Word. The shox were so stiff and the forefoot zoom feel dead. The ankle support were mediocre. Nike however did a great job of hyping these upback in 2000 though with VC as their poster boy. The whole Boing advertising was at every Footlocker/Footaction/Champs stores.

Never knew the bb4 had the monkey paw integrated.

I had to retire a pair of those once, too. Considering how much I played basketball in them, they were very durable.

I still want a pair!! that exact colourway actually... when they were first released, I was in grade 6, so my mom didn't buy me a pair. But that'sokay, I rather enjoy them now than before... looking for a size 12!

It's an aspect that wasn't widely known about the BB4's.

loved the bb4....jesus h tap dancing christ, I can't believe these are 10 years old...


and to say that these had no ankle support is ridiculous.

I disagree. I really like the BB4 for ballin...its been a while (ninth grade, im 23 now) but one thing i really remembered was that i felt my ankle was in"good hands."
and as it turns out, they were with the monkey paw...didnt know that

Nice pics. I have the same pair and they're great.

MONKEY PAW!

Wasn't it the FIRST iterations of the BB4 that were terrible and took horribly long to break in (if in fact the shox did soften up for you). I rememberProf K hated them but did a follow up and loved 'em?

the TB BB4's were outstanding from jump.
