Yep, I gotta go out and spend $140 so I can be like LeBron!

Man, I wonder if I'll be able to dunk?! (of course not during a game or anything, just in all my spare time when I practice)

Or you can go out and ref in your $50 PayLess shoes and spend $300 on orthotics next year. Your choice.

Oh please!

As we've talked on the Forum over and over again, there are a great many factors that determine what shoe is best for each individual based on a persons size, width of feet, flat feet/arches, surface types, number of games, etc, etc.

And for me, paying $140 because Lebron endorses/wears it isn't it. Just my $.02.

Good for you. But that particular shoe may be all of those things for someone else.

I concur - the shoe has to have your upmost attention or your asking for trouble.

It appears to me now the question that is seeming to come up more and more is - do you want a court/referee shoe (designed specifically with us in mind), do you want/need a running shoe (as others have suggested for padding and to take a pounding maybe), or do you want/need a basketball shoe (that does what a basketball player needs it to do i.e, ankle support for quick cuts, etc.). Personal choice with many opinions.

I've been wearing the Shox all season and love them. I'm thinking about buying a second pair. Which NB are you looking at - 888s?
