I was wondering what shoes would yall recommend for heavier ball players? I'm not looking to buy anything that's out now. Something that's been out
i can buy on the cheap. Looking for the Stat 360's, can't find in my size. Weight is 270 plus. Any help will be appreciated.

Ross/Marshall's usually has a plethora of big-man shoes in big-man sizes ... definitely worth a try ...

Maybe Im off base with this since Im not a big man myself (pause?) but Lebron IV's actually I think would be a good choice...they a little on the heavy
side but for somebody who could pull them off, the cushioning is crazy...

Good looking fellas. I have about six pairs of the ZK1 and a pair of the ZK2 ST. Was wondering if i don't buy anything would one of these be suitable. Also in the first stages of losing weight,so this won't be an issue anymore. |

I copped a pair of Wade 3s recently, they are beautiful ball shoes - sturdy, real leather, old school foam cush. They've held up well with my extra pounds and were only like 20 bucks. Those might work. Best of luck getting back in shape, buddy. |

I was pretty heavy and I'm no lightweight now-- 230 or so-- and I have been wearing Powermaxes the last few months. I got them at a Nike outlet, and they
were pretty cheap. Probably cheaper now. When I started I was around 270 and went through a mess of Barkley's-- different years-- and never had any
problems. Also, if you can find them, the AF25 is a tank and plenty cush for bigger players.
Good luck losing that weight. Peace. |

Jolynonwag. How heavy were you before you got down to 230? I've lost weight before. I went from 277 to 216 in about two and a half months. Did this while
playing ball and working out. I noticed when i was dropping weight i traveled a lot on the court, which i rarley do. I think this has to do with the weight
loss and my body getting used to the weight loss and my muscles being uncordinated,while dropping to 216. Were you able to jump a lot higher?

I feel you my guy. I was 370 when I decided to turn %+!+ around. I wore those AF25 the last dude talked about and just a mess of cheap Nikes. I'm down to
about 180 now, but I still have to ball in wide shoes. Good luck man!

no vert wrote: Ooh. Like 275. Hurts to admit I got so big. I hadn't stepped on a scale in a long while, thought I was around 250 or so, then BAM. Scary. Anyway, I changed my diet and went back to hooping three or four times a week. I'm at 234 today and want to lose ten more. Exercise and diet FTW. I am done putting on crazy weight. Jumping? I haven't been able to dunk since HS-- a long, long time ago-- but I can get rim again. I'm pretty old now, so my game consists more of sneaky old-man moves, but I can still get up if I have to. Good luck to you! The older you get, the harder it is to drop, so don't get discouraged, and go easy enough that you don't get injured. EDIT: I forgot to add, I rotate my shoes a lot-- because I'm so hard on them. If you can get at least two that work well for you and swap 'em every once in a while, I think it's better.

Good thread.
Has of jan 1, of this year i was weighing 230 pounds. I could barely touch the net let alone the backboard, my game was basically in the paint. I went from wearing point guard shoes to big man shoes, because I was carrying extra weight. I am now at 185 pounds and able to dunk again. But, on the shoe tip, my rotation consists of lebron 5, lebron 6, and the best shoe of all time the air max 360BB. I have some kobe 3's to try thanks to the nike retro post. I am almost glad that I gained the weight, because it let me experiment with "big man" shoes with a different cushioning. Good luck man.
Can I be the indispensable lynchpin,<BR>

done some work.
As for the Thread Starter.. I would agree with others.. like i gots.. go to TJ Maxx.. Marshalls.. Ross and get those Clearance joints to beat up.. as you might find some good stuff there....Like Zoom BBs in certain sizes lol...
