I had the 180's in in 8th grade. Fantastic shoe. The dual inflation blew away Reebok the pumps. I have high arches and cranked it up to the max. Would absolutely love a new pair, if they kept true to form.

Maybe that's part of the rationale Nike uses to justify the $300 price tag. But I'd be surprised if that cheap plastic box and flimsy pump cost Nike even $2.00 total to manufacture. The Pressures are $300 because that's what Nike thought the market would bear, and probably has no relationship whatsoever with the cost of manufacturing the product. It's good to be Nike.The pressures cost $300 because of the box an pumps..

I only outdoor hoop in retros.
Mainly because my game is too much for todays soft rubber compounds.
I only ever really have weight complaints if the fit is bad.
The command force 180's the arch inflated, so you will find better arch support than ANY athletic shoe today. That said, the lack of forefoot cushioning could be a concern for some. Yes, the leather basketball shoes of the 90's were hot, but fit, comfort, and support was next to none.
an NBA player can get buckets in any shoe. it doesn't matter. i'm aware that people hooped in chucks, pumas, and air command force back in the day. what i'm saying is that you're feet are most likely going to hurt after you play for a couple hours and there's a higher percentage that you'd hurt yourself. there are tons of other shoes available for basketball today that would provide comfort and more adequate features to protect your body. it's just the evolution of technology. to say it doesn't matter what shoes you hoop in, is basically saying you don't believe in technology. if you're playing a pick up game and these are the only shoes you got on you, then by all means wear them. but if you're hooping on a regular basis, in these, well good luck. also, why spend $200 (i know most of us got these on sale) on these for real life basketball when you could spend $200 or less on something more up to date to provide comfort. these were great in their day, but they're almost 30 years old. if you're a big man, pick up some lebrons or something. or even air force 1s with the lunar sole. i love the air command force. i wear the volts regularly, but never to ball in. just like i'm not going on 5 mile hikes in my air mowabbs anymore. there's better stuff out there.
I look at shoes like the Hyperlive with no cushioning tech at all. Is this 1975? How Nike can charge $110 for a lowtop with a thin layer of foam is beyond me.Some people are trying to use shoes as a crutch for old or weak legs.
Sure I believe in technology.
I also know that a cobra from the 60s still smokes hondas today.
The kobe 11 is not preserving your joints any better than commands.
Nike has literally washed kids into thinking their shoes are far more specialized than they are.
Look at sefelosha.
You guys drank nikes markeying cool aid.
