Recommendations for larger guards?

[setshot50]

Wow, it has been a while since my last post on here. Guess you could say I am one of the OGs of NT. I see quite a few recommendations for small, quick guards and for larger forwards and centers but few for us big guards. As I said, I'm a relative dinosaur compared to most so alleviating potential knee and back pain are first concerns. I'm a 6'3, 200lb combo guard that likes the outside but will occasionally delve into the lane. I had two pair of the AM 360 but they have all but run their course and I am in need of a new battery of shoes. I thoroughly enjoyed the cushioning of those shoes and the stability they gave but am open to other suggestions.

Please allow me to recommend the Skyposite. Colorways are awful, but the shoe is great. Much better for ball than other posite models. I love em, very comfy and supportive. I got mine on ebay for $65, maybe you can do the same. Runs true to size.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have to say that is one ugly shoe, though I could certainly tolerate looks if it performs well. The review on Sole Collector was pretty harsh on them, with NDP saying he couldn't even get through two wearings of the shoe.

Thanks for the suggestions. What exactly are those models?

1. Adidas TS Pro Model
2. Nike Blue chip II
3. Adidas TS Commander LT

Edit, Oh yeah,  these too

TS Supernatural creator. I took them for a spin tonight. BTW, I am six four, two fourty eight. If these can handle me, they can handle anyone.

I would avoid the blue chips II

My feet felt sore after using those, plus they wear out easily.

I am looking at a pair of the TS Supernatural Creator as a possible add to the rotation. I have heard similar issues with the Blue Chip IIs. I can't say I'm a LeBron fan, so the VII PS would have to be an exceptional shoe for me to go with (especially with that lion's head on it).
