Shox

[lmanchur.]

...anyone heard of this new shoe? Right now, it's only available in the States, but it should be in stores all across the world real soon.. this shoe looks amazing. If you haven't heard of it, check out Nike's web site (http://www.nike.com/nikeshox).

...one question though: Vince Carter is promoting this shoe... I thought he got into an argument with And1 or something and he was suspended from making any shoe contracts, but he's promoting Nike Shox... or was that just me that heard that in my own little world!!????

...anyways, this shoe looks to change the whole industry of shoemaking, like Nike did last decade with Air... has anyone coughed up the $150 for this shoe?... is it any good?:... does it make that much of a verticle difference???

geez!... if it's $150 American, it will be over $200 for me up here in Canada -- a little bit out of my price range!!

Yes, the shox are great shoes. Carter's botched shoe deal was with Puma not And 1. I wear And 1's on the court, i find them to be the best.

[lmanchur.]

Yeah, I use And1's, too!... the shoe just fit amazingly on me like Cinderella or something so I got a pair... they were reasonably priced and I had never even heard of the brand before, but I hear they're a big-name company in the States...

Well, this is about a basketball shoe, but whatever, Marc!!

So Paul, you've tried the shoes?... worth the cash??

[jamesglewisf]

Pretty amazing isn't it. Who would have ever dreamed you would pay $150 for a pair of tennis shoes?

I wonder how much less it would cost if they weren't paying Vince Carter all that money to hawk it.

Well, it didn't really relate to anything basketball in the leagues or the game, so thought it would be better here. :)

...probably still the same amount... in Popular Science, I read that they've been developing this shoe since 1984.. that's sixteen years... that's the year I was born!!!

[iFroggy]

Thats the year I was born also. :)

I feel so stupid. I don't have a clue what shox are.

[jamesglewisf]

A pair of basketball shoes.

[jamesglewisf]

I wouldn't have know if I hadn't seen the commercial about 10 times in the past couple of days.

[Wedge231]

Basketball shoes huh? Must be one of those really expensive ones that cost like $5 to make.

[Marc]

And are made in Kathy Lee Gifford's sweat shops over in Asia. :D

[lmanchur.]

LOL!... good one, Marc...

Wedge, check out the link in my first post for Nike's Shox web site.
