What I am gonna say here might not be popular, and may even get me flamed, but here it goes.....
.. I copped a pair of these to ball in, as I liked the way that they looked. They are a really good hoops shoe, but the upper is of the same quality as the Starbury's. The only difference between...
Another NT truth....if you dare disagree with someone about a shoe of lore, best believe they will don their "mod" cap, then suggest that you "move on".
This is quite comical because if one would take a trip to the Jordan section, daily, for the last several years, predictions of JB's downfall...
There are several "Nike Talk" truths Clutchshooter, and here are a few.
The ZK1 sold well...
Gentry is dragging Jordan Brand down...
The Ultraflight is one of the best ever...
The Ultraposite is one of the best ever..
Outside of Niketalk, NONE of this is true.
The ZK1 flopped like a fish out...
"Are YOU his spokesman?"
I don't have to be, Kidd didn't like the shoes, he didn't even wear them in game play, that's enough. Someone else mentioned the "rumor"*, that I know to be fact. If they worked, he'd have them on.
"no one is impressed"
Hey, if there is a post asking if a certain...
"He didn't say it was perfect now did he?"
Are YOU his spokesman?
Bottom line, if something is considered Top 5, especially with the history that NIKE has, it'd better be damn near perfect.
Maybe some of these "experts," should preface what they say with, "from what I have worn".
Kidd was...
Can't prove anything, can you?
This is what you said AIR 96st,
"Top 5 best Nike basketball Sneaker ever", correct?
If it is so good, why does it need ANY improvements?
You don't even think it is that good yourself, so you even posted your battle plan.
Whatever man, because if Nike...
What Nike designer came on Niketalk, then said that Foam molds are too expensive to make? Since it is supposedly public knowledge and this person came here then said this, either put up the link, or quote the source.
"Majority of owners of this shoe Love it."
Again, prove it, quote your...
"Different strokes for different folks."
No doubt. However In the case of athletic equipment, people will naturally gravitate toward the most reliable, and best. Since this shoe did not sell well, and then it wasn't fully embraced by College or NBA players, or even rec players, I don't think...
nkw11,
Obviously I cannot reveal my sources, but those sources are quite reliable.
On your statement about why it is that "performance" basketball isn't doing well versus Retro, I think that the biggest problem is that people on Niketalk don't seem to understand that Retro shoes, used to be...
"It's a special case."
But at what risk? In regard to Jason Kidd, I found out that he hated the shoe. He said that not only did his feet "hurt" after wearing them, but his back hurt as well.
It's just like the NBA putting out that new ball. How are you gonna put something like that into play...
There are several shoes that many consider to be NIKETALK legends, and the ULTRAPOSITE is one of them.
If a shoe is CONSIDERED, or THOUGHT to be a great shoe, it will be produced not only once, but as Nike has proven, multiple times, with many colorways. This has NOT happened with this shoe...
Some of those look cool, but coming from an adults perspective, I could not wear something like that. I don't rock Jerseys either, but I could see these looking very cool on Kids 15 and under.
Just as Chris Chicago suggested, finding out how well this shoe has done in sales, will go a long way in detemining whether or not anyone outside of the sycophantic Kobe supporters here Niketalk, actually cares about this shoe being on ID.
I'd be willing to bet that nobody outside of here gives...
The prediction of these shoes doing well due to them being on ID, is a bit premature. Also, I don't like Black and Red shoes. I am quite sure that since opinions on what looks "hot" are subjective, I am very sure that I'm not the only one who feels this way.
It's good to read that Kobe's...
