@@@ REEBOK @@@ SHAQ ATTACKS @@@

I dont. All that fuse and plastic junk is not very supportive. You got players all fatigued and injured moreso now than when the realstuff was used.

The new stuff is just to sell something new

How it gonna take 20 years for nike to tell us shoes perform better without zoom air in the heel? :lol:

@trentbg you and others may not like it but they are Basketball shoes. They were originally made for performance, the retros and new models. I like the old materials too but I do see why the new fuse/plastic is used. The players move faster and are quicker in todays game. They need shoes that complement this. We complain about the price but do we really expect New tech shoes to retail cheaper than years past?

Don't let Nike/JB and the other brands full you, there is nothing revolutionary about using plastic on today's kicks, its just cheap, that is it. Shoes and that is all kinds a shoes including sport shoes were made with leather for centuries, but leather is expensive today and they don't what to spend the money for it. You can easily verify what I am telling you, just walk in to any high end store, Versace, Armany, etc. all the shoes are made with leather, you will never see plastic. So just think, don't let others tell you what is the "new", "improved" and "remastered", pick up a pair of $60 discounted Black/Azure Attaq and see what is quality and what a real full grain leather feels like, I will buy them all day every day and not even look at Nike/JB overpriced product.

Yes sir! I paid $60 shipped for my black/blue shaq attaq's and I was amazed by the quality of the shoe. I've paid almost double if not more on Nike shoes with cheaper quality..smh. Lately I've been cooling out with buying Nike and Jordans. Actually I haven't purchased a air jordan since the Obsidian 12's. It got real lame real fast, everyone wearing the same shoes. I've been leaning more on Puma and Adidas models, too me those are more of a lifestyle brand than Nike and Jordans imo
 
^All correct. I don't dislike JB/Nike, because ultimately it's up to the consumer to wear what they want. Unfortunately, retro Jordan's changed the collection culture to a copycat/mimicking culture to the point where they may have some decent tech in newer shoes, but nobody cares because they're not numbered. Look at that chicks in most of these sneaker photo shoots, 90% of them are wearing retro Jordan's and I've even heard some of them spouting off about the history of each release. 2 things, anyone can Google that gibberish and memorize that. It's different when you watched history happen. Secondly, I don't listen to these spotlight rangers (sorry, it's a military term), when I've got sneakers older than them. I don't mind kids who wears the non-numbered or lifestyle Jordan's, because maybe they just like the shoes. You never know. Hell , I got a pair of Super Fly 3's the other day for free from a Nike Factory store. And for free, they're pretty decent for working around the house. But again, my preference now is Reebok, Adidas, Li-Ning/Peak, Nike/JB. Two years ago it was reversed. Most of us here in the "Other Brands" section have either decided to go against this "new" sneaker culture by eIther expanding or revising our collections. Me, I 've purged a lot of jackassery and re-upped with different sneakers.

I don't know if anyone still looking for the attacks in white but this is a pretty good price if you are ok with worn shoes size 10.5

I got mine for $30 and I love them!
 
Im def moving away from the JB from their ridiculous price considering I'm also from Toronto...Almost cost aroun $275 which is RBK bang for the buck and quality is precise...most of all no f****ing line up as well... :smile:
 
Check your local FNL. We all know about the discounts on Reebok. However some are an extra 30% off. Saw Blasts, Escape from LA Shaqnosis, and Battleground pumps in Nashville like this. With all that, plus military, plus rewards, the Blasts would've came out to like $33. Worth it if your FNL still has attaqs in store.
