I have the KD's and yep, they are fine. Where are yours splitting?

Obviously your game requires more awesome.

So when you go up to slam it, you literally jump out of your shoes.

on the left shoe on the blue side where the red stitching starts.
I ball 4 times a week so i'm guessing it's just over use.

Definitely. You'll need to be more better at the basketballing for the shoes to be always great and lucky.

That'd be the reason. Four runs a week is like training for a marathon in running shoes, ya need to have a couple of pairs on the go, or update within 6 months...

are the 180s coming back out, didn't like the color of the re-releases

Not as far as I'm aware, I think most of them are the Autoforce 180s, which come with a vulcanised sole instead of the 180 Air Max unit. I think Nike gets more out of the flash new colours than the OG retro colours they do on these styles...

Having said that, I freakin love my navy blue ones, although the heels squeak like a bastard.

One of the perks of being a preferred Nike retailer is access to the Nike employee store in Abbotsford.... great way to max out the credit card...

How will wearing sports goggles affect which Sneakers i should choose? :S

 

[givemethecure]

It will make you choose lo cut adidas shoe for most fo your career.

I got T'd up for wearing snow goggles in our self annointed accessory round.

Maybe it was the combination of wearing them with 4 headbands 3 armbands, knee high socks, 2 fingerbands and a texterred tatoo.

Or the fact I chewed the ref out for telling me to take em off.

This is a fantastic idea FWIW. I intend to put this to the boys at the next game. I'm gonna rock a shooting sleeve (my forearm tatts sometimes distract me when i'm shooting... or something.) and loads of those little finger bands, just to make my ball handling worse than it already is.

Where can you get shooting sleeves?

I remember playing a game a few years ago (when the sleeves were starting to get IN), and some dude decided to cut his socks and make it a sleeve.

I don't know where people normally get 'em, I've got some Skins powersleeves in the shop ATM, which would have to do... and likely be better than the standard one's the NBA guys wear anyway...

If you want an NBA one, they are all over eBay.

They overdid with their sweats. I'm not in the business of paying over 100 for trackies.

Should stick to jersey's, shoes, game accessories.

Oh well.

Looks like I buy my shoes in warragal now....they give great discounts on new stock......

Yeah, i hear the surf shop has super specials on their Globes for balling in.

 

[WALL-e]

lol, there will be no balling with globes.

I hate it when you see a big meat axe on the other team with bloody runners on. You know he's just throwing elbows and you can leave him open outside the key.

Always Asics or brooks, because their podiatrist reckons they're the best.

And always with the over the back fouls on rebounds.

Whats the best way to get authentic college hoodies? I want to get a Georgetown hoodie at some stage, can you just order them from the college stores?
