another colorway of the KD elites, these showed up online a couple of weeks ago, greatness but as of now only announced for kids.

that is pretty great 'clams.

ended up getting these:

they're ok, but don't get the best traction.

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 just don't care for the KD's because that logo just looks so dumb.

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.

Gooch has the new Lebrons in the Air Lopakman color (the size 8s I'd locked down while desperately looking for size 7.5).

I have these. they work just fine for throwing down windmills on 8' goals

Reebok Pumps give me an extra 1" of vertical.

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'm going to get myself my first pair of Jordan's very soon

Shooter Jones · « **Reply #111 on:** January 17, 2014, 03:00:12 PM »

Went old school and bought these for league play this year. Probably wouldn't buy another pair.

those are pretty awesome if you want shin splints and planter fasciitis.

i've been wearing them since the Jordan 1's. you should read up sometime about the drama the colors on the shoes created when they were released. it was a big deal.
just got these-

also have a pair of 4's and 5's

That website looks a little janky. Under "new" the newest is from 3/28/11.

Those shoes do look pretty sweet, though.

I have hated these shoes, I have no idea why I wore them for over two years. Just ordered some EMAW Kobe's on the cheap!
