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.

BillyClyde 68 Sat Dec 06, 2008 01:10pm
I as wondering if they added speed to refs over 50. If they do I need a pair!

Matt S. Sat Dec 06, 2008 04:54pm

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

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?

Adam Sat Dec 06, 2008 05:53pm
yuk!

BillyMac Sat Dec 06, 2008 07:28pm

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. :D

BillyClyde 68 Sun Dec 07, 2008 02:25pm
I wih they still made the Converse Running Refs! they were classic

BillyClyde 68 Mon Dec 08, 2008 01:32pm
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 Fri Dec 12, 2008 12:30pm
Not them!

Because you are clearly an authority on shoes. :rolleyes:

TravelinMan Fri Dec 12, 2008 01:09pm
How about shoes for refs over 60?

BillyClyde 68 Fri Dec 12, 2008 04:03pm
That is why I am trying to find out what Stevie and Jimmy are wearing this year!

BillyClyde 68 Sat Dec 13, 2008 10:30pm
Looking good today
