adidas Men's KG Bounce Basketball Shoe

ran ball in these tonight, and out of the box, they feel soooo much better than any other shoe (at any price) I can remember using in my 30 years of playing. The tongue is well designed, as it wraps over the foot, and down the sides a bit. This helps to tremendously cut down on 'lace bite' on the top of the foot. It also breaths VERY well -- the blast of cool air actually took me by surprise when I sprinted down the court during a fast break!

Another plus is the heel design. Most BB shoes have a short plastic "cup" that holds the heel in place, and the padding is rarely adequate enough to keep the lip of said cup from digging into one's Achilles tendon. The KGs have a very comfortable heel section that has no discernible seam; an invaluable asset in my mind.

The traction is good, the toe box is ample, and the design actually looks better in person than it does in the online pictures.

The sale price on these shoes (if your size is available) is an extraordinary deal!!!
