Alright yesterday I was in practice and we were running and my 360's ripped and I was like :O... Now I need to get new shoes, and I need EVERYONES best advice. I was thinking of getting the Lebron V but it seems so heavy, I want something good looking, REALLY and I mean REALLY good comfort, lightweight, anything that will help me with my quickness around the basket.

if you have the cash, go get some jordan xx2's those things are amazing, especially their heel cushioning system. the ankle protection is alright and the durability is pretty decent also. however, its slightly heavier (16.2 oz) but much more durable i believe.

for a cheaper alternative, get any up-to-date huaraches. i say up-to-date because the previous versions are very unsafe for your ankles. because they are EXTREMELY light (around 15 oz) compared to your air max's which were 17.8oz. The traction is also amazing and the shoe itself is REALLY comfortable (it has a thick polyester sleeve, sort of like the Jordan xx2). The cushioning (Zoom Air) and the ankle protection is alright, above average below great. But the only doubt i have about it is the durability.

i've tried both of these shoes and these are the only two shoes I'd recommend (assuming you're a guard hopefully). the jordan's are more durable but they cost a lot more. all depends on how much money you have. if you do choose the jordan xx2's, avoid the PE (they have an additional strap). i heard they are not as good as the originals. if u want pure comfort, go sk8ter shoes :P lol jokes

you can expect a lot from traction and comfort and weight. but the cushioning however, i am not 100% sure because i wear orthotics in my shoe. but i think the cushioning's alright because it has zoom air units. but my major concern is durability. try to use the shoe indoor more than outdoor. btw, i've been using these shoes for about a month. just a warning, since you've been using the air max 360's for a while (i think they have the best cushioning tech, only jordan xx2's would second them) but the huaraches cushioning tech is far from the air max's. so your legs may feel more fatigued because huaraches does not absorb impact as well as your previous shoes, the airmax's.

LMFAO DIPSET, I was just at wal-mart, not for shoes btw, but your kidding me. But now I think I should get another pair of 360s different color, and it would cost way less
