I just ball in one pair and im thinking about retiring my others.

But anyway i ball in:

AJ XII (Black/Red)

Sometimes ball in but soon to retire:

AJ XVIII (White/Red)
 
^^ that's actually a good question. for me the answer is I'm not completely happy with any of them. the new balance are sturdy, solid kicks but Iprefer lowtops. the and1's are light and have great traction so I use them on less pristine courts but they a little narrow and minimalistic.. my feet gettired if I ball too much in them. the aj xx feel the best but are a little small (i bought them that way thinking they were leather and would stretch,they're not).

ideally I'd ball in just one pair that fits and performs the best. probably the reason i have multiples is b/c that shoe has been hard to find lately. lasttime I was completely satisfied with a shoe was 2002 and then the stupid air bubble popped.
 
For me it's because I like trying new things, seeing what's out there.

It's getting to be a bit much though, so I'm slowing down. It also helps to have the BB low line, because those do it for me.
 
i really only play in my adidas decades and my bb 2s. i wear the lebrons more for casual and sometimes to the gym when i want to shoot around but ive neveractually played a game in them.
