One basketball shoe to rule them all!

[ukball]

NT,

I'm a footwear designer with a simple hypothetical question for you all. If tomorrow the manafacturing of basketball shoes was to cease, and you wereallowed to pick one shoe, any brand, any era, to play basketball in, what would you choose?

And remember this for on-court, not off-court. Though feel free to suggest your all time favourite off-court shoe aswell.

Look forward to your replies.

Prob the ultraposites for me. Though I wanna play in the 23s and see how they fit.

Nice. This answer interests me. Amongst overs. It seems as though you've zigged while others have zagged, ignored marketing, ignored hype...I'd be interested as to why you chose this shoe?

I'd like to hear more. Feel free to explain why also.

Thanks to the guys who have commented so far.

Converse Weapons or 2k4s.

I kind of like the Weapons more, though. Higher ankle support.

What year was the And1 Nsty Crossover btw?

 

[nyzmagician]

The shoe I would choose are the Ultraposites. They are comfy and have sexy design.

I know the OP only asked for ONE shoe, but I would be completely torn between the Nike Jet Flight's, Nike AIR GP (Gary Payton) IV's, and the And1 SilkySmooth's... Gimme any one of those 3 shoes and I'll ball happily forever

Where do you design? My vote would go to the 14s.
