    Can anyone recommend some good outdoor basketball shoes? I'm need of a new pair, my Vince Carter's are thrashed.

    I like light weight shoes with a lot of comfort.

    ^I love the old Penny's. I still wear them to play basketball, one of my definite favorites.

    Kobe's are arguably the best shoes ever to come out. Pick up the Strengths or Sheaths. Both are incredible.

    They probably taped all their ankles.

    What I can't believe is that in parts of Europe those ugly Chuck Taylors are in style. They charge people somewhere around 80 Euros for that crap!

    I was looking at those, but my friend just tweaked his ankle last weekend in his Kobe's. I wear the Kobe II Adidas shoe for indoors, I bought a bunch of them a few years ago. Probably one of the best indoor shoes I've ever had. But for outdoors they don't grip properly.

    Adidas Pilrahnas. Good looking, good comfort, and cheap. Only $50 bucks. Search them up on finishline, here's a pic.

    You think those are good looking, I'd love to see your woman...

    I'll be picking up a new Tiger Hat or some jerseys, I'm not sure.

    Those are very poorly designed. Damn. No offense, dude. I hate most of those basketball shoe designs. They're usually all overdone like the soccer boots.

    lol, they're like the opposite of clean. Way too busy and bulky. I don't like all these new fashions they have with basketball sneakers these days.

    I ended up buying the TMac 1's, I bought 3 pairs, they were only $39.99 before the 30% off. I went a little crazy on Eastbay, spent almost $600, but saved 30% on the total.

    Umair those shoes are too busy for me, and I don't like shoes with straps on them.
