I am going out and buying some shoes for my first game Saturday. What kind do you guys/gals suggest I get? What is the most comfertable and where did you get them from?

Any black cross-trainer that's comfortable to you.

Brandon's been here for quite a while. He's not a spammer, is he? Why is your quote so different from Brandon's original post, when his post has not been edited? :confused:

Oh, I see. There is a Brandan who posted some spam today. I don't think that's our Brandan from New Orleans, JR. At least, I hope not.

There's a difference between Brandon98 and Brandon. The spammer was a different Brandan...without the 98 on the end. He resurrected Brandan98's post from 2 years ago so that he could insert a spam shoe blurb. He did the same thing on the football board. Mick just deleted both his spam posts. Hopefully, he'll get the hint.

Jeez, I didn't even look at the date of the original post. Good catch, Woddy. ;)

New Balance. Champs. 60.00. I highly recommend them. I wear them in Div. 1 ball.

Nobody calls him Woddy but me!!!! :mad:

Oops. Sorry, Tiny.

Zeke, what model? I'm considering the 601, but nobody has them around here.

Thanks, Chick.

Now don't call me Woddy again. Tiny is the only one allowed to call me that.

Btw, how did you know "Tiny" was his nickname? Been talking to his wife?

I saw some in Rack Room yesterday when we were getting our daughters shoes. To me any model will do. You may not be able to get the latest one. As you have found out. If you have some time you can go to new balance web site and order direct. Good luck.

Anyone have a pair of the New Balance 888s? If so, comments?

I don't have a pair, but according to this website,
http://www.shoebuy.com/sb/s.jsp?Styl...-_-none-_-none

this pair of shoes is described as this:

" Product Description (Men's New Balance BB888)

A supportive midcut basketball shoe for the player who demands long wearing comfort. ABZORB® forefoot and insert gives exceptional shock absorption. ABZORB®EX heel provides superior cushioning and stability. The Stability Web® gives superior support in the midfoot while reducing the overall weight. The herringbone outsole pattern allows for increased traction for lateral motion. The ETC® insert reduces friction, heat build up and blisters. "

I hope this will help.

Go for the 620's, Sports Authority carries them.

I've been wearing New Balance cross trainers for five years. Current shoe is the 609, but I have a new pair of 620 that I bought a year ago on sale that I will be wearing this season.

They run true-to-size and come in wide widths (2E and 4E). New Balance seems to have five models of cross trainers available in all black (601, 608, 609, 620 & 621)

I get mine by mail order from shoebuy.com. Since the size is true, once you know your size, the next pair will fit just as well.

Okay, I got the hook up for you.email me @ [email protected] and I will give you the particulars. 55.00 low cut 65.00 mid. tax and shipping included. It's from one of the leagues I work. The salesman will sale to you, I just have to give you the info.

the model 610 & 888

Outta curiousity, why New Balance?

If u look at the original message that is what he was asking for. Last yr I wore nike and this yr I'm going back to new bal. great shoe for me. its a personal perference.

Chuck can get the same deal - I plan to be ordering this deal too. I have to PM you to see if you're in the same conference but you have PM disabled.

PM? What does

This isn't about shoes ... it's about brandan. The REAL brandan. Anyone heard from him lately or know where he ended up and how he's doing?

Especially since the NFL returns to New Orleans tonight. It's the perfect time to touch base with him.

Agreed. I believe he checked in a few weeks ago stating he's been really busy with school, etc. Hopefully he'll get back in here more often!
