Preach my dude, preach.  Now you got kobe's ripping in the middle of indoor pick up games.  I dont even want to think about what would happen to them outdoor.  I remember I used to play basketball, football and tennis in my Jordan XIIs and they lasted me like a year.

Wow I was just thinking about starting a post about the best era every, and hands down no one can disagree or argue this
THE 90's

 (Jordan, Penny, Pippen, FAB 5 (all the shoes they made even more famous), Barkley, David Robinson, Jason Kidd, Zoom flight 95 and 96, Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders and Ken Griffey's shoes, even Grandmama Larry Johnson Converse CONS, Kobe's Adidas, Dee Brown Reebok pumps, Shaq's first few Reeboks, even the Ewings, and even more that I haven't mentioned) were the best.  I know there are a lot of you young cats on here, but all the shoes (OG or retro) that everyone is STILL looking for on eBay are from the 90's.  Now but I have to add one from the 80's (aside from the Jordans of course), the flight 89, no one can say anything bad about this shoe.  Dang now that I am posting this comment I seriously miss grade school and high school days from the 90's and the NBA on NBC!  The other sports as well.  Anyhow I think ya'll get the point.  Just so we are all CLEAR, this is NO diss on this post, just droppin some knowledge.  There were some good shoes from the 2000-2005 era, but it is not the "Golden Era".  Peace.

Well...Basketball shoes are meant for basketball right?  And a lot of the basketball shoes COULD be worn casually.  Lebron and Kobes are always being worn casually because of the nice colorways they come out with.  Even Hyperfuses and Hyperdunks can be worn casually.
