New shoes

Thinking of getting new shoes again soon. Will probably go with NB like I planned, but thought about Shox. However, some of you have said that your experience with the shox on the court was not good. Chime in on this, will you?

I just bought a pair last night. I'll let you know how it goes tonight and this weekend. I think over the three days I have 13 games. I don't know why I triple plus booked myself multiple days in a row (and on a weekend)

I currently wear the NB 888 but I wanted to try a lower cut pair of shoes and couldn't resist the opportunity to get a pretty pair

Shoes are a very personal choice. Not everyone will be comfortable in the same shoes as someone else. You really should try on a pair before you buy in order to really know if a pair of shoes is going to be comfortable, and even then you can't be sure until you run on the court with them. To give a blanket statement that Shox are bad and shouldn't be worn is just silly and should be taken with a grain of salt.

There is a member of my association who has started his own ref shoe business, and these shoes are super comfortable to me: Official Footwear

The lows come in patent and are really sharp. The mid's won't come in patent until next year, I'm told. But they are very comfortable to me. If you have a wide foot, however, you might not find them as comfortable.

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

"Quickness meets power. The Nike Zoom LeBron VI is a versatile basketball shoe for a versatile athlete - LeBron James."

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.
