rico Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Well we are in the "off-season" so we need to find other things to talk about. How about basketball shoes? LOL So some of you know that I played for a HoF coach in HS. He had a rule(well he had many) concerning foot wear. We all had to wear the same shoe. Every year before the season we would have a meeting and the guys voted on what they wanted to wear. Majority ruled. So this was my sneaker array through 4 years of high school. Freshman Yr.------Adidas "Pro-models" Soph. Yr.------Converse "Pro-Star" Jr. Yr.------Asics "Tigers" Sr. Yr.-----Pony* The * represents that half-way through the year we switched to Adidas "Top Tens"..........Pony sucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ColtsIUDomer Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I think we were always white high-top Adidas in basketball - Usually a set would last you a season - practice and games Pony in football- black- we had 'game shoes' which were collected and cleaned after every game, we had pretty much the same shoes for three years! Practice cleats - you supplied your own, though i know our coach secretly bought many practice shoes for low income families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Converse is out of business, right? I wore them because Larry did back in the day. They were actually a nice basketball shoe. My ankles always felt great. I assume Pony is gone too. My wife swears by Asics for working out but I am drawing a blank on ever getting them for basketball. I have been an adidas guy for like 20 years but recently picked up two pairs of Nikes because I liked how they look. I still consider myself an Adidas guy.
