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.

[Sold] Jordan VI Infrared - Size US11 - Sold

I've sold my Air Jordan 6 Infrared which was worn only once. High cuts don't really suit me, and I don't see myself as a big time collector, buying up all 28 (XX8) versions of the Air Jordan series. I also won't be wearing these for Basketball. Shoes have only been worn once!

Bought these shoes not too long ago from 100% in Lot10. Will be providing the original receipt as well.

Sold.


New Shoe Rack

Finally got 2 new shoe racks and put them up. Now I can arrange my shoes by category. CASUAL, SPORTS and FORMAL:



Kicks Update - Eric Koston 2

My latest pair of kicks is an Eric Koston 2 in armory navy and laser orange. This is my first pair of Nike lunarlon shoes, and I am very impressed with its shock absorbent qualities. Very comfortable and no stress on the heels at all. Its also very breathable and most importantly looks classy! My only gripe is that the shoe is pretty cramp in the toes area. I usually wear US11, and got the Kostons in US12, but still feel a little tight on the toes. Nothing severely choking, I just would have preferred more room here.

Adidas Rom White/Grey

The adidas Rom is one of the oldest adidas models out there, originally released in 1959 to celebrate the 1960 Rome Olympics, but the re-release of the model in 1979 was the beginning of the popular and classic silhouette that we all know today.

Tried a pair at Midvalley, size 11.5UK and loved the classic adidas look. Too bad I already bought a white Adidas pair yesterday, so gave this one a pass, even though it was only rm100.

Kicks for sale: Puma & Asics



As my cabinet is full, I'm offloading 3 personal shoes of mine. Bought all of them this year, either in Jan or Feb '14. Interested? Call or Whatsapp 012-2232711 - COD PJ/KL:

1. Asics H901Y (Size UK10 / US11) - RM110
As you can see, this Made-in-Vietnam pair has been worn a few times. Love the comfort of the shoe, it feels better than the overpriced Onisuka's that are being flaunted around. The cheapest I've seen these shoes are at Berjaya Times Square, going for RM125 (Black with Gold stripes), but they only come in small sizes (I think 7 or 8).

Originally comes with white laces, I bought matching blue Converse laces to make the shoe more "fun". Will include the thick white lace together with the shoe.

The blue stripe on the right shoe is slightly torn, so I'm willing to nego the price a little.

 


2. Puma Beijing 2008 (Size UK11 / US12) - RM150
I've worn this only a few times and have taken very good care of this chilli red Puma leather(?) shoe. The Puma swoosh is off-white suede and I've gotten matching red and off-white laces to go with this pair. Puma is known for their red shoes, and there are quite alot of red Puma shoes in the market, but I haven't seen this pair at shops (and I visit shoe shops ALOT!). This is the only pair I'm selling that is Made in China (also, since its a Beijing model)

 


3. Puma Green Suede (Size UK11 / US12) - RM150
Puma's suede also is a best seller, with this eye-catching and rare green full suede pair. I've only seem them at 1 Puma shop, where the price was RM2xx. I've worn them only a couple of times, and its in tip top condition. If you need more photos to prove, let me know.
