shaq's actual shoe size. They've aged really well, I used to believe the pumps were so cool. I remember Harold Miner incorporating it into his dunk routine :lol:

KD 12s are one of the most comfortable basketball shoes Ive used. Some of the Kobes are up there too.
