Was looking forward to these, but hopefully they look better in person cause these pictures look like shit.
All the hot girls at the gym and homeboy shoes up in 15th century clown shoes. SMH
@Shupimp1 @Longstroke @master5hake @1Lance2 @Jay Wicked Lol. I agreed with the OP that adding more stability to a shoe just weakens your ankle, because you are no longer relying on the ligaments and muscles in your feet to stabilize your movements, Instead you are relying on the shoe to control your movements. It was the other guy who went on a tangent, contradicting himself by saying that high tops give you added protection but don't increase the chance of not getting injured. Does that make any sense to anyone? If I told you that a seat belt gives you added protection in a car wreck, but people who didn't wear seat belts had the same rate of injury/death as those who did, then WTF would be the point in wearing a seat belt? Now I was just using that as an example since we all know that seat belts do give you more protection since seat belts wearers are probably over twice as likely to survive or not get injured in a wreck.
@Longstroke @master5hake @1Lance2 @Jay Wicked Thats simply not true. A number of studies have been done and all found that there is no correlation between ankle injurie and the severity of the injury to shoe height. The ACC Conference website says the exact same thing.

Also, basketball (majority of players wear high tops) is the sport that has the highest rate of ankle injuries. Soccer (players only wear low tops) is another sport with a high rate of ankle injuries. This further highlights the fact that there is no correlation between ankle injuries and shoe height, because if there was then basketball would have the lowest rate of ankle injuries

@1Lance2 @master5hake @Longstroke @Jay Wicked Because no one wearing high tops in the history of basketball, football, or baseball has ever rolled/sprained ankle? Plus your example with Kobe makes no sense; he didn't sprain his ankle because of low tops, he sprained because he landed unevenly on someone else foot after jumping.
@Longstroke @Jay Wicked lol. so he is incorrect because one person, who played in Georgetown during the eighties, and had a congenital issue?? That is logic in its purest form. Jay Wicked is 100% correct.
been wearing frees since their inception, but the free 3.0 v4 were the worst pair of nikes ivd ever owned. passing on these and saving my money for the nb minimus hirez coming out in march.
other than being high tops these have the same tech as the IVs. Both have airbags. These have a visible air unit, the IVs have an air zoom unit (which IMO is better since your foot is closer to the ground).
@heat_meiser But KD stated when he first signed for nike that he didn't want his shoes to be over $90 so more people could afford them, because he couldn't afford a lot of shoes when he was growing up.
i will be copping. still want to know whats up w/ jordan sb though.
bout to put my lunar rejuvs on ebay if is anyone interested
i dont know but i think this is a pretty cool design for the ladies
Dope. Glad the dont have a white sole, tired of seeing one on every single dunk

@Jigs I dont know about that, new balance has been leading the game in minimal running shoes. they have been making very innovative shoes with new processes and that are made right here in the usa. that said the highest price nb shoe ive seen is 110 which is less most of the running shoes nike offers
