I have always wanted these shoes since I was a kid. They are at least the greatest pair of Celtic Endorsed shoes.
-
Those are . . . sick.
[Edit. Watch it with the allusions to profanity, please.]

Those are sick. TP for the link. I used to own a pair of pumps, thanks for giving me a moment of nostalgia.
I also used to own a pair of Xavier McDaniels: (though not in the same color of these)

Dave Cowens' felt-green Tigre's that he wore in the mid-70's were the coolest shoe ever worn by a Celtic - they were both unique and great looking.
back then, i had a pair of the low-cut green adidas worn by Havlicek and Russell, a pair of Charlie Scott green Nikes and some pro-keds like Jo Jo's that were black, not green. i was a teenager and i worshiped those guys.

I loved the Danny Ainge/Dennis Johnson Reeboks of the late 80's personally. However, isn't it about time for a green shoe of the early 80's comeback? Rondo has flirted with it the last couple of years.

TP4U DL. Just can't argue with sound logic.

I am no kind of shoe collector at all, but I did have (and kept) the Reebok Pump D-Times*, a pair of the black and white X-Man Xanthus shoes and some red ferrari Fila boots.
*Note that these were not shiny leather when originally released but a sort of velvety fabric.
I agree...best shoes ever. They'll hang in my trophy cabinet.
I had a chance for Dee to sign them with a silver pen but decided against it because I didn't want to spoil the shoes, that's how much I liked them. Don't even regret it.

Nike Shox Elite Jermaine O'neal 2004. Best playing shoe ever.

are u being sarcastic? serious question. if you are serious, its cool, i just never came across someone who would honestly say starbury kicks are the best, especially "ever".

Nah, Im just messing around I have never tried them, however I do think that its pretty admirable that he tried to market them as more affordable shoes. Granted if a guy like KG did the same thing it would alot better received, but ya, I was kidding about them being the best.

I have always thought the idea of "reviewing" footwear, or fashion in general was always a very strange thing, because it really is such a subjective thing. Other than the actual quality of the materials and handiwork, I just find it kind of strange for anyone to review styles like that. You either like it or you don't, and everyone's opinion is different.
I suppose this is a problem with reviews of anything, but for some reason, it always came across as much stranger to me when people review clothes than other works of art (where it is easier to seethe skill of the artist, even if you don't like their style).
edit: sorry for the tangent, this just has always been something that confused me.

A couple other sneakerheads in here...nice. I guess I should've expected it on a basketball forum.
Pretty excited for these to come out in Nov...if I don't get shot in the parking lot.

i know i am in the very low minority when i say this, but im not a big space jam fan. i am on the fridge of copping them this winter. $175 for the cdp mold isnt worth it in my opinion. i am a HUGE fan of the concords though. those and the blk/cement 3's are my favs of any shoe. if i can score a pair for below reatil, which will be [dang] near impossible bc the hype of these is already ridiculous :)
2010 will be a great year with a series of 6's dropping. im more excited about that than the space jams releasing. there is also a rumor floating around that the cement 4's may drop in 2010 as well.

Thought these were a cool idea, the Air McFly, based on Marty's from "Back to the Future 2."

i disagree when it comes to performance footwear, like basketball shoes. i think u can review the materials, support, traction, etc objectively and it will apply to alot of people. i think with regards to cushion or feel, it is more subjective.
the same criticism, as u noted, could be said for other reviews....
-movies
-books
-music
etc
however, with regards to performance products, such as a vehicle or aforementioned bball shoes, a review can be objective and valuable

it is a tribute shoe, not a signature shoe. (although he does collaborations and has 2 albums with meth, redman isnt in wu tang).

The concept of $25 shoes was awesome
I think they were actually only $15 and when Steve and Barry's opened new stores, you could get them for $8 (yes, I actually bought mine for $8). They weren't very comfortable in the heel area, though- so I returned them and got my precious $8 back.
On a related note, I also owned Shawn Kemp's 'reign man' shoe by Reebok when he was on Cleveland (well after he couldn't really dunk anymore) and I also owned Karl Malone's L.A. Gear shoes with the 'catapult' system...
Now I just wear running shoes so that I have better agility (and I am actually an avid player, too)...geez, I guess I am pretty ghetto. :-\

I wore those LA Gears. What god-awful shoes.

I am aware Redman isn't in Wu Tang Clan. I learned about them rather suddenly recently and am still getting up to speed. I'll pm you the story
Also that is an excellent question about the Lithuanian shoes. They're actually Polish that I got at an outdoor market. They have an extra spike in the swoosh and say AIR. They say WBL on the tongue, which I don't get at all. They were black and red. Maybe I'll make a picture for you. This won't be easy.

I have and love these LBJ's

soccer (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/184/436763580_615160ca7e.jpg) I used like 20 pairs of soccer shoes during my life but this one i got in love with puma maradona, even the older latex ones were hard but great for shooting.
Basketball fist shaq shoes, not even the circular ones but the ones before I cant find them. after those I only use adidas mid ankle more confortable.
Not the greatest par of shoes but the ones I rather use.

I think these are the nicest Celt's themed kicks. . . Id kill for a pair of these to be added to the collection.

I broke out my pair of these yesterday for the first time. . . I've been holding out on wearing them for over a year and finally decided it was time.
Cant wait for the Space Jams, if they release the 4's too Ill be in line for those. Enough with the fusions, 6 rings are dope though.

Easy, PF Flyers, cause they made you run faster and jump higher.

the concord 11s in the pic are also retros (from 2001).
in all honesty, i used the pics as a reference, meaning the blk cement jordan 3s and the concord 11s are my favs.....not the specific shoe. og's are better than retroes in all jordans anyway.
