You are going to get a lot of hate mail.  What were you thinking?   |

| In my opinion, the ZK1's are MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better looking than the Wades. And most importantly, they perform better. |

Are they designed for maximum ankle support during free throws?

As soon as he put one on, the refs called a foul on his mom

Have you figured out how to fall down 7 times and get up 8 times yet?  |

Converse hasn't made a good shoe since Chuck Taylor was their pitchman. Prepared to get the black marker out when the color starts chipping away in a week and I hope it's not raining anytime soon over there.

That's the beauty of the shoe. It actually has the ability to fold space and time around that 8th fall so that it never actually existed, allowing you to get up more times than you fall. The downside is that you've created a hole in space-time, which is why every pair comes with a Q.A.H.S. (Quantum Automaton Hunger Sentinel). It's a species of artificial intelligence that devours holes in space-time, thus removing any possibility of a future paradox. Its beauty is in its simplicity: it's programmed to believe they're actually donut holes.

| The only thing that matters about basketball shoes is are they comfortable and do they have ankle support. If all you care about is looks, why don't you just wear Air Force 1's to play basketball? AF1's were suppose to be basketball shoes in the first place. |

seriously though i just played with them for the first time. no Fing traction. you can't really tell that in footlocker but playing in door someone was posting me up and i was literally sliding backwards i had no grip on the ground. but at least there's ankle support for all the times i'll be falling.

Yeah well what do you expect from a pair of shoes endorsed by someone who spends half of the game on the floor, grimacing and crying foul. |

Come on... I heard each new pair of Wades come with a free authentic NBA referee's whistle that you can have in your back pocket every time you drive the lane.
