Nb 888

I just got the New Balance 888, which I ordered on-line. I was surprised that the words "New Balance" and the "888" on the tongue are in white. My NB 620s...which are my favorites...are truly all black. But they don't polish as well as the 888 are said to.

Splute - Nike Shox ID, patent leather. Look great, comfortable, but they make my feet very warm... maybe the patent not letting air in?? Otherwise I like them.

i've looked at (i thought) every option in the nike id program, but have never been able to get a pair 'all black' that i like. what model shoe did you order?

Yes, covering your feet in plastic (which is waht Patent Leather is) will do that.

Over the past 6 years of working high school games, I've gone through some different shoes:

Officials Choice Patent Leather
Converse Whistle
New Balance (forget model number)
Reebok High Top Basketball Shoe
Couple of others not worth mentioning

This season, I am using an older pair of Nike basketball shoes I had that is still in pretty good shape despite playing basketball in them for the past few years (primarily indoor).

In addition, I broke in a pair of Nike Shox running shoes ($110 retail at Foot Locker) last week. They were surprisingly comfortable and I like them. They are pricey and you can't get discounts on the shoe. However, I make use of my credit card rewards to either get money back or get gift cards to foot locker and that helps offset the high price of the shoe. :)

I am wearing adidas a3 microride leather. I love them, but found out they aren't making them anymore.

Gotta find what works for you and go with it...just becasue others like it doesn't mean it will feel good for your feet.

This is the same shoe I am using. I love them. I found out early in the summer the shoes were being discontinued during the summer, so I bought another pair. This is one of the lightest and most comfortable shoes I have ever refereed in.

Peace

What about the best way to shine your shoes and get them nice a bright? :)

What's the best product out there?

I went with the Pentagon Sports Court Shoes from Honigs. I like em, and I think they are pretty sweet lookin.

I personally like the Kiwi Leather Cuir, "Premiere Shine Ultra-Brillant." I have some shoes that have a little white or gray on them so I will use the neutral color for those shoes. This seems to work the best for me. I guess I will have to reference what everyone does across the country or what the NF had requires. Sorry if that is a personal preference and I do not consider what everyone does across the country. :D

I am using the New Balance 888. This is a really nice comfortable shoe.

I have used Leather Luster in the past. Takes a while to apply the first time, but then you're done.

THis year, I tried Shape-Up (or maybe it's Shine Up?). Easier to apply than LL, but doesn't seem to be holding up as well. The jury is still out.

Go to Nike.com and design your own, you can even get them monogrammed. That is what I did, when someone swiped my brand new kicks last year from the locker room

Is this shoe leather on the outside? It looks like its suade or something similar. Are you able to shine it up? It's a good price online so I was thinking of getting them but they only have Mustang Brown/Gold and a grey one.

That is the exact shoe style but it is not the exact shoe. The shoe I have was a Finish Line exclusive that I own and it is all leather.

Peace
