    So I haven't bought any in like ten years, and I'm too cheap to buy the Lillard ones, but are these D Rose ones too over the top for just wearing casual, not actually playing? Keep in mind I'm an old man (25) and might looks ridiculous in them, but I can get them for like 50 bucks when they're regularly like 160.

    I've got the same shoe, lol. It sucks. Compared to my Nikes no padding and uncomfortable as hell. Really disappointing. I got them at the Adidas company store so I paid $60 for them.

    Do you have the Lillard ones? Maybe I'll just wait until Black Friday to pick a pair of those up like I was going to originally.

    Maybe I'll just get some shitty Filas at Sears for like 30 bucks, lol.

    Haven't tried the Lillard ones. It's a bit of a budget shoe so I'm skeptical if they will be comfortable.

    If you wanna pay top dollar, I've always loved the adidas t mac shoes. Soooooo comfortable.

    I had the broys from Nike and hated them

    I'm too cheap for top dollar for a pair I'm not actually going to play in, that's why I was actually considering these.

    Buy some retro jordans so when you get your ankles broken you'll look pretty doing so.

    ...the Lillards are surprisingly comfortable and appear to be very well made! You won't be disappointed.

    Various colorways of the D Rose 773 IIIs are only 7 bucks more, are they better?
