I remember my brother wanting to wear chucks to play pickup one day. He ended up sliding all over the court, idk what he was thinking lolI didn't owned these but I played basketball in Chuck Taylor before..
These are up there for me. Had them in white/blue. The back end was so tough I still remember it jamming into your achilles. RIP if you wore no show socks

LMAO, I remember that Real Sports segment he had on HBO where they compared one of his shoes to the Jordan 20. He fooled a few people with that segment. My mother included
Somewhat off topic but the place that sold them out here, Steve & Barry's, tried to advertise them as a BAPE basketball sneaker. Had poster of Nigo and all that and tried to say cause both shoes had stars on them they're the sameI remember I had a pair of starbury's
My brother said they look like shadow(from sonic) shoes.

You've got to be on something. The ultraposites were one of the best basketball sneakers Nike ever made. I would kill for a pair to ball in again.
Now the zooms below weren't bad but my problem with them was that the base was too narrow so it felt like you were about to roll your ankles. I remember NT raved about them when they came out and were probably some of the most popular pairs to ball in around that time frame in 2002 and 2003.

Yeah **** was hilarious, Steve & Barry's was actual a solid store with a bunch of throwback college and pro sportswear. They also had a ton of WWF and Marvel comic clothing. But they were tripping with that BAPE ****. I mean it was a legit fedex print out in black and white with nigo holding a pair of BAPESTA (AF1) right next to the Starberry cardboard cut out. Me and my brother were in tearsyo. I never heard of that .

Thinking the exact same thing, I might be in the minority but the CB34 barkley's were comfortable as ****, just waiting on the current retro to go on sale before I grab them again.

I have a thesis to write about. Sorry to say this, but I'm happy I've found someone who can share this pain.
One day I was at the library and my friends hit me up to play ball. I was wearing these shoes so I decided why not. I'm literally dying after a game. Both my big toes are in so much pain. That toe area is super hard in that shoe. I keep playing for a few hours and the next day after waking up my two big toe nails are sore as hell. Gradually after a week my big toe nails are blacker than black. Toe sore for a week. After a few months my toe nails fall off and they grow back all disfigured.
Basically months later I'm at the library again and friends ask if I'm down to ball. I'm wearing my Kentucky pair again. I chalk up the first instance as an outlier since I've played light games in them before and not had this issue. Same thing happens and my toe nails turn black and fall off.
This is probably two years ago and my toe nails are still messed up, but they're looking better. I've had to double sock to play after this making my feet sweat like hell. My mom was convinced I had fungus and wasn't washing my damn feet properly. Others see my toes and think I'm diseased.
Still love how the shoe looked and they were super comfortable just walking around lol.

Yup. Scooped up a pair for $20 with my Nordstrom discount.
I have a pair of Varvatos chucks and the chuck 2's are like 8 times more comfortable. That second pair of shoes he posted were a beastly hoop shoe with full zoom and great traction. They were a pair in the *** to get on but once they were it was time to give dudes the buckets.

These might be the most comfortable shoes known to mankind. Maybe too comfy.

They were pretty popular back in the day but I don't think a retro would do good today

I may be mistaken but I thought the Flightposite 3 was supposed to be a signature for KG, but he left before they dropped
