Registered Member Posts: 790 01/20/12 6:00 PM	yeah, i thinkpeople forget that nba players wore chucks. you can pretty much play in anything, and yes pretty much any nike basketball shoe and jordan retro can be played in. will they be as comfortable as some of the newer stuff? maybe not, but def can be used. maybe except for the zoom rookies HAHA.

The 3's had no cushion and no grip and the 12's would give me blisters all the time. I then switched to the Kobe V and VI and it was like a miracle that I could now cut without slipping and wouldn't go home with huge blisters. Still wonder how these NBA / NCAA guys wear these retros...they must have custom in soles or something.

Just to name a couple of examples, I would hoop in the Jordan 6's, these retros were made great looking and material wise. As well the 2's have good cushion in them and look fly, so yes I would hoop in these too, (Nate Robinson anyone). If choose not to hoop in my retro J's it's not because they are not comfortable, but because they are for casual and have enough other shoes just for hoop. There are shoes now that are harder on the foot then the shoes way back when and there retros that are more comfy. So just depends on the shoe and the persons foot.

And another thing who are you or I to determine what OTHER people outside of ourselves wear for style or play? Then again most of the hypebeast buy their shoes not because they like them, but because everyone else says they should like them! I rock and play in both new kicks and retros, it just depends on my mood. Period! If it so great why do I see cats wearing retro J's killin cats on the courts where the latest and greatest, most important thing is ones HOOP GAME. Ha! No beef y'all just educating and trying to get people to think outside the box and majority for once on here. Y'all sound them fools in the RETRO () Jordan 10 thread gettin in they feelings just because a dude wanted to buy his J's on layaway (which means one less for the hypebeast to resell for tripple the amount, or sit in their closest for no reason ), do you really think you can just see some body in J's and know if they bought them on layaway or flat out straight or online or the Nike ES, the answer is NO. So we can't say what works for another person playing hoop. Anyhow back to the kicks, on the other hand those Kobe concords/inlines and black/tour yellows are looking more and more nice (just as I stated TOP 2 colorways for the KB 7.

BIG difference.... and I seen a pair of Gary Payton PE XII's from back in the day in person... it is not the same construction as the "public consumption" pairs in stores.... Yes, they were the same. The OG GR XII's were constructed to be destroyed, worn into the ground, hard core build, original lasts and materials. The GR retro pairs were cut down, made more flexible, are there were small differences in weight and construction. The Player Exclusives from that line of that years retro XII were, and are, exactly the same as the GR, outside of the lasts that were used, then perhaps minor materials that do not make a difference in the shoes structure such as the top lace hole. However, they all played the same. It wasn't like if you played in the GR, that you were going to get injured, as what some here are claiming will happen if you play in the retro's of today, especially in light of what happened to Tyreke Evans last year and Steph Curry this and last year, with these newer and high tech Nike shoes, that are supposedly superior. That's just plain rubbish, probably just like their game.
