 release a white colorway like this Westbrook pair!
 
it really is starting to P!SS me off that JB constantly releases one trash CW after another, and then once in a blue moon releases something halfway normal looking and we all OOOOHHHH and AHHHHH over it because we feel so lucky to get a great shoe that also happens to not look like one of Rosie Perez's old dresses from the 80s. MAN

*to top it all off MY DA## anger emoticon wont work either. How'm I suppose to express my ragin?

Hey just out of interest do u notice any difference in traction with the breds and the all stars? how does the transparent sole fair against the white in terms of grip?

I haven't hooped in the ASG yet but I can give you a comparison between the bred and the xmas(which have a milky translucent outsole). I have used both pairs on fairly decent indoor gyms. The xmas was perfect right out the box and traction is still perfect after about 8 hours of play time. The solid rubber on the bred surprisingly was a bit slicker at first but after about 3 pickup games they broke in nicely and are perfect as well.

I will say this though. As long as the floor being played on is decent, either rubber will suffice. If you play on dustier floors go with solid rubber because translucent will attract dust faster. It is also more difficult to clean because the dust will stay on the sticky translucent.

yea im still breaking in my asgs but i wondered how the white outsole does, very different shoe to the lebrons or kobes that forefoot zoom bag takes getting used to. Its good if your going at it slashing and going to the hoop but for jump shooting i find it throws me off balance a bit its far more protruding than the melo m9.
 
I'm giving up on these, at least the pair I have in my normal size.  Just ain't working out for me.  I can't play how I usually do while wearing them, I'm always a step slow.  Going down half a size might help, but they just don't match my game.

On top of that, the left shoe is still bothering me where that carbon fiber piece extends up from the footbed.  Hopefully, I can work some kind of return/exchange magic.
