It's sad we've all forgotten what Jordan's are for.

I hoop in every pair of shoes I buy at least once, regardless of price... I even hooped in my OG Is a few weeks ago... Rather those get messed up hoopin thanto get messed up sittin...
 
lol. i wear all my js casual. when they get beat, i then ball in em.....especially my fusion 3s. dont kno y i bought em. but my stealth blue 5, military 4s, nfrench grey 12s are beat 2 da ground
 
Retroes are for casual wear. If I ball in any pair of my IIIs' IV's, etc they wouldnt hold up well at all.
 
I totally agree, but why would you wear your beat jordans to ball in? Their BEAT. For the best performance you should wear them straight out the box. Jordansare great for casual wear but they are still a Basketball shoe.
 
Have you ever heard of TEAM JORDAN brand shoes? They're made for basketball, so you don't have to mess up your retros.
 
I still wear some of my jordans to play basketball and people are always shocked that I wear them and that i'm going to mess em up.
They say Jordans shouldnt be used for basketball lol.
 
tear. Hehe.
Im one of those who wears them. Not gonna let the time pass just to find out i cant wear them anymore because the glue is all gone.
 
This is a great topic.

I remember back in the day when my Jordans was both my hoopin shoes and casual shoes. Now a days, I just don't think the Jordan shoes are as good as sayKobes (my favorite hoopin shoes) or Hyperdunks. They cost a lot less too. Jordans for me personally have been more for casual shoes more than ballin. I mustsay though the CDP XIX feel pretty good hoop in.

You didn't cop them to put them on ice you copped them because they were made for ballin... when you stepped on the court you thought u could really be like Mike.

But these days very few of us rock them on the court or even want to wear them for fear of them getting messed up...
I copped the 2/21 pack a few weeks ago. And like most of you just wanted the 2's but hey can't just toss the 21's... so i decided to hit the gym and play some ball in em... heck get some use out of them... to my surprise these are some of the most comfortable kicks i've balled in since hell i rocked my 3's back in high school...

Damn shame we've turned the greatest basketball player in the world to the new wave Chuck Taylor.
Yeah I know what you mean. I wear all of my jordans for ballin' and i've been feeling the same way lately too.

I agree and disagree because people should use sneakers for what they are used 4 which is 2 wear and playball
but if u spend $650 on a pair of blk/pink Yeezy's then who gives a Fu*k about what people say or think.
4 that price u can do as u please.
 
I have about 75 to 90 pair of retro's and i have only played ball in 1 pair and that was the dmp 11's and they were so slick on the court I would neverdo it again but I have worn Jordan 21's, 22's and 2009's on the court cause they are real comfortable and the 22's r probably the mostunderated Jordan for ballin on the court. 22's r the most comfortable period.
 
i see what your saying man, its not like that anymore. i love to ball in my steels
 
i hooped in my all white 21s until they basically fell apart. then i hooped in my white/red/black 22s until they basically fell apart.. people just havedifferent ideas of what jordans are for.. i hoop in 19+, and 18- i keep fresh
 
there just not made like they were..i mean back then when he was playing they made them good quality because he was playing in them..and they definetly didntknow how big they would turn out to be..personally i think mike make nike what it is today. But now that hes not playing JB just makes them good enought toWEAR and not good enough to play in..always cracking ,paint peeling, yellowing, i mean seriously ..
