Just the little grey rubber part on the front sole and a little rubber patch on the outer sole. I didn't touch anything that was plastic or fabric.

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.

Peace
Sorry to perform thread necromancy, but can you give me the model/a link to these? I'm gettin' new reffing shoes for Xmas and like the look of these. I realized after the first two weeks of the season that my current shoes aren't going to live through a 3rd season.

I do humbly accept the "Read the whole damn thread before posting a question" award.

I'd like to thank the Academy, and God, and my parents............

Does the Academy present these retroactively?

To you and everyone else using running shoes, any issue with twisted ankles by not having the flat sole.
I'm not sure what you mean by flat sole, but I've worn running shoes for the last 3 years (wouldn't wear anything else; in fact, would probably quit if I couldn't find a good pair) and I've never had any ankle issues. I have had some issues with achiles tendinitis (which has been all but eliminated with my running program) so I wear ankle neoprene supports -- perhaps that helps.

Just Got These

6 games on them and I love them. My first attempt at running shoes and I'll probably never go back to a court shoe .

Try black nail polish. one application is all you'll need. you'll thank me later.

find it any walgreens, rite-aid or other chain store that sells make-up
