old man hoopers: what's the best hoop shoes you played in?

[AlexanderNevermind]

Actually played in, not wearing like some high school kid while you go the the mall in colored contacts
bball shoes that you play in as a old school hooper, why you like em and pic

 

[woodchuck]

Converse used to make this shoe for Sprewell, and I don't remember what they were called, but if I could find a pair, I'd snatch them up. These shoes were featured in his "landlord" commercial. One of the best pair of shoes I've ever hooped in. The Iversons were nice and comfy as well.

The first Reebok high top best shoe I ever hooped in most impact qbsorbing sole I ever felt

Okay, you're my dude and all, but that's your fault! You could look at those and tell they were gonna be ass cheeks. Bean didn't even like those shoes! On a side note, the first KG's weren't bad.

 

[ballscout1]

you talking to old school cats so you need to specify if we playing outdoors or indoors.

 

[ak_rep]

Running shoes. Past my prime but not old.

No, no it's not! I played in '69, and '70. I thought Chuck Taylors were the shit!

Best basketball shoes I ever had.
Copped these when they first came out when I was in HS.

 

[smooveface]

I know I'm gonna get clowned for this, but these joints right here...

#1: Avia 830's. Great shoe. Horrible marketing. Endorsed by Robert Parrish of the Celts. That's the biggest name they could get. The shoe was plush, supportive, AND springy as hell.

#2 CWebbs were PLUSH as bedroom slippers

Yep. Them the joints I had too. The thing with Avia's was they were TRULY indoor/outdoor. They could handled indoor, as well as blacktop. SPEAKING of which, do you remember them Blacktop joints? I think Reebok used to make them?

I had a pair of those! After they came out, other companies came out with blacktop type kicks. The Adidas ones were pretty good.

 

[grownazzblakman]

1996 Reebok's "The Question"

These kicks gave me all the right "Answers" on the court.

 

[Bluelaser]

These hand me downs were given to me by an older brother and I must say
that by far they are the best basketball shoes that I've played in.

 

[LegendOfLedo]

Under armour spawn kobe 8/9 and jordan 28 se. All comfortable and light weight with serious traction. Nod to the hordan Xs as well.

 

[Jumbodicc]

 

[ak_rep]

Oh, back in the day, those Fab Five Air Max. Mids were the shit. Light, comfort, traction and movement.

 

[Bald_Bear]

Foams

 

[KingAddies]

High Top New Balance (I used call them New Brunswicks because of the logo)
Mid -hi Troops (red and white like those Iversons posted)
Reeboks Classics (like those Iversons but without the logos)

 

[blkdap_n_va]

1987 Nike Air Force 2.. Didn't know what gravity was when I balled in those kicks!

 

[AlexanderNevermind]

What do you think of some of the new technologies and now these fucking colors?

 

[Amajorfucup]

Reebok Blacktops. If you got a time machine you can find them in 1995 somewhere.

Yeah it was my fault. Couldnt tell ma dukes that shit though. She kicked about 180 for them.
Man, I didn't know any better. I was a Kobe stan at the time. I would have hooped in Timbs before them shits if I knew any better.

 

[D-TOWN REP]

Penny's or the Jordan 9's

 

[God's Gift]

I balled hard as a 5'10" center in New Balances in 8th grade.



Then caught wreck in some Avia's in my high school years. I think they were the 830's



Best was...

Died after a 2000pt summer.




*edit* The JUCO I balled at issued us these

and i feel this was the worst shoe I ever played in.

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]
