The Lakers lackluster season didn't help along with the fact that LeBron himself didn't wear them for most of the season.
if the lakers made it to the playoffs he no doubt would have worn these like he wore the sisterhoods in the 2020 nba finalsThese. Are. Straight. Crack

The highs are visually more appealing in design and in shape. That of course is a personal opinion
Lows feel better for hooping, but highs are comfortable as hell.
Exactly.. I’ve been hooping in brons since the 4s.. straight up tanks , hell even had an OG pair of the kobe 1 and those were leather tanks… I’ve never been flat out fast in my life, just quick and the oz don’t bother me… I don’t put on my 36s and think imma be fast cause I’m normally in bronsBack when I played in school the sig shoes you had to choose from were iversons, tmacs, adidas kobe, vc shox, or Jordan's. All of them weighing about 14 pounds per shoe. It's wild to me how nowadays we talk in such specifics about ounces, traction patterns, court feel, react cushioning, phylon, midfoot shanks, outriggers etc. Cats couldn't care less about that in the day it was never spoken of you just wore what looked fly at the time
it don’t work like that for me
Yep same exact thing hereExactly..

All of this. Plus people who care about a few ounces in their shoes probably can’t hoop anywaysBack when I played in school the sig shoes you had to choose from were iversons, tmacs, adidas kobe, vc shox, or Jordan's.

Correct. That's my theory. The more particular you are about the tiniest of details in your sneaks the less likely you are to actually be able to ball most likely. You'll see cats on here swearing this shoe or that shoe doesn't have enough bounce so they can't get up as quick anymore or this shoe caused their ppg to drop lol. Just nonsense. Malarkey. Average Joe's don't need finely, specifically tuned, bespoke sneakers for the ymca. I understand their are preferences and different options for different positions but man...some of the nit picking sheesh!All of this. Plus people who care about a few ounces in their shoes probably can’t hoop anyways
I’m a little older than you because I used to hoop in foams… if you can wear those, you can wear anything to hoop in. DMV area so y’all already know lol

Foams are definitely heavy but the weight would never stop me from hooping in them. Our team shoes my sophomore year were reebok question team edition retros and if you've never hooped in those them thangs are like wearing around 2 toddlers strapped to your ankles. They have like 7 inches of padding. I still did my thing tha-thing so you'll rarely hear me complain about much when it comes to specs of modern performance sneakersI read your post and was prepared to call you a wimp for complaining about the weight of Foams. Because I've played and still play in them and never saw the issue or the weight until...
I said let me go grab a pair and see if I can tell the difference with the weight. First I went to the website below to check the weight of some shoes.

And they are one of the heaviest shoe there!
But I have Foams sitting around so I wanted to see if they were actually heavy.
I moved two boxes and and then picked up the Foamposite box and said "D*MN THIS BOX IS HEAVY"!
I took the shoes out, had the Foams in one hand and lifted several different shoes in the other hand and yes.
The Foams are heavy!
When I put them on I don't notice though.
Lastly regarding shoes weight and cushion corresponding to performance. I'm not affected by weight or cushion but I do know that Steph Curry doesn't like too much cushion in his shoes for performance reasons.
And no, these dude's complaining aren't Steph!
Love the old school black with white toe box and red accent color blocking on these. Hoping to pick up a pair for the super low eventually to wear on the court this winter. Nice pickupLows came in today, I think I’m feeling em more than the mids. They def fit better.
