whats up fam
been in the shoe game for years, and i mean years.... anyway, i have been playing consistent organized basketball for about 15 years now. when i was a kidmy mother would let me choose one pair of brand new shoes of my choice for each upcoming season. i have played in OG jordans, pennys, nikes, etc...
personally i used to swear by the garnett 3 as the best on court shoe (used them my junior year in high school)...

in college, the jordan bred xiii was the best thing to ever happen to me on the court...

don't get me wrong, the huarache 2k5 was pretty awesome and there have been a lot of others not mentioned. recently i was able to pick up some nike zoomflight 96's on ebay for around $50. i remember these back in the day but never got a chance to play in them. i figured i would buy them and just use themwhen i play on a outdoor court or for overall beaters.

i gotta say though... i have played in these about 3 times now and i think these might be one of the most comfortable shoes i have played in since the XIII.the grip is shaky at times but overall i really dig these ( i even had to order 2 more pair off ebay the other day)
just wondering if anybody else has found "diamond in the rough" type shoes for playing ball in. it's a good lesson to the up and coming shoeheads that the price tag on the box really has nothing to do with its performance
