fuck kobe

sorry fam, if MJ makes fun of your shoes you dont gotta go at the heir to the throne, so @ ron artest’s cheapos

If something someone says, makes Rose take action, and produce a better product next time, then so be it. Constructive citicism, ultimately, it could be called.

Could have been a joke?, but more than likely not, this is the opinion of alot of buyers of Roses’ shoes, if this is what it takes for him to change them next time, thank you Kobe. Rose will get buyers regardless, but actually receiving the citicism he needs to make a more productive shoe next time, can only be positive.

At the very least, the makers of the shoe catch wind, and make a change, for the better. I really think though his shoe is more about the timing really of the “lightest shoe” contest trend, than an actual well-thought of shoe. The shoe industry changing the fad next year could be a possible change anyways, making criticism a moot point regardless.

Myself personally I used to get the pumps when I was young, and before I played ball always had to pump up the basketball on them, of course so I could jump higher! The sad thing is, is that at first I really thought it had some magical power to make me jump higher. When I found out otherwise, looking back on it and at the time, it was worse than finding out Santa Clause wasn’t real. Simply because once I found out he was not real I received less gifts.

Don’t kill me, but really though when I got older I was always more of an Iverson guy, in the basketball shoe dept. Always trendy, well fitting, and gave good support. Of course, they were not the old school b-ball pumps, but they definately got the job done. I found Jordan’s for some reason not very comfortable, nor did they really support my cankles very well. lol

whenever the hell that is

So I was really excited when these shoes came out.I tried them on and unfortunately they are too narrow for me, but the ankle support is fine. In reality the amount of support on the sides of the shoe isn’t going to determine how likely you are to sprain your foot. You could have steel beam reinforced high tops and could still suffer a sprain. Any time you wear a shoe with a heel you could suffer a sprain. Heck, Rose wears ankle braces on both feet and I bet this shoe was designed with that in mind.

Now, the shoes are what i could call “flimsy” and that may be a bad thing for some, but i bet they would feel really great if you trained in them and got used to the support. Adidas is breaking new ground and people are going to be skeptical, but it doesn’t make it a bad shoe. Kobe is just trying to put down the dude thats taking all his endorsement money.

I’ve worn all sorts of crappy shoes and haven’t rolled an ankle in years. I always wrap my ankles up, learned it from playing soccer. As for Kobe, he’s bound to break shit from anything, he is a ticking time bomb because of age, not any footwear.

i think 3 people sprained there ankle on rose’’s shoe last yr, including rose

Because those are my two fav [current] basketball players… but i like derrick’s shoes better and don’t think there garbage so I’m mad at Kobe for now, i even own a few pair of Derrick’s shoes
