I need new shoes. Anyone have any favorites?

I got some airmax 180s from Nike. Besides the air busting and getting them exchanged they have been very nice. My knees are thanking me. If you know your size, you can buy from ebay.

I have some Nike Shox that I really like. I'm not sure of the specific style identification, but they do have the little spring thing on the heal. Very comfortable.

My favorite basketball shoes right now are the Kobe 1 Zoom. They're like the old Hurrache shoes of yesteryear like Pippen wore. They are super light and work great. So great that I have 3 pair. They had them at the Nike Outlet at Park City for under $40 in about 5 different colors. I have also seen them at Nordstrom Rack for the same price. Not bad for a shoe that was $100+ a few years ago. You can find them at eastbay.com here:

I have about 6 pair of basketball shoes right now. Some old school White/Gray Penny Hardaway's, the KG's, some Air Max teams and then the Kobe 1's. The Kobe's by far are my favorite.

Also, the old Kobe's by Adidas with the sole that looked like a footprint are some of the most comfortable shoes ever. I think the T-Mac's also used the same sole. I was always afraid of rolling my ankle in them but they were amazing. I wear active ankle braces when I play anyway.
