For hooping, shoes are pretty important and a very personal choice. Kobe, who lit up The Garden for 61 two nights ago, told Complex magazine that his new shoe, a low top, is light and lets him feel the court.
I'm with him on that concept. I don't like bulky high-tops made for post players. In my experience, relying on fabric for ankle support is just hype. Give me something quick.
My all-time favorites (pictured from top to bottom):
1.) Air Jordan IIIs (simply gorgeous, almost too pretty to play in)
2.) Air Flight Huarache (another 1992 shoe, that has many incarnations, popularized by Michigan's Fab Five)
3.) Air Raids (1992s that are ready for battle)
Good content. Just wanted to add some buying advice for those on a budget.
ReplyDeleteThere is a huge market for sports shoes but what’s significant is the genuineness of the shoes we intend to buy. Most often we think that a pair of authentic shoes would cost us big money and so we turn to fake shoes which are available at very low prices not realizing the consequences of wearing them in the long run.
However, you will be happy to know that you can still get genuine sports shoes at cheap prices. The only thing that we require is a little bit of research to know which stores stock original stuff and offer good discounts that make genuine shoes affordable and fit our budget. So spend sometime and research online to find where you can shop around, how you can shop and when is the best time to shop.
Thanks, Kamran. I totally agree with your assessment on making sure to get the genuine article.
ReplyDeleteI like to dig at mom and pop stores in cities that tend to stock certain shoes longer than the bigger chains.
