What can I say? I decided to play in these today (indoor of course) and these are far and above the best basketball shoe i’ve ever played in. Here are some things that set it apart from other shoes i’ve played in:

1. First of all, these are incredibly light. They feel like you’re wearing ultra light running shoes or something. You don’t even notice them at all- it’s pretty impressive. I was playing in AF25′s before and they are 3-4 times lighter. Impressive (yes i said it again).

2. The Fit. Overall these shoes grip your feel unlike any other basketball shoe i’ve worn. When making cuts, stopping on D, crossovers, etc your foot never moves. How many people can say that about their shoe? I feel like i’m swimming in most of my shoes, but not these. It’s almost like they’re molded to your foot? I have no idea.

3. The Low. Yes, they are low-tops. Does that matter? Negative. You’re going to fuck up your ankle regardless of what shoe you wear. If you are playing basketball and not taping your ankles anyway, you’re ignorant as fuck. that’s on you if you get crossed up, not the shoe. The weight, fit, cut, etc are all enhanced by having the low-top.

Sometimes you’re watching a basketball game, or any sport , and you see a play that just makes your jaw drop. Fortunately for Laker fans, you see this pretty much every game with Kobe (I know I’m a fanboy, at least I admit it). This is definitely one of those plays. It’s a Sportscenter top 10. It’s ridiculous. I finally found it on Youtube (and it actually loaded here at the office, amazing). Check it out and comment with any crazier plays you’ve come across from your favorite team. Maybe Pat could add a couple Sixer offensive highlights…. from the regular season. Fools went to sleep at the wheel in the playoffs!
