    Since when do we wear hooping shoes to look good in? I love Jordans but they are for basketball, not for styling.

    Even though I did get me some Iverson 9's for basketball saturday.
    do we buy jerseys to hoop in them? i hoop in some of my js but i wear them more with casual apparel. like someone else stated , there are much better shoes to play ball in.
    And with the third pick - I made the earth sick

        two summers ago, i saw an entire midsole just fall off. the guy jumped for a rebound and the shoe crumbled i assumed they were either fake or some 1980 vintage shoe with a soft midsole. I can think you can buy better REAL adidas shoes for 60 bucks, than you can the fakes. There definetly earning 500% profit on those fakes

          I would never ball in a pair of MJs or a authentic jersey. One scuff mark and thats it.

I could see if they REALLY made you a better baller, but there are many better shoes for hooping in. Can someone explain this to me, as I am lost.

            i agree with you, i like shoes, but would never spend more than a jordan on a shoe. but hey, the people that do buy them its a hobby or they are collectors. just like a baseball card, why would you pay a couple thousand for a peice of cardboard? i guess its what people would put value to it.

              I read a report a week ago or so that said that only about 38% of the people that buy basketball shoes use them for balling. The early Jordans were horrible to play in. I ripped up my ankle in the 1's and 3's many times(way back in the day), and the cushioning were garbage too. I stopped buying them because there were so many better game shoes out there.

              They've gotten better the last 10 years or so as far as functionallity goes, but I've become paranoid about wearing them. I would imagine that most people buy them as a fashion statement anyway.

                Most people I know don't hoop in jordans. I don't know why you would pay 120+ for some shoes to play basketball in anyway.

                  Wow.

                  So its safe to say that most of you guys dont own more than 10 pairs of athletic shoes.

                  $120 aint jack....Folks are going out to pay $100+ for Timbs, why? If you are a collector then scuff marks mean something but if you aint a collector, why worry about a scuff mark?

                  I would rather have the Benz (Jordans) of basketball shoes on my feet than the Kia (Shaqs) of basketball shoes.

                    No I own athletic shoes but if I'm paying over 120 for them then I'm not playing basketball in them.

                      I'm over that phase of collecting expensive sneakers. I'd never hoop in them and wore them more as a fashoin statment than anything. If I pay 120 for something, I'm gonna take good care of it and playing basketball in them is not taking care of them. As for 120 bucks being "jack", hows about you loan that to me, I'm pretty broke right now. There are many more usefull things you can use 120 bucks for. Shoes aint one of them.

                        I dont know why not. I got shoes I have paid close to $250 for, they are the ones that do not get any court time.

                        I dont understand why would you pay $100+ to just walk around in them. Basketball shoes are for basketball, use them.

                        Otherwise, youre just stuntin.

                        I guess its just me. When I was in HS, Ma only bought one pair of shoes for the whole year, every year (9th-12th grade). No boots, just one pair of shoes. Living in Chicago, those shoes doubled as boots.

                        Now, I got damn near 80+ pairs. Been reselling some for double the price, so it works out.

                          "Stuntin". Ok whatever, I don't care what you use to play basketball in, although jordans really aren't the best choice to wear while playing basketball.

                            There is no limit when it comes to me and my happiness. If I want the Caddy, Im gettin the Caddy. Of course, if you pay $120+ on any shoe you need to take care of it but use it for its purpose.

                            But folks go out and pay $120 for 2 Xbox 360 games... Then says "I dont like this game" only to let it sit on the shelf, resell it or trade it in for less. How much sense does that make?

                            I guess it comes down to who wastes more money on what. Beats buying kitty...cuz thats def a waste.

                                Good point, thats why I like to consider myself as a smart shopper, especially when it comes to games. Fable changed all of that for me.

                                As for the shoes, do you buy them to hoop in or do you buy them because its a hot fashion trend? If you buy Jordans to hoop in, I'd have no choice but to call you a fool. I can find a nice pair of 50 dollar shoes if I wanted to play ball in them that would feel no diffrent than wearing Jordans. 120 dollars? I'm keeping them forever.
