Re: Introducing the Zion 1 shoe
It’s crazy how bad so many players marquee shoes are. I really don’t get it.

Re: Introducing the Zion 1 shoe
Signature shoes were awesome in the 90's. They looked good and were unique.

Re: Introducing the Zion 1 shoe
I don't think this is the worst. The black is bad with how the Z blends into the front but the red one is p slick imo

Re: Introducing the Zion 1 shoe
i wouldnt get them since i dont play anymore but theyre not bad. they just need better color ways and color blocking.
I can hawk a loogie eight feet in the air and catch it with my tongue.

Re: Introducing the Zion 1 shoe
ehh I still have yet to see a dope signature shoe from these new generation all stars. I think kyrie might have the best one so far, and I like some of Paul George kicks.

Re: Introducing the Zion 1 shoe
I get that they want to incorporate Z for Zion, but somehow it just ends up making it look like a knockoff brand shoe. I actually like the garish colorway best just because it doesn't look quite as much like that.

Re: Introducing the Zion 1 shoe
I think they look smart enough, especially red/white one.

Re: Introducing the Zion 1 shoe
I feel like the only signature shoes people wear anymore are like Kyries, Kobes, LeBrons, and obviously Jordans. I know plenty of people will buy these and that's why Nike/Jordan keeps putting out new signature shoes but I feel like at the end of the day they will just be forgotten in time. I mean is anyone really making a big stink of Giannis's signature shoes. Maybe I'm not paying enough attention (certainly could be the case) but I just feel like I haven't heard anything about them since they first dropped. Have a feeling these will be a similar case

Re: Introducing the Zion 1 shoe
I like them. I think you can do some dope colorways with the design. I have to assume lukas getting one as well right?

These don't feel like they have a unique style.

Re: Introducing the Zion 1 shoe
I actually like these quite a bit, especially in comparison to the crap designs Giannis, Kyrie and PG have been getting.

I think the colorways will be key. I think part of the reason that I don't love the black/red versions is that they basically look like the type of low end team model shoes that Nike put out when I was playing HS basketball in the early 2000s. I think the garish ones look better.

If they're affordable, then those are a hit if they get good colorways. Dame shoe is everywhere because of the price and colors.

Do the kids get hyped over these because I know I don't anymore. Maybe we're too old.

Most basketball sneakers are hideous moonboots.
