NIKE Shox Shoes

[Official99]

I've seen a lot of referee's now wearing the Nike Shox Shoes, all black & all leather. I've seen many guys giving them almost a spit shine and they look great. Any one know where and how I can get these shoes? If you are wearing them yourself, how do you like them?

finishLine, about $119.

I know someone who said his pair fell apart while working on the court.

I tried them on and absolutely hated them.

They are too low cut and narrow; an ankle injury just waiting to happen.

If you are thinking Nike, the Air Max or Monarch are the way to go.






That's the Air Max Solas, Champs, Footlocker and Finishline all have them for 79-89 bucks.

I love good shoes, but those look terrible! I wouldn't buy them for reffing, playing or walking on the street...

It's a photoshopped picture to cover up the swoosh and clear plastic in the soles.

They shine well, have a uniform look and anyone looking for a comfortable all black shoe should check them out.

I could tell there was some touch-up work done! Sorry, don't quit your day job!

I still think they're an ugly shoe...it's just my personal preference and I know others will disagree.

I'm also of the personal belief that official's shouldn't wear "flashy" shoes not intended for reffing that brings added attention. I'm just a little old school that way.

Tomegun had a post of some Nike's that he bought from either Foot Locker or Finish Line. They look great. Gonna have to call that young fellow & get the scoop.

Just bought these. They are just okay. I prefer a basketball shoe for the stability.

Those are the ones I tried on and they were awful.

Very narrow heel and they are extremely low cut with zip in ankle support.

I'd fear planting and changing direction in those shoes.

I have these as well. They take some getting use to. After wearing them for a couple of months, I sort of like them, they are very light and shine up very well for me.

Thanks for the link. That is very helpful. Everyone always says try this shoe and I can never find them online. Pictures online never look the same as in person. Thanks again!

I use these, they feel good and good support around the ankle.
