Does it really matter for them? Did you see how many times that whole crew got passed in transition?

They looked good if you're a mall walker............I thought they were hideous.

Just me.

I as wondering if they added speed to refs over 50. If they do I need a pair!

If we went to white shoes, would BillyMac change his title to Billy "white shoes" Mac? Inquiring minds want to know? 😀

I think these are them. Some players had them in my games this afternoon, and they seemed to match what I've been seeing on TV. Nike Shox Slam is the name of them. Look right to y'all?

yuk!

Are officials allowed to wear these after Labor Day ???

Ha!

With my bum knee and now back problems, I may want to get a pair as silly as they look.

It appeared the goal was to see who could have the biggest white logo last year.

It now appears things have went to who can have the greatest amount of while on their shoe.

Must be soft on the old feet. good shoes are the lifeline of a old ref!

Contrary to popular belief, Shox are actually a very poor shoe to wear on the basketball court, and in general. If you have back problems, I recommend avoiding Shox.

These could have been Welmer's shoe, but I feel Burr's footwear had more white. In all honesty, Burr's shoes looked like NFL Reebok cleat. 😀

I wih they still made the Converse Running Refs! they were classic

These do not look like the shoes that Burr was wearing, are the shox not good shoes to call in. I need a pair and was going to buy these?

BillyClyde 68

Not them!
