Reebok Ref
 
So far the Reebok Ref shoes have been great for me. No shin splints, knee pain, hip pain, etc... Really like the look as well, have Reebok NFL Thorpe for football, and will be ordering Reebok Magistrate Plate shoe in black/black in about 2 weeks. Reebok has been great for me.

Sorry to bring this one back to life but Sears has the New Balance 608AB on clearance sale for $50.
I think these replaced the NB 606. I loved those shoes.
I picked up a pair yesterday. I like them much better than the newer 608V2.

I went with a pair of black New Balance cross trainers with insoles from Sports Authority and I have been pretty happy with them.

Well since you asked....

I am also wearing the Air Max Dream's this year:Ch... Ch... Ch... Check 'em out!

I had the pair of silver and black that I wore casually and loved them so I decided to grab myself a pair for the season.

Currently on sale at Eastbay for $79

Asics Gel-TRX Black/Black. Got 'em at endless.com but if you google asics gel-trx there are a number of sites selling them. They are a cross trainer by Asics and I love them I bought two pair. The only problem is I gotta shine them after wearing patents for five years.

There have been quite a few guys down here in Texas picking up these Nikes that REALLY look good on the court, and are currently on sale!

re: shoes
 
Picked up another pair of air max 360s, which is what I really wanted. This will be year three for me wearing them. These are nicer with a strip of patent leather from the toe along the sides and around to the heal of the shoe. I use one of those instant shine sponges to dress up the top.

RefAHallic, I would be careful about those shoes. I don't remember Nike officially coming out with that color which means they may not be authentic. The fakes are hard to spot sometimes.

I have the shoes the OP referred to and I haven't worn them; I might wear them tonight. Yes, they cost a lot of money, but my feet are worth it and I will claim it.

I guess I'm one of the few officials who generally likes to wear basketball shoes while officiating...basketball. My favorite shoe ever is a high top Air Max 360 (Stoudamire's shoe) that isn't produced anymore. I don't care for the look of the New Balance running shoes, but it is a personal preference thing.
