Message: [QUOTE="Marbles90, post: 5121628, member: 7436"] I am in my mid 50's and I currently back playing after my 3rd retirement - I keep saying I am done but then miss playing and come back. I have always worn Nike's over the years so when my Hyper Dunk's hit the end of their useful life last year, I only shopped Nikes and Jordans. I read tons of reviews and tried on just about every one. I ended up buying 3 pairs: Nike Giannis Freak 5 - I do not like these at all. Felt comfortable in the store but after about an hour on the court they really hurt my feet. And I have worn them several times hoping they would break in. I would say I have a "normal" foot but one of the knocks in the reviews was "not good if you have wide feet". Yeah they hurt. Jordan Luka 2 - Solid Shoe. A bit heavy. And a bit stiff. Also, they are already pretty worn after one year. Nike Lebron 21 - This was the highest rated shoe in all the reviews I read. I waited until I could get them for under $100 so I have only worn them a couple of times. They are the best out of the three I bought and will probably be my main shoe this season. What I have learned after not buying shoes for years: These shoes are all very different. It is hard to know what is going to work for you. Best bet is go to a shoe or sporting goods store and try them all on. Then search online for price. I got all of the shoes pretty cheap which is why I bought multiple pairs. I bought the Luka's first and probably could have just stuck with them because they worked fine for me. I am glad I bought the Lebron's. They are nice. The Freak 5's will probably end up on eBay...
