They look like the shoe Officials Choice used to carry.

Those are the shoes I pictured in post #12 of this thread, only mine are in patent. The official who owns the company is in my association. He's made shoes for a couple years now and I was hesitant about trying them, but everyone I know who wears the shoes loves them (and a lot of guys in our association wear them), so I decided to try them out this year since it's harder and harder to find all black shoes and I won't use a magic marker.

I haven't worn them in a game yet, but they did feel great when I put them on. I have never worn a low shoe before, so that will be interesting. I also bought the mid-cut, but those don't come in patent yet so I need to shine them.

This is also the first year I'll be wearing shiny shoes, which is something I always vowed never to do, but it was recommended at camp as something I can do to look more professional.

The shoes are reasonably priced and are well built.

Smitty, I get no picture in post 12. Where did you purchase them. Does the guy in your association have them. I only saw them on ump attire and I thought they were mid cut in patent.

That's odd - I can still see my picture in post #12. Go here: Official Footwear and you can see the pic I posted. He does have the shoes in stock. The lows come in patent and they are really sharp. The mids are all black but not patent. I have heard nothing but good things about them from many other guys in our association who wear them. I have not worn them in a game yet, so I can't say, but they were very comfortable when I tried them on. If you need his contact info, send me a private message.

I picked these up today at the local shoe store. Anxious to get them on out on the court.
