Doesn't sound like it was the shoes fault..Originally Posted by clkru
Just sprained my ASO "protected" right ankle pretty severely in the MVPs and have to bow out from giving them further praise/trying to cop all colorways as a result. I was crossed up, too, and did not injure myself by landing on a foot or anything.
Back to balling in mids ONLY once I heal (even if the only added support I get from a mid may be entirely superstitious)...

I've been crossed up before and have never sprained my ankle as a result, so... it may or may not be the shoe's fault, but I'm staying far away from lows from here on out.
So what happens when you inevitably hurt your ankle in mids?Originally Posted by clkru

You may need to speak to Mr. Bryant. He may have a product to help you.
do the gr white/black orange come with orange laces like in the eastbay picture?
No... they come with the black laces like Nash sports...

No offense....but your reviews on this shoe have been very emotional. One minute they are the greatest thing and then you suddenly want to burnthem.Originally Posted by clkru
"If you would D up and stopped getting crossed so much the likelyhood of turning an ankle greatly reduces.
people always just seem to need a scapegoat."
From my standpoint, I think you're dead wrong. The low cut and lack of ankle suppot of shoe led to my ankle injury. I've been crossed up before, and have never ever ever ever had an ankle sprain occur as a result until I worse these MVP's. I had ASO's on, too. I have sprained my other ankle coming down on someone's foot before, but have always had the mid cut/ASO protection against having my ankle broken down by a quick dribble.
I will never go near a low for ball again, and as a result, will never go near a crossover ankle injury again. How am confident in this? I am 26, have been balling competitively since age 8 in mids, and have only ever had 1 crossover ankle injury. This injury occured in the low-cut MVP's last week.
I'm going to pick up the Jumpman Elite 1 as a replacement for my MVP anklebreakers this weekend... probably be a month until I'll get to try them out at full speed.
