I play sagging, help style defense.  On offense, generally get guarded by a big guy, but float the perimeter to keep them out of the lane and crash boards hard when they sleep.  So, my offense is mostly raining 3's and putbacks.

Eastbay is okay but I like Shoebacca better.  They have hundreds of just Nike and Adidas in your price range.  (They have all the other brands too, but I pretty much only wear those two brands.)  Hell, you can get a very nice pair for $50.

Need to know your "game" first.

I play sagging, help style defense.  On offense, generally get guarded by a big guy, but float the perimeter to keep them out of the lane and crash boards hard when they sleep.  So, my offense is mostly raining 3's and putbacks.

Christ, are we the same player??? :ohno:

I would only recommend high top shoes for older people (people over 25). Ankle support is always important, but the older you get, the longer it takes for sprains to heal.

Guys, Great news.  As you all know, I bought these a few weeks ago.  They were described as blue and white, as they appear to be in the pic. 

Good news part is that when they arrived, they were Cat purp and white and look fantastic.

Sure, I ripped the seller on Ebay, but love the shoes anyway.

Just picked up these for $50 at the Nike Store at Legends.  I'm sure Havs would approve.

i hope they have a different color because those shoes are fantastic.  However, don't know if i can stomach the color if that's it, those were going for around 100 bucks at other places.

these have lasted an insane amount of time, but i think it's time for a new pair. Want something low low low. I like some of the old Kobes but not the new ones so much. what's good? clams?

Couple of times I've forgotten the Hyperdunk Lows and had to wear my Nike Trainer Free 5.0 kind of like these http://www.zappos.com/nike-free-trainer-5-0-game-royal-tide-pool-blue-photo-blue-white (http://www.zappos.com/nike-free-trainer-5-0-game-royal-tide-pool-blue-photo-blue-white) and like they are surprisingly good.

I wear mids now and they do nothing for me with ankle support (but they do restrict my movement and kind of cut off my circulation if I tie them too tight and are kind of clunky). My ankles are strong, I play all the time, and I've played in lows before with zero ankle problems.

I had the lows from last year and don't really care for them. Not very good traction and the eyelets cut into the laces and breaks them.

I like lows, so I'd probably get the Kobe's right now: http://www.eastbay.com/product/model:209161/sku:35578500/nike-kobe-venomenon-mens/purple/light-green/?cm=GLOBAL%20SEARCH%3A%20KEYWORD%20SEARCH&size=12%2E0

I've been using the mid hyperdunks for a while and liked them.  I'd gotten these low gray/silver hyperdunks a while back when they were on sale and I had an expiring credit, figuring I'd try them when my mids ran their course and if I didn't like playing in them, they looked alright for just regular sneakers.  Tried them out last night and I think I'm fine playing in lows.  I laced them all the way through that last hole that normally isn't used and felt fine ankle-wise.  Still can't dunk, hyper or otherwise.

Huh.  These are the mids I used until last night.  Didn't have any problems with them, so hopefully the lows will work out the same.

I still wear old ass Lebrons that Jacob Pullen signed to play hoopball. Those babies have hit non court settings a handful of times.

One time I jumped high enough to grab the rim with two hands.

Why is it that my dad is only an inch taller and when he was my age he could two hand dunk like a champ and I cannot? Were his Kentucky blue blood genes watered down by marrying a woman from Long Island? I'll never know.

I like dunks. I do not like Dunkin Donuts.

Was at the east suburb one yesterday and it's almost all different stuff than the south suburb one.  Makes sense I suppose they'd consolidate stuff to single stores so they can display all they have of something and all the sizes instead of a giant garage sale at each place. 

If anyone wants those purple Durants, monitor the concert thread for if I'd be going go a show at the sandstone type place down south.

When you said, "you are very cheap," how much do you expect to pay roughly? You have to consider that the cheaper the sneakers are, the worse they may be in quality. I know that cost doesn't always equate to quality, for I had sneakers for 25 bucks that I wore for two years. They were replaced only with new ones only because they looked shabby. But you're not always lucky to get quality stuff like that. I know it because I have quite a lot of sportswear from forstep style (https://www.forstepstyle.com) and some other online stores as I'm a pretty athletic person and constantly on the move.
