Jus wondering what yal do out there.
For Bball I like to have a rotation of about 3-4 kicks then maybe a new pair 4 months down the road.
For running it was a judgment. When the cushioning would feel flat I would get a new pair of runners.

What about yal?
 
I used to ball 3-5 days a week on the black top and I would end up having to buy a new pair after about 3 months. It sucked, but was worth it! I just love this game!
 
Once a month. Not because I need to, but because I get bored and always want to find something "better"...
 
I rotated between white/blk and white/red Air Jordan 2011s last year. so far in 2012 I've worn Huarache 2K4 iDs and just today broke out my white/red Air Max Sweep Thru for the 1st time. I ball at least once a week.
 
I get new shoes for indoor basketball once or twice a year. I play 1-2 times a week indoors.
For outdoor basketball, I have to get a new pair every few months (I wear 'em until they're trashed, rotation of one). I play once or twice a week outdoors.
 
Rotation is about 5 deep on basketball shoes. If it's a steal I'll buy it right then and there, if not though I usually wait for outlet pickups.
 
i try to switch before i dog one pair too bad. so its really no set time. depends mostly on how well a shoe holds up
 
Not often, but then again i don't hoop much anymore. Started playing football again. Hopefully my vapors last a while. Would love to get cement 3 cleats. Still kicking myself for not getting at least one pair of each

I play like 3-4 times a week, always indoors. I wear the same shoe every time for around 3 1/2 months then get a new one.
 
Indoor shoe to ball in? I probably buy once or twice a year then it becomes my outdoor shoe. Which I make last til my indoor shoe gets the boot.

Although these past 2 summers ive been using the Lebron 7 PS. They are BEAT, absolutely no herringbone or whatever pattern used to be on the bottom, but they are unbelievably comfortable and obviously since its outdoor, still gives traction.
 
too often

I ball 2-3 times a week indoor and I have about 16 pairs in my rotation with many more ds.
 
Wear them until they get worn out and buy new ones... encourages me to play more. I play soccer though so I have a shoe for every surface (turf, grass, indoor)
 
i only ball in the last year joints. so i normally have bout 6 or 7 hooping shoes in rotation. Then I wear the recent releases very lightly.
 
i run and last year i blew out my knee. when i went to the dr, they asked me to bring my sneakers with them and told me to throw them out immediately and get new ones. 3 months per shoe for running.
 
probably once a year after they start getting bad, although i always wanna buy new bball kicks cause so many different ones come out each year
 
Today is the first time that I actually got a shoe for a specific purpose. I referee basketball and was in need of some all black shoes. Before I was just using some beat up Huarache 2k5s but hit up my outlets for some blackout Kobe Vs.
