Ok, bear with me, Ive never done a review before.....
Just got home from running 2 hours of pick-up ball in my NIKE AIR 3saka GARNETT 3 and I must say these are one of the best shoes I haveworn in years. (Background: I run a heavy rotation that includes -LeBron VI, Kobe IV, Huarache 2k5, Zoom MVP, Air Penny II, Zoom BB I,Kobe I and some scattered retro Jordans - I also have the OG KG IIIs).I am an old-timer, with lots of mileage, and a few aches & pains,but I still love the game. Been ballin for a long time and have always been into kicks.
As good as I remember the OGs - in fact, these are BETTER! Thecushioning is sooooo nice - I wish I was better with words to describejust how nice they feel on your feet- zoom in the front and max in theback - I don't care that they don't have TUNED AIR.
Fit is true to size and traction is excellent. The tongue is wide andvery padded, wrapping around the top of your foot for extra comfort.The outer material is soft but structured, giving you a firm but yetflexible feel to the shoe. Very nice right out of the box, no break intime. I really like how the top of the shoe seems to mold around yourankle, no odd-shaped or bulging tongue.
Seriously, these are as nice a shoe as I have ever worn. If you ball,you owe it to yourself to at least go to the mall and try them on. Andas the price continues to drop on these(got mine for $80), you willkick yourself if you don't pick up at least one pair.
Hope this helps someone and if you have a question, please ask, and I will try my best to answer it.
