When it comes to kicks, I’m a simple man. I rock sneakers and hard bottoms, but I like my shoes to be 1 color.. Usually.. When I feel like living a little, I’ll pick up some Nikes or Adidas with 2-3 colors.Back in the day, when I could still play a little pick-up ball, I liked ballin’ in these the most. Now that I’m old and fat, I’m not gonna be ballin in anything, so I just like looking at the shoes and talkin ish.

LeBron James:
Nike Zoom LeBron V
$140

Stephon Marbury:

Ben Wallace:
Starbury, Big Ben
$15

Stephon Marbury and Ben Wallace get the most credit because of the affordable shoe movement, and D-Wade scores the lowest in the design department… And Nike needs to come out with a new ad campaign, “Just Joking”, with those f’n prices.I didn’t put up the KG, Duncan, and Billups shoes because they’re in the Brotherhood, so all of the shoes are basically the same.

For the record, I would rock the Melos and the Kobe IIs (preferably in all black), but not the Kobe IIIs.

    i seriously should become a shoe designer (i have extensive knowledge with illustrator anyways) because those shoes look ugly as hell ,except for the starbury’s, which is a real surprise to me.

    LeBron’s shoe is getting better, but Melo’s Jordans have been the best the past three years!

    I am going to go with Ben Wallace. His shoe looks good enough, and i can buy a pair for me and every member of my family and it is still cheaper than everybody’s but Stephon Marbury’s

    A lot of these basketball shoes are ughh anymore. They are just ugly. The only thing on that list I would wear the KB’s and maybe the Melo’s. They just aren’t stylish anymore. Back in the day you were a buster if you didn’t have the latest pair of hoops, but now people look stupid wearing a lot of these sneakers in public. The ugly shapes and colors, it’s just not fashionable anymroe. There is a reason the Dunks and AF1’s are still number 1, it’s not because it’s a great shoe, it’s because it’s simple and stylish. Now I know they can’t see these in performace, but that’s not what we’re discussing here.

    i think the t-macs look the best, even though im a die-hard nike fan…melo’s are a close second, kobe third…but definitely not the III’s. those are f’in ugly.

    Sorry, but my money will always go to New Balance shoes. Well made, very knowlageable sales staff with the personal touch that is missing in the larger cookie cutter chain stores.
    Running, sports or walking shoes - Go with the best made, not the flashy name of the month….

    The best looking shoe you showed was the Big Ben and I have to tell you I buy son any shoe he wants and when he chose the BB I was shocked! I got all 3 for him and he wears those more than his other more expensive jordans, KG’s and melo’s.
