Whatup NT shoe section. It's been a while. I used to be deep into the shoe game about 10 years ago but like all people I eventually moved onto different things in life. However, I saw a bit of Malibu's Most Wanted (

) and B-Rads shoes caught my eye. I hooped in them for a year and they were unbelievable. They were a synthetic almost patent leather and they had a big cover over the laces. Now that I think about it, they looked ALOT like the nu retro IIs. I remember they came in pretty much any color, and a couple NBA dudes were wearing them as well as some college teams. I don't know if you guys remember Kicksology but Professor K gave these almost a perfect rating which back then was how I decided which shoes to buy. Anyways, the only pic I could find was of B-Rad himself rocking them, and you can't see them that well at all, but its the best I could do and I'm dying of curiosity. If you correctly name them I will forever be indebted to you. So take a look, let me know if they look familiar, and have a good one. Thanks.

Damn. Been a while since I've been in the Nike section. How many of ya'll make it out to General?

DAMN. That was easy. Thank you my man. Got me feeling like I didn't even need to type up that small essay. I used to drop like 8 - 10 points a game in these on my middle school squad. My school was purple and my turbines were all red

Coach hated it but it was nothing but swag.

Early 2000's were my heyday for shoe knowledge.

As soon as I saw B-Rad G I knew what they were

Yup Zoom Turbines....one of the super comfiest kicks I EVER owned! Unfortunately mine was bought by my sister a size too big and looked like a cruise ship on my feet!

...So to save myself further embarrassment sold them to my close buddy..... I had these but just like the white/orange above, the white portions were silver

edit:
The all black ones were

...Derek Fisher wore them for a bit back in the day too...can't find pics though

and another edit:

Kobe in white/silver...The year he was a sneaker free-agent after dropping Adidas...
Bruce Bowen in all blacks

..I loved those! And yes Kobe in Concord 11s

One of the best guard shoes that Nike ever made.
