"Post Your Basketball Shoe Rotation" Thread

I only ball outdoors, and keep my rotation pretty small.

Air Max Elite BG (on their way out of rotation, started getting shin splints in them, even though the bubbles are still intact, probably used them a lot toolong. LOL)
Air Jordan XIX Low
Zoom Flight 2k3 (my favorite)
Zoom Lebron IV (just broke these out last weekend)
Jordan VII Retro Black/Red/Purple
 
zoom phenoms
zoom soldier iii
adidas ts lightspeed, im not sure what it is about them but theyve been in the rotation for a while
 
Quick question to all, do you guys spend a significant amount of money for ball shoes? Or do you usually go cheap? ... btw, anything over a $100 is not cheap

i go for about 75-120 range
if its outdoors only then 50 or under

but usually all are played for one season indoor only then they become "beaters"
 
depends on what I am buying the shoe for..if its a shoe I normally wouldnt buy but am buying for review on the site I try to go cheap.If its something Iactually want then I pay whatever..it always pays to wait unless its some limited release shoe.
 
Depends on the shoe for me.

I'd be willing to shell out more for stuff I really enjoy wearing, like a pair of Zoom Drives.

But I still wouldn't pay a whole lot, and rarely retail or anything close to it.
 
kobe 2 lites - a bit narrow, light n has great ankle support
kobe 1s - all around pretty comfortable,
zoom bb2s - very comfortable
ts creater - cushioning feels good almost springy like
kobe 4s - most comfortable, light n snug shoe i ever balled in

This pictures a few years old, I've added about twice this many more pairs to the rotation. I start by using them strictly indoors only, no street wear, then once a pair starts losing it's traction, I use them for outdoor balling. I really haven't 'retired' a pair of outdoor shoes yet, they just stay getting beat lol.

I've been meaning to update my hooping 'collection' shoes, maybe this thread will inspire me to do so..

Yeah same here! I own 5 pairs of them, 2 are still DS though. They are VERY durable, and the traction on them has held up extremely well!! I highly recommendthem!!

^^^ I usually only ball in nikes clearly but i played in them like 3 times and i love them. Great impact protection and so comfy.
 
AJ XX3 white/stealth
AJ XXII Cdp
AJ XXI

I just returned a pair of Hyperize to eastbay cuz i got them a lil too big but those will be added to the rotation. I'm also very tempted to get some KobeIV.
 
Finally took updated pics of my rotation! Had to part with my 2K3's recently, was not satisfied with overall performance fo them.

Newest acquisition was the Black Zoom MVP's, traction seems a little slippery at first, but once I broke 'em in they held up just fine.
