Shox VC 5

[Illuzionist]

Yo I was wondering if anyone has or had a pair of those Vince Carter 5's..

They're on sale at my local foot locker..So if anyone played in them or knows someone who does I just want to know if they're any good to ball in and in terms of durability...I'm concerned about those fancy shox things...Thanks

I have then in white and gray. I ball fine in them. There pretty good.
Mines are just kinda loose on me ahaha

I'm mainly concerned about the durability...Like the rubber soles etc...I bought a pair of and1's before the summer and I planned on using them for this season, I played only a few times in them on blacktop and the sole is already tearing apart..that's crap...The sole on those shox is pretty thin near the heel..I guess If I don't abuse them on the blacktop and only play on hardwood they'll get better durability..


I'll probably go and buy them tommorow after school..I'm not sure yet since I have two other models in mind....The jordan melo's and a pair of ATR rebook pump thunder...anyway..thanks for your input mate..

the melos are rilli comfy id recommend those and with long laces u can lace ur initials on dem (becuz theyve got extra holes on the sides) ive been using them for 7 months on concrete and u can still c the air jordan sign clearly on the sole.

Just grabbed the last pair they had in my size (12)..And I was very lucky, when I got to the footlocker I saw some dude that shared my locker in college last year so he gave me a ''friends and family'' discount and I saved taxes...Muahahahahaha...

lucky... u got the melos?

[Illuzionist]

No they didn't have my style and anyway I prefer the shox technology to the jordans' high price tag..
