It's funny, the hyperdunks look cheaper/less durable than the hyperfuses, but cost $20 more. (I have old hyperfuse lows, they are more mids than lows).

My Jordan Superflys have been great all season, and I get compliments on them all the time!

but they're the only non-camo low options. Help me out here, clams.

not interested in high tops. (I don't consider those true lows). But congrats on the propers

They aren't, I have weak child ankles, this is as low as I can go.

I only go low also. I've got a pair of Hyperdunk Lows. They're pretty decent.

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 and like they are surprisingly good. Now actually kin of prefer them.

Thinking about trying these http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-683872/pgid-683874&cp=USNS_KW_091212_GPLA#?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-683877/pgid-683874.

looks like the ugly ass camo kobes are sold out online. Saw these that aren't bad, but $200!: http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-683016/pgid-775216

Thinking about maybe getting pure tennis shoes. I mean crap, $75? http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-682171/pgid-439310

I'm really late - how did the cross trainers work? It seems like tennis shoes would work pretty well.

that's funny, i was at the bar and couldn't get the pic to load but they're the ones i love.

these are great too- same shoe different colorway (golden state)

it's the flywire that makes them so expensive.

if i were buying a pair of i'd buy those durants you linked. if i didn't want to spend that much, i'd find a pair of the black Air Force Max 2013's on sale. the fab 5 wore them.

those are flippin' sweet. $200 is a lot of cheese for shoes, though.

ya it really is, saw that elite last week though and was

though.

also not sure i'd wear a true low top playing pick up ball.

@KicksDeals is a good follow on twitter fwiw

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.

damn, very tempting.

ya i wouldn't be as much worried about myself as i would the clowns i'm playing with doing something dumb that would end up getting me hurt.

but then again i doubt high tops really offer any true support to really stop an injury that's going to happen regardless

eastbay has a few different colorways of the kobe's on sale for $110 - 20% off, $90 + free shipping /no tax. not bad if you can do a pair of kobe's.

This is all in my size:

A guy I play with got the brown camo kobe's. They're OK I guess.

pissclams · « **Reply #99 on:** April 24, 2013, 03:13:41 PM »

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