Daddy needs a pair of new shoes!
#19336755 - 12/28/13 11:59 AM (10 years, 1 month ago) |

I haven't bought new basketball shoes in about 5 years now, and the soles are starting to come apart from playing all these years.
I have a $100 gift card to Foot Locker. I can always throw in a bit of extra cash on top, but my limit will be $150.
So I'm looking for suggestions from you guys as to what kind of shoes I should get. I could care less about brand or athlete name associated with it. I just want something durable, comfortable, and within my budget. My preference is simple color scheme high-tops. No crazy color designs or anything like that.
I'd really appreciate some input since I'm not caught up on the basketball shoe game anymore. Thank you.

If only those sandals came in shoe form. You know me too well sheekle. I feel we're getting a bit too chummy. Almost crossing the line of possibly...male bonding! AHHH!

I think you and I are the only people who play basketball on this board 
I just wear regular running shoes - my feet are really wide and I can't even find basketball shoes that fit.

I think in the Pub we are the only ones lol. There's a few of us that play in the NBA Thread in the Sports Forum here though. It feels like I'm going to have a hard time getting input about basketball shoes on the shroomery, but it's worth a shot.

Yea. The air maxes were always great when I was younger. Do you know about how much they run for nowadays? I'm posting from my phone, and it's taking forever to load webpages.
zappa- The chucks don't have enough comfort for me. I've had pairs in the past but I'm not a huge fan of them anymore.

The signature series shoes like the new LeBrons, Kobes, and Jordans are super over priced. It'd be minimum 200-250 bucks for something I'd be scared of getting smudged. Thanks for looking tho.

Thanks man. I'm heading to the store right now. Going to get those new Air Maxes in black. Thanks for bringing those up. They used to be the best shoes I had growing up.

lol.
I came home first to look up some more online. I found an awesome pair of Jordan Flight Club 90's in Gray on sale for 90 bucks on footlocker.com. I've made up my mind.

Word from the wise shoe money is always better spent on drugs after you buy the first pair. Dont use em much while your high and you can keep em for a few years

Lol. Very true, but I have a gift card. If only I could buy dr00gz with a shoe gift card.

Honestly I'm either in sandals or barefoot 95% of the time here since I live right by the beach in south florida, but I do need a nice pair of shoes to play basketball in every several years.

Play basketball? Why not have sex? Or do you play basketball with kids? In which case that is quite unfair...
