Pinaghalong J4, 6, & 13 yan ah.

 

...you forgot to mention bout the laser cut design! (first from 2k4 laser cut huarache, lebron 2, jordan XX) the weave near the ankle is from jordan XVl, theres also the shoe string notch from jordan Xll

not to mention patent leather use(from jordan lX and Xl)

 

saw the shoe, the laser designs are jordan shoes in progression(i think?) :rolleyes:

Ilabas kaya yung ganitong colorway ng LeBron2 dito sa Pilipinas?

 

 

meron na sa mga nike stores... last week pa ata... nikepark, nake forum, nike stadium...

 

personally i like the white gray better... kasi mas may buhay ang laser designs....

 

pero ok din yung black if you like it plain and simple.. di masyado makita ang laser designs niyan e... so it beats the purpose of laser etching... sayang e.. parang binalewala nila yung laser etching.

Nung kumalas yung outsole & midole ng Adidas Promodel 2G ko ginamitan ko lang ng Mighty Bond. Ayos din naman & di na kumalas ulit. Yung adhesive na sinasabi mo yan din ata yung ginagamit ng mga dentist, yung friend ko kasi he uses an infrared gun when doing assembly of dentures.

 

ayus sana ang mighty bond e.. but the thing is.. mighty bond gets brittle thru time.. so thats not good.. ok sana yung adhesive kung mataas ang elasticity... ill check with my dentist friend if may idea shya sa mga adhesive na sinasabi mo.. thanks Doc.

Oo nga after several months kumakalas ulit yung dikit & I have to reglue it again. Pinagtyatyagaan ko na lang kasi ang sarap ipanglaro ng Promodel kasi ang gaan sa paa.

OT: Wow size 14. Kasingtaas mo siguro mga PBA centers. Si Rasheed Wallace nga 6'11" na size 13 lang paa niya. Ayokong bantayan kita pag magbasketball. He! He! He!

 

im only 6'2" hehe... my shoe sizes range from 12-14.5... actually ang black adidas kobes (sa taas) na yan size 14.5! pero usually size 13 ako (yung vc3 ko size 13)

Oo nga yung mga shoes iba-iba yung length ng sizes. Yung size 12 nang mga Adidas ko parang 11.5 lang sa Nike. Pag Converse naman, yung 12 ng Nike ay 13 sa kanila. Kaya I stick to Nikes most of the time para 12 lahat ng shoe size ko.

 

Pag nagsusuot ka ba ng malalaking shoes di ba nacompromise yung fit? Heel slippage would be a big problem unless double socks & naka-bandage pa yung ankle area mo pag naglaro ka. Usually ako double socks lang. Pag magbandage ako dapat size 13 na yung isusuot ko.

Went to Glorietta yesterday & inikot ko mga Nike shops dun. Nakita ko na yung Le Bron 2 Low. Pati J10 Retro & maraming colorways ng Huarache 2K5. Tingin ko pag may aabutan pa akong sizes ng H 2K5 pag mag 40-50% off yan. Yung J2 na black 60% discount. I got tempted to buy one kaso yung upper kasi niya di matibay w/c is synthetic suede. Naalala ko tuloy yung J7 ko na nagtutuklapan na yung upper ngayon w/c is the same as that of the J2. Yung Air Force Operate ay on sale at 15% off. Mas mura pa rin sa Rufino.

 

Skip: Kailan ulit sale sa Rufino?

Sorry Doc wala pang balita. Dnt worry I will post up the info once there is another sale. As for the H2K5, tempting nga specially yung silver and white na colorway, just the same color Jimmy Jackson and the Matrix are wearing for the Phoenix sun :D . Pero I doubt that we will get to see that on sale in the future, very limited lang kasi yung pinarating na quantity ng Nike Philippines :( , just like the H2K4 rarely do I see the color way I want on sale. Actually sold out na rin siya just like the Zoom Drive, I was just lucky to get my hands on those zoom drives..hehe :D . Been trying to restore nga rin my Jordan 5, using shoeglue, saw those adhisive at athletes foot ermita robinson. Expensive nga eh, 340 pesos per tube. But from the specifications about the glue, it has a longer elasticity compound so unlike the mighty bond it stretches when you flex the certain part of the shoe while you are wearing it. I'll update you guys when it is successful. As for the moment here is how the H2k5 white and silver looks like...bling bling.. :cool:

well yes, depende sa shoes... most of the time i just pull the laces on tighter... im a big fan of the VC 1 tho, coz nka-zipper xa... and it feels really good on my feet...

yung VC 3 mejo bad trip, whenever im required to play all 40 mins of a game, sumasakit ang balls ng feet ko... im probably gonna buy le bron's shoes or something next time around, something light and comfy... right now im really having fun with the running game (ala suns) and since im no steve nash, id like something light enuf to run with.. any suggestions? i dunno if i shud buy something with zoom air tho, coz im way too heavy for that......

Bili rin nga ako ng shoe glue. Yan din yung type kung Huarache 2K5 pero nakikita ko pa yang ganyang kulay sa mga Nike Shops last week. Kung wala na yan yung white black colorway na lang.

You can buy LeBron 2's w/c are on sale at 30% discount right now. The cushioning uses Zoom Air Max w/c in only available on the LeBron 2. If it's not your type you can buy the Air Force Max Operate w/c most of the posters here also want. That's a big guys shoe. Or maybe you can try buying And1's 2Chi & Chosen One w/c sells for less than 2K in the And 1 Clearance Store in Greenbelt 1.

Yo spitzky, Im also a bit on the heavy side. Im presently around 190 pounds ( gained about 15 to 20 pounds late last year after I got sick...oh well...) So far the zoom drive I'm using feels just fine on my feet. It's a bit hard to find though ( same shoe that steve nash is rocking right now.) He's about 6'3" and 200 pounds. So you two should be around the same weight, my friend told me there was still a size 14 at sports haven over at club 650 selling at 2,800. Another option you might like is the air max sensation with max air at the heel, very stable and light because of the big TPU mid and heel support. I saw an all black and a white/black combination at why pay more over at shaw blvd. Around 2,800 rin ata. So maybe you can check out which one fits you better.

im on the heavy side rin.. weight ko is naglalaro sa 180-190lbs... so far sa lahat na technology ng nike na nasubukan ko.. i liked the zoom air the most.... yung aj xviii ko which uses double stacked zoom air ko is the most responsive of them all.. feel na feel mo yung air cushion while walking.... but im no fan of really soft soles e.. kasi i kinda my arch and the bottom of my feet gets sore kapag sobrang malambot... ive tried shox for playing hoops.. and my fave was the shox of the trainers... not the basketball ones...i have nike shox bb4.. and kahit anong gamit ko.. medyo masakit parin feet ko pagkatapos... when i switched to nike shox xt for balling yun na.. it was a bit low cut, and the traction was kinda not good.. (wala kasing grooves sa ibaba yun since XT shoes nga).. eversince then, ive been balling na sa lows.... ok naman..

 

ive used lbj2 low for balling and so far, ok naman ang cushioning nya.. max zoom air daw gamit dito.. meaning mas malaki siguro ang zoom air unit sa heel...but ive read from other shoe forums na nawawala daw ang responsiveness ng cushioning ng lbj2 after a few times of balling... (i dunno with the lows.. sana hindi sya ganon, pero i doubt).. but i hope not naman, coz im switching between 4 shoes right now when balling... kelangan ko nga bumili na ng isa pang black shoe for dark uniform e, wala akong makitang gusto ko.. ajxx sana e, kaya lang ubos na ang stocks and baka ma tempt pa ako hiwain yung strap pag nabili ko,para lang magmukang low and exclusive.. but then again.. thats 8k to play with a shoe..

 

if you play a running game nothing beats air zoom drive...mukang tight na tight nga sya sa paa e.. and mukang maganda ang traction and its a bit low.. but if youre concerned with injuries sa ankles... the best way is to tape your ankles...
