Shoe Rack - Mar '16

New Kobe X joins the rack. The Asics Gel, Asics clown shoe, red Puma China and Nike jogging shoes had to go into storage.

Kobe X Copped

Visited Mitsui Outlet Park today, after sending my wife to KLIA2.

Copped a Kobe X "Blue Lagoon" / "5a.m. Flight" much below the retail price RM749. With the Kobe XI release, the Kobe X is much cheaper now.

I've been using the Kobe 9 for basketball for about a year now. Its the best balling shoe for me, and I also got it at a major discount.

The Kobe X has both Lunarlon and Zoom for support, while Kobe 9 only has Lunarlon. The 9 traction was designed with Kobe's pressure mapping, while the X is a simple traction, however, it won't last for playing outdoors.

Updated Shoe Rack

OK, enough shoes for now...

Basketball Shoe / Sneaker clearance Jordan AJ3, AJ6, Nike "The Glove", Adidas Rose 773 III, Li Ning "Way of Wade 2"

This is sneaker clearance post. I'm glad to announce that I have found the perfect hooping shoe for the game that I play, which is a Kobe shoe. Therefore I'm unloading my shoes to get a (few) pair(s) of Kobe shoes. All shoes are my personal shoes, size ranges from 10UK to 11UK.

The Jordans were worn twice only, while the other sneakers were used briefly for basketball, but still in very good condition (because I have too many basketball shoes).

Brand: Jordan

Model: AJ3 Sports Blue/Wolf Grey

Size: 10UK / 11US

Price: SOLD

Age: about 1 month (Jan '15)

Condition: 9/10 - Worn twice only

Remarks: This is a Hip Hoop pair that I bought when they released the blue AJ7. Bought because it , was cheaper than the AJ7, which was RM799, and because the colorway is easy to mix and match. MJ won the slam dunk competition with the AJ3.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brand: Jordan

Model: AJ6 White/Sports Blue

Size: 10UK / 11US

Price: RM650

Age: about 1 month (Jan '15)

Condition: 9.5/10 - Worn once only

Remarks: Another Hip Hoop pair that is gorgeous and clean. The white and blue looks sleek and classy and you can't go wrong with an icy sole. MJ won his first ring with the AJ6!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brand: Nike 

Model: Air Zoom Flight "The Glove" - Gary Payton

Size: 10.5UK / 11.5US

Price: RM300

Age: About 6 months old

Condition: 7/10 - Used for outdoor basketball a few times.

Remarks: In my humble opinion, the coolest looking shoes from Nike, this Gary Payton model was made a second release in 2014 in Black and Red. The 1st release a few years ago was snapped up immediately, but surprisingly, the 2nd release did not sell that well. Managed to buy at Hoopstation for <RM400.

This is the most comfortable shoe I've tried, in terms of cushioning support. This came as a surprise, as the Zoom mid sole sole is quite thin, giving the low-to-the-ground feeling. The cushioning around the foot is also amazingly comfortable, and support is great when zipped all the way up. Only problem is the weight of the shoe. I

Brand: Li Ning

Model: Way Of Wade 2 "Announcement"

Size: 11UK / 12US

Price: RM200

Age: 2 months (Dec '14)

Condition: 8/10 - Used for outdoor basketball

Remarks: I have to admit this was an impulse buy, and that's why I'm selling. Love the black and red colorway and the materials quality. 

The Li Ning size is quite strange, as I tried the 11.5US but still couldn't fit the length of the shoe. This is a shoe for a bigger player as the hi-cut shoe support is designed for a tight heel fit while the toe section has enough room for comfort. This is also a heavy shoe, due to the quality materials used. See in real life to appreciate.

Brand: Adidas 

Model: Rose 773 III Turquoise

Size: 10UK / 10.5US

Price: RM250

Age: 2 months (Dec '14)

Condition: 7.5/10 - Used for outdoor basketball

Remarks: Another impulse buy, because of its unique color. This shoe has the BEST TRACTION among all the above. The cushioning is not as good as Nike's Air Max, Zoom or Lunarlon, but Adidas kept the weight down on this pair, making it the LIGHTEST among all the shoes above! Great shoe for quick bursts and driving in the lane.

There are alot of Rose models, but in my opinion, the only Rose model better than this model is the latest edition with the Boost tech.
