I needed a pair of new sneakers to officiate basketball during the summer for AAU games. Now, I didn't want to wear my usual patent leather that I normally wear during the winter season.

These shoes are great for running up and down the court b/c they are light on your feet and as a true running sneaker...they have this 'mesh' look to them which kinda gives off an air condition feeling.

The look of them is mostly black with a shade of titantium on the Adidas stripes. They hardly show up. Bersides, most refs I see sually have some distinct white showing on their mostly black shoes.

I would buy these again especially for under $50. 5 stars

This has been my first dedicated running shoe in a while. I would say that I have been very pleased with this shoe. It is light, flexible, and very comforable. I suppose that a hard core runner could recomend a better shoe for 3 or 4 times the price, but for a shoe around $50, this is fairly good. 4 stars

These are pretty ugly shoes I think, but then again, I've NEVER seen an attractive pair of real running shoes. These were way cheaper than the average pair of running shoes, but had great support and bounce. Very comfortable to run in! 5 stars

Since I acquired the product through Amazon, December 3, 2007, spent a month and the shoes have not reached 3 stars

I love these running shoes I have put close to 100 miles on them and I am 240lbs, and they still fell good. 4 stars
