#27TheDominator Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I was going to add Hector. I was the only one that comes to mind that I thought hasn't posted or been mentioned in this thread, but then I remembered he posted about these: Dbatesman or Aten. You have to be a genius to understand their posts. Thanks for the acknowledgement guys! Im honored. I'm a genius! I usually understand DBatesman's posts. I even understand some of Aten's! I'd also like to put in a vote for #27theDominator. Seriously? That guy is a dick.

Gainzo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Has to be LBS. Lil Bit Special tells it like it is and is a Jets fan living in enemy territory.

JohnnyHector Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I was going to add Hector. I was the only one that comes to mind that I thought hasn't posted or been mentioned in this thread, but then I remembered he posted about these: I only referenced them for their comedic value. For the record, I owned the all-black ones with the fake pump on the side that looked like a basketball with '33' in the middle. Never actually played ball in them, because they were horrible. Back then, I wore my Air Force 180 Barkley's to play - the only pair of sneakers for which I ever spent over $100. Now that I pretty much know how they fit, look through the Eastbay catalog and buy whichever Nike's that fit my criteria that are on clearance.

I can't find a picture. They were 3/4 or low - I'm not a big high top fan. That black fake suede and they had the bubble wrapped around the rear like these: but they were different. I'd wonder if they were Barkley's but I'm pretty sure they had 34 embroidered on them somewhere. It was black on black so I didnt' care. My favorites were these: but I missed them last time they repro'd them. They were called Bo Jackson something or other (2 or 3) but they don't call them that now. You're a dorky meathead Not bad. I'd better hit the gym anyway. Just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt39 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Nike sucks. Did you grow up in the 90's? Those Kobe's are ugly anyway. Just like the Antoine Walkers were, and every other Adidas bball shoe. The current Kobe's are probably the best basketball sneaker I've ever had.

The Stan Smiths are probably my favorite. Basketball sneakers in the 90's though you pretty much had to be wearing Nike's. Between the sneakers and the college bball apparel it was Nike and everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Your coolness factor drops by rocking Adidas. I pictured you a Nike guy, myself. What? Adidas are the sh*t. Just ask RUN DMC. Honestly, I've never been a fan of Nike. I had the Bo Jackson's back in the day because I was obsessed with Bo, but that about it. I never liked Nike Bbbal shoes. Never found a pair that fit me right. I wore their cleats...but never their bball shoes. When I was playing hoops, I rocked the Chuck T's when they were brought back on the scene in the 90's. My whole team wore them because we were the Patriots and those shoes were Red White and Blue. Had them for 2 year. Then I rocked Kobe's, most comfortable BBall shoe I ever put on. Through college I had a pair Reebok that lasted forever. And now, for the first time in like 15 years, I just bought a pair of Nike and the first day I wore them...I sprained my ankle. ha!

Adidas never had the basketball shoe game...once Webber and company hit Michigan it was Nike. 94-98 Honestly, my parents didnt have the money to buy me Nike. The only reason I got the Bo Jacksons was because my mom found them on a clearance rack at one of their outlet stores...lol And I truly never found a pair that fit me properly. I've had a size 13 since I was like 14 years old. Shoe shopping for me...sucks. My shoes were based on, what was under 50 bucks, that fit me. So I wore everything but Nike growing up. Those Kobe's, I paid for since I had to work since I was 15. And Adidas didnt have the BBall shoe game, but those Kobe's were the sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had those Bo Jacksons and I never liked Bo. I always thought he was overrated. I'm older than most of you guys. I actually did a great deal of my damage in Puma Clydes and Baskets (with black laces of course). Then I switched to Converse the leather ones, like Julius. I got a pair of white on white cheap and tried to dye the stripe royal like my team, but the dye didn't really take. They ended up Carolina blue and everybody in the neighborhood was jealous. Then I wore some New Balance highs. I still have a pair of 790s in excellent condition. Even with Worthy on board, they were just too ugly and I wore them about 100% of the time for school, work, dates, etc. I switched to Nike because they made the best looking stuff and they fit me, but they were overpriced, so I'd generally have some oddball pair. Adidas never fit me right. I have a pair of awesome patent leather high top clamshell screw-in cleats, but they are so long and skinny they kill my feet. I have too much girth! The only thing of theirs I've been able to wear are flipflops. I've been trying to play in my Chucks again. I did it during the heart of the Jordan craze when I saw Micheal Ray Richardson wearing them in a Euro league game. Eventually they seemed so low in the back they bothered me. Now I have black on black Chucks with raised rubber logo. I had a pair of knockoffs like that with molded cleats I got for $3 from Meyer the Buyer I would kill for today. My grandfather cut the nubs off to wear them to tar the roof(!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 And Adidas didnt have the BBall shoe game, but those Kobe's were the sh*t. FYI they actually just retro'd the Crazy 8's if you missed them that much. Little known fact but Adidas ALMOST owned the sneaker game. Jordan was going to leave Nike for them after the 2's bombed, then Nike hired Tinker Hatfield to design the cement 3's and the story is that Jordan fell in love with them as soon as he walked into the meeting room. The rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
