Best Basketball Shoes ever?

[206kid]

I think it's the Hyperdunks.. im thinking of buying one on ebay now..

[BankShot]

Why would you only buy one?

[Abraham Lincoln]

Still to this very day. The OG's from 1989, not the cheap retro remakes over the years. For this shoe as remembered was light, low cut, and resembled the feeling of a foot pillow.

GOAT

[ProfessorMurder]

Reebok BB5600's are my favorite. I've had multiple pairs, they last a long time, are comfortable, and are high tops.

By the way man, I wouldn't link to an auction you might buy. Someone that wouldn't have known could outbid you now. That's just my take.

Flightposites. Personal favorite have been the Penny IVs though.

[OneMoreSucka]

I don't think any basketball shoe out there commands as much money as these. The GOAT basketball shoe IMO.

Lately the best have been the Kobe IVs. Never seen a bad review on them.

:applause: :applause: :applause: I've desperately wanted a pair since I was a kid. Does anyone know where I could actually get a pair? They don't have to have been made in 96 or something, too, I'd be cool with a re-issue (if Nike actually does that).

[unknown101]

Does anyone have the KD1's, I was thinking of getting a pair wanted to see how good they were.


Right now I got a different color of this:

Hahaha! I was about to post the Shaqnosis shoes. I have a friend who really wants a pair.

I think they look pretty cool (very unique), but I've never worn them so I can't judge.

[Toizumi]

This thread should probably be moved to the sneaker section, but my favorite shoe to play on was the Nike Huarache 2k4.

those were great :applause:

We got a winner. Jordans are not basketball sneakers, they're for posers who want to fit in.

[LAClipsFan33]

Specifically for playing...

These are like the lightest shoes ever

Yes and a new pair today be not only difficult to find and unbelievably expensive, but it cannot be worn without falling apart, due to the material of the midsole aging for 2 decades.

This one's a dime 10/10

[crisoner]

Best to play in? Man I got to go with the Kobe 4's.....light and comfortable.

http://nicekicks.com/images/kobe-4-3.jpg

My favorite B-ball sneakers of all time though..........

http://www.myairshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/p_127_1_aj-iii-cdp-l-1i.jpg

Love the elephant print.....these are the kicks that started it all for me.


And honorable mention....

http://nicekicks.com/images/grant-hill-1.jpg

What you know bout the Fila fresh kids from back in the day...rocking them Grant Hills to the prom son!!!! LOL

Loved these kicks back in the day.

[Basketman]

My current pair of shoes. Mine's are in white/gray.

[momo]

I cant find the right skew but the OG Grant Hill FILA's were a great fit/look for me.

[Lamar Doom]

I have had a hard time with basketball shoes my whole life, comfort and style have never really matched up well until i found the And1 Open Run Mid a few summers back

http://js-sport.no/images/open%20run%20wbo.jpg

fit so well, super light, and i like their simple style. i bought a second pair.

my girlfriend just bought me the Kobe IV Charlotte Hornet Draft Day Edition

http://nicekicks.com/files/2009/06/kobe-draft-day-21.jpg

I'm in a summer league and have had them for two games so far and they have been awesome. insanely light, i like the lower cut too. for a laker fan i tend to keep kobe at arm's length, somebody would have to buy me his shoes for me to wear them, but they are really nice shoes.

and for comedic value, nothing beat the Dada Sprewell's which had spinning f*cking rims on the sides of the shoes

No doubt man....I really did rock those to the prom though. LOL
Remember what FILA ment.....Finally I Left Adidas....lol old school!

[InspiredLebowski]

I had 2 pairs of Grant Hill Filas and both were crap, fell apart in like 2 months. My personal favorite is the Jordan 13s, still use em.

My favorites so far,
Zoom flight 96

Jordan 23s
http://www.kicksonfire.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/air-jordan-23-xx3-or-xxiii-white-stealth-black-metallic-gold.jpg

Zooom kobe 4s
http://sneakernews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/zoom-kobe-iv-black-white-yellow.jpg

I currently use the 23's, and they are amazing. My friend let me borrow his zoom kobe's for a game, and they are sooooooo amazingly light. They are as light as sandals. But whenever the newer shoes come out, the majority of them will be better than the old, just because of technology.

[OG LeeTSkeeT]

i like the Kobe ThunderJammers if anyone remembers that parody from MadTV can't find a vid though..:violin:

[StroShow4]

http://teamdunamis.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/pic_080512_gh3.jpg

I have a pair of those. :oldlol:



Anyways, I like so many sneakers, I can't even figure out what my favorite is anymore. Here's a photo with 2 of my favorites in it though.

Those Jordan's are sweet looking.

Which ones are they? I'm definitely gonna have to get a pair.

Those are the 3s.
