I am 6'2'', 200 lbs with a medium build. I wear a size 13.5-14 and have flat, medium-width feet. I don't play a specific position, exceptthat I am always on the perimeter. I don't play "lockdown" defense or consider myself to be a "slasher"...I come off of screens a lotand usually find myself playing Phoenix Suns-style defense.
I'm definitely not the quickest guy around, so I'd like something that is relatively lightweight and has excellent traction and court feel to help meout as much as possible. I also like some substance to my shoe. Shoes like the 2k4 and hyperflight just don't feel safe to me. I am leaning more towardNike because I like zoom, but I'll consider Adidas if that is considered one of the best options. Reebok and Converse are dead to me.
I know some people will tell me to go to a store and try shoes on to see for myself, but finding a 14 is rare and a 13.5 is near impossible. For somereference, I have listed some shoes that I've tried in the past that I liked and disliked.
Liked:
Lebron II
AJ XIII
AJ XVI
OG Answer IV
Disliked:
Adidas Pilrahna (Horrible court feel and made my arches hurt.)
VC IV (Bad court feel and couldn't get a good fit. Felt like a knock-off shox shoe from k-mart.)
Zoom Drive (Too narrow. Otherwise, an exceptional shoe.)
Zoom Generation (Too much movement both front to back and side to side.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
