it's a matter of relative comfort: remember the Chuck Taylor, nike blazers, dunks and all those shoes we wear casually now were technical balling shoes worn by the best athletes not even 40 years ago.
cushioning is NOT universal, and essentially not really a "necessity". it's just because we've been blessed/cursed/spoiled with padded and soft cushioning in the last 15 that we demand it now. but if you're used to hard/little cush, it's definitely not a problem to wear these shoes.
the players don't always wear the same shoes that they sell. theirs are all modified and molded to fit their feet, and with extra cushioning.Originally Posted by bolok

Everyone please check out www.protegemvp.com thats our mainstream site! And watch the Allstar game this weekend for the ad! Mac G the red Stackjacks are only for Jax to rock at allstar but may be released limited some day. Fundamental you are the man!! I respect your knowledge and love the I need to read NikeTalk's rules. that you realize the difference between tech and gimicks. However I have heard the concerns about cushioning and for our next round Bolok I have built up the sock linner double. However in the end the best cushion tech is good eva compound and support shanks. Downtown my man your correct but the only thing different about the guys protege shoes is the colors, they are wearing the same shoes as you. Also you guys have to understand that all shoe companies usually give you the same shoes as the players, however the players wear orthotics and get a fresh pair of shoes each game. Companies like adidas, Nike, Jordan, Reebok etc do have great tech that help reduce weight and shock but in the end if your not 7'1" 300lbs there isnt much difference in player shoes outside of casting and orthotics. I should know i have designed for everyone from Stackjack to Shaq. Yo Jepeh and PGM I got some more designs comin and and I'm gonna get you in some Protege one day!!! By the way Jason a.k.a Mr.2009 I copped them joints and they are crazy! And Congrats Nate you killed it!"
whats the point of buying affordable shoes if you are going to buy $20insoles +taxOriginally Posted by NikeUnlimited
If you think the insoles and cushioning isn't enough for you, buy a new pair of insoles (spenco or if you're lucky and still have the nike full length zoom air ones) and you'd probably be straight.
