However, since files from "Online data" are higher in hierarchy than 'Main folder' there are two ways to get this error:
First, you need to put J's 34 into 'Online data' folder (but this should cause that folder delete itself after run a game at least it happens to me).
Second, you need to put all files from 'Online data' into 'Main folder' and then install shoes from URL.
Try to remove 'Online data'' or restore original shoe_global.iff into 'Main folder' from game files. It should helps.
i nailed it, you nailed it!!
yes, putting default "shoe_global.iff" fixed the issues with those shoes in my game
in my case, i put all "online data" files from last official 2k roster into main nba 2k14 folder, i do it for years! with both 2k14 and 2k13 and never ever had any issues whatsoever! i'm glad we figured it out

@mister no, we are waiting for your answer.
@skoadam, i guess we need to clear something up now - do we need ANY of the files from last official roster "online data" in main game folder? i know they added some new jerseys, some cfs, shoes, etc. and i always put those files in main nba 2k14/2k13 folder as soon as i fresh install the game. now some info and feedback could be useful.
