yeah, they're a nike "team sports" type of shoe. http://www.sportsauthority.com/prod...&cp=3079732.2363476.2363620&parentPage=family based on this design, customized by the guys at nike. They also customize some of the cushioning and support for Roy I believe when they do these shoes.
this is what he wore at the ASG: http://www.sneakerfiles.com/2008/02/16/nike-zoom-bb-ii-2-2008-all-star-west-brandon-roy/ defnitiely a variation of Nike's main line.
weak...the ASG is a NikeID shoe..... http://store.nike.com/index.jsp?cou...0108_v9_0_20081001/piid-7946/pid-222717/cid-1
I might order them. I've been spending too much money recently, I'll probably order them for my b-day or something......they won't let you write "Blazers" on them.
The original black and white patented leathers are still my favorite. I remember I got a pair when they originally came out after a couple months of begging my mom. When they reintroduced them I snagged a pair of the all gray one's. The original Penny Hardaway's are still my favorite non-Jordan shoe out there. BTW, anybody remember the old Mitch Richmond Air Bacon's?
I'm more of an Air Max 90's kinda guy... If anyone here is interested I have a friend who makes custom shoes in Portland... He did some shoes for Murs if anyone knows who that is.
The last time I bought shoes for basketball, I told the salesperson I wanted shoes that made it look as if I had no game whatsoever. He hooked me up with plain white Nike hightops that looked like something out of the 80s. I freaking love them.
There are not many times I feel as old as I actually am. Any time I enter a discussion of basketball shoes, I feel about twice as old as I am. Not to suppress conversation on the topic at all... just bemoaning my shoe-based geriatric state. Ed O.
Saw a cool B-Roy commercial for these when I was watching ESPN this morning. He was talking about how he'd be shooting in the snow and his mom would tell him to put gloves on if he's going to play ball outside.
I'm gonna follow BeerBoy and post a couple of my favorite pairs of shoes... (Common Projects chocolate patent leather hightops) and (Marsell Cobra - Nero yellow) Whee. :| Ed O.

I was going to get a pair of Common Projects.....I think some suede boots....should have....the patent leather is a little too flashy for me though.
but as a result of my knee being all fucked up....can't really use hoop shoes that much anymore anyways.....
