funny to see how far Reebok has fallen off the map, as quickly as Allen Iverson's decline in the NBA.

I wear Kobe IV's and Kobe V's. Used to have Hyperdunks back from 2007 I think... they were ankle tops (i think that's what it's called) and kept digging into my heels and hurting. I prefer to lower top ones that just reach the ankles. That's why I would still wear the Kobe V's over the current Hyperdunks and Hyperfuzes.

Have worn Reebok, Converse, Adidas, And1 and even Puma basketball shoes before. But these days, Nike is basketball and Asics for running. :)

"ankle tops" as you call em are retarded. you're just asking for an ankle sprain. i prefer mid tops for ankle protection.

I wear low tops. Don't want to baby my ankles. I'll take an ankle sprain over a twisted knee and the extra mobility.

That list - eh.
Nike owns Converse and the Jordan Brand.
While adidas owns Reebok.
Own as in it's the parent company, not own as in pwnage.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!

I was trying to look through the list to make a casual observation of how successful the players wearing the shoes. I noticed that the list does not exactly credit the number of championships/all star/medals to what a player was wearing on the year they had the achievement. Because I remeber back then,VC complained about Puma hurting his feet, and Payton complaining that Nike caused players to hurt their knees. But of course it is still all about how much endorsement money a company is willing to pay.

I had an experience of hurtng my feet with And1, that caused swelling in the heel. I stopped wearing them and wear mostly Puma Crosstrainers/Nike or Adidas. I have never experienced swelling since then. So I was happy that only 3 players wan endorsing And1. :P
YEAH BOY!

Low top Converse Wade's, had them for like 3 years now. My first pair were And1's and mid-tops, didn't like them. I prefer low-tops, although I play the 4.
