Basketball shoe performance wise:

Kobe
Lebron
Jordan
KD
Penny

[sportjames23]

If we talkin' All Time, it's gotta be MJ. Jordans from the 80s & 90s are timeless classics.

If we talkin' just today, I dunno. All these shoes look the same to me.

[tomtucker]

Lebron 10 great, big air bag and good ventilation....... 11

[Fire Colangelo]

Kobe's shoes are prettttty sick.

Anything but Rose's shoes would do

Nothin beats Jordan XI.

jordans are classics for streetwear but they're not better than any of the new shoes today to play basketball in

no they're just a low cut version of the regular kobe 9's, the bruce lee ones don't have the flyknit material on it and are basically a newer version of the kobe 8's.

i usually wear kobes but i picked up a pair of lebron xi and i love them...will probably cop these too

[(e)]

AJXI lows are by far the best pair of bball shoes I own.

Kobe's are usually solid. New Brons are shit, his first pair is his best IMO.

[sportjames23]

True. I never played in my Jordans anyways. Back in the day, wasn't no way I was playing in $120 shoes, and I sure wouldn't play in them today with them costing $200. :oldlol:

I prefer high Kobe 9's.

"Stripped of the original proprioceptive collar, the Kobe 9 Elite Low HTM offers a lifestyle celebration of performance-born innovation"

i just wasn't sure what that line meant, and anyone that hasn't played in jordan 28's is missing out, one of the lightest most well built shoes i've wore in a while from jordan brand

[DuMa]

how anyone can wear flyknit and play ball is beyond me. theres absolutely no protection for the top of your foot and toes. you'll be getting purple toes in no time

it's a reinforced flyknit doe, it's not your typical flyknit

[SexSymbol]

Jordans are by far the worst in terms of performance. Only street cred with those things is the value.
Kobe's low-tops are great, I don't understand that ****ing sock thing attached to it though, it doesn't help your achilles or ankles in anyway, just weakens it, low-tops are the best for basketball.
LeBron's shoe's are pretty good although quite heavy, Rose's are shit doe popular as ****.
I haven't tried Durant's shoes, won't talk about them

[9512]

The grandmama react juice series from converse r the shiznit.

[Budadiiii]

Performance wise, KD's are the best. low-top.

Most comfortable shoes ever.

KD 2. :bowdown:

light. comfortable, durable. Affordable.

Do you suck KD's dick all the time or is it just a gimmick

[sammichoffate]

The Jordan 6's were my favorite a few years ago. That 2008 olympic version...:bowdown:

If we talkin' just today, I dunno. All these shoes look the same to me.
it is actually the other way around. some of the lebrons and KDs are better looking than any Jordans i have seen.


True. I never played in my Jordans anyways. Back in the day, wasn't no way I was playing in $120 shoes, and I sure wouldn't play in them today with them costing $200. :oldlol:
why buy them then?

[dunksby]

KD's are good looking and perform well but they get so hot after an hour of play especially during the summer.

[magnax1]

Kobes are by far the best honestly.
Edit:those kobe 8s look exactly like the kobe 4s.

[bdreason]

Kobe 6's and 8's are my favorite shoes.

[bdreason]

Performance wise, KD's are the best. low-top.

Most comfortable shoes ever.

KD 2. :bowdown:



I have the KD6's, and they are nice, but still a step below the Kobe 6/8's.

[Meticode]

Back when I was in baseball, I saw a lot of people in the ghetto wearing Griffey Air Max's and Kenny Lofton's...

http://cdn.nikeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/nike-air-griffey-max-1_2.jpg

I remember when Nike had the Diamond Fury's in the 90s. I remember Kenny Lofton being the main sponser for them and my favorite player Barry Larkin wore them at the time...

But, just to clarify – this is a lifestyle edition, of a performance shoe.

Brons>Kobes>KDs

[Angel Face]

I always liked Air Jordan 3

http://s3.amazonaws.com/nk_wp_media/uploads/2009/01/air-jordan-3-cement-400.jpg

And Air Jordan 11

http://s3.amazonaws.com/nk_wp_media/uploads/2013/01/Air-Jordan-11-Playoffs-Restock.jpg

These 2 are my all time favorite bball shoes.

From today I like Kobe 8's design,
