LOCKED - adidas BASKETBALL 2011-2012 - Welcome Ricky Rubio

Wait...am I expected to respond with "that s*** cray"? I guess it is somewhat Adidas related, since Katy Perry has been a part of Adidas' ad campaign. The amount of activity in thread is just insane! If I could chime in on the basketball preference I've always gone with the TF-1000's, I actually love the older ones a lot. With regards to the SNC's, I was incredibly tempted to bid despite them being a half a size too large from my normal size. Just to be clear I didn't contribute to the bidding war at the end. That being said, I would love to get my hands on a pair of T-Mac CW SNC's!!

[quote="bigboi19"]i just love how polite and constructive the arguments in here are made! props to you peeps! :up:[/quote] Probably because everyone here is buying a basketball shoe for its true purpose.

^Oh no... I bought my L-Trains for casual use! What have I done? :lol:

[quote="Shooter"][quote="stevema87"][quote="stabilz"]Just been outbid for SNC ASG :( I bet the winner is in this thread! Btw, after battling with Peach on the shipping and all (they dont ship to my country but I managed to talk to them).... finally...

I lost too..lol [/quote] I saw those too!... And maybe I bid on them too :ninja: I think we just gave the seller an extra 30-40$ by outbidding each other! Haha! Stabilz - nice pickup! Glad they agreed to ship to you :up:[/quote] Yes. I was highest bidder for $82 but outbid at very last seconds (I think about 10 secs left) by the winner. Damn I should put higher bid. That SNC ASG in US10.5 is very very hard to come by. :'( Btw, thanks. Peach really is a reputable seller but the box is meshed up. :D

To me, they are ALL casual - even the sunbeam yellow ME8's i reviewed. I want people to know I am a ballplayer wherever I go, hence me rocking my APH2's with some jeans and a striped polo over the weekend. Might even stick my tongues out tomorrow on them. Next review up - Rose's should be up soon, APH2 written as we speak, and got in some Puma FAAS 800's and ATR's. Also heard today that Spalding is sending some my way the first of April. Still salty about the "no NCAA uniforms for the masses". Frog, if you have any Baylor connects around D/FW, I would be VERY grateful...

[quote="Cuckoo"]hey! just a heads up for those of you who ordered the black/scarlet/white d.rose shorts off eastbay: i got my shorts in and they are NOT the ones pictured on the site. the one that came in today was the black/scarlet cw with the graphics on the sides pictured many pages back in this thread. just picture the ones on eastbay with the red and white reversed and the white has that graphic/digi camo pattern on it. i called eastbay already and they're going to check out their stock at the warehouse to see what the deal is and then call me back. i really hope they have the one pictured on the site because, well, that's the one i ordered and i'm not feeling the one they sent me.[/quote] Agreed. Ordered mine of shopadidas and it was the same deal. Returned them. I love the shorts though. Picked them up in Red and Royal.

well, for whatever you're getting the shoes for, keeping an open mind and making statements that are fact-based helps for a very educational read. hence, we get to arrive to the real essence of the shoe. Proverbs 27:17 New International Version (NIV) 17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. :up:

I did ball-up Quincy Acy back in 2006!

Just picked up the Adizero Speed Wraps, has anyone else had issues with them being incredibly painful on the ankle bone? Is there a way to alter them? PS: Just got some L Trains dispatched to me too..:D

As for me I have no issues on my left ankle, just straightaway wear it without any adjustment.. but as for right ankle, after laced up, I need to adjust the plate to the front a bit and I never felt the pain anymore.
