Shoe brand? What is your favorite to wear on the court?

Each upcoming basketball season I ask this as my initial Official Forum question. What is your favorite shoe to wear on the court? Last season I switched from the Converse Run-N-Ref's to the New Balance 608's and liked the NB much better. They held up better throughout the season and with the addition of some SOF Athletic's Plus Insoles gave my knees and shins some relief. I am sure that many other types are worn, just curious what everyone else is wearing....Of course I know Mark P. goes barefooted from last year's question...

Guess it would have paid to review several old postings, but sounds like the NB 608's are well liked and for good reason. Thanks mick.

I know a few guys who wear the NB 608 and like them. I am partial to the Addidas SS2G. Best shoe I have ever reffed in. As for the insoles, I wear custom othotics and swear by them. They are worth ever penny I paid for them.

608's with sorbothane ultras, best two things I ever bought.

I leather lustered them this weekend, what a pain in the arse.

They look good, but a lot of work, next time I'll suck it up and pay them to do it.
