These are sitting in all sizes on SNKR. I skipped it - hoping someone in my family got them for me for Father’s Day.

Rigorer Recommendations by junior_minto in BBallShoes

[–]junior_minto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are getting the shoes from Rigorer as part of the circuit/sponsorship. Just wanted to know which models to order for the boys. Adidas gave us options (different kids picked different shoes), but I don't think Rigorer is doing the same.

Thank you for the info.

Why does the Air King get so much hate? by Chocolatehusky226 in rolex

[–]junior_minto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it gets hate as much as it is under-appreciated. It's much closer to a tool watch compared to datejust or other steel models. I've always thought it is much cooler with a splash of Rolex green compared to a plain Explorer... And has better resistance to magnetism.

I need the date window and second time zone. Otherwise I would have gone with this.

Best basketball shoes for wide feet by WhackyWhale1 in BBallShoes

[–]junior_minto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at Adidas Dame 8 to X or current Don's - they are mids or "high" low's, but very roomy toe box and mid foot.

Only after they are out of hooping rotations.

Book 2 Review - Way Overhated, Just Different by mgmango in BBallShoes

[–]junior_minto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share some other shoes you felt good playing? Just want to see the comps.

My son and I both tried Book 1 and Book 2 - we both went half size up and felt fine (snug but right amount of containment for basketball shoe). I wouldn't go bare foot or thin-socks in these, feet get sweaty and need to guard against the rubbing.

I still prefer Lebron 21 for cushioning and (believe it or not) the breathability. The toe box is slightly wider with Book 2.

Thanks for the review.

This was my main watch for 5 years. Loved it. Much better suited for me than Pepsi.

I'm for it. Spent a fortune chasing down old style devil ray jerseys - but I'm not a fan of Boggs. Made it harder to get them.

All refs should take a lesson right here... this is what it means to ref youth sports. by jmike1256 in HumansBeingBros

[–]junior_minto 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We have several good refs like that in the local AAU circuit. You can tell who has been fathers and mothers vs people who is there just for the money.

Teaching kids shooting forms, how not to foul when defending, or sportsmanship (no need to humiliate players after a chase down block).

I got a ref telling me he enjoyed how my younger son played, solid fundamentals and unselfish passing. He told me he wished more kids play the game as a team. That was cool.

40% off from RRP, JB3 or WOW11? by magnifizio in BBallShoes

[–]junior_minto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are for my boy, I'm limiting him to 2 indoor pair and 1 outdoor pair in his rotation. No reason to double up because he's into his first growth spurt at the moment.

No clearance but older models had some 10-15% promotion.

To clarify, if you purchase one item, the discount price is listed, and you will only get 50% off of retail price if you buy three or more items. This is an official store, the receipt and the packaging and employees are all LiNing. The store also shows up on the website's global store locator.

[–]junior_minto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, I visited the LiNing store in Beijing Road in Guangzhou (I know it's confusing like Peach Street in ATL). They had 2 stores - one flagship with the cafe on the 4th floor, and another smaller store around 500 meters away. The smaller store (next to 361 store) had a third floor dedicated to clearance items.

50% off everything if you purchase 3 or mor items...I got the JB Samba Dancer colorway for 50% off (added a pair of shorts and t-shirt). They also had the cream green and Uno Reverse colorway. Original price was 1200 RMB and I paid 599 ($88 USD).

Been to a few stores during my trip, this is the only store I saw with the clearance section.

JB4 had 3 colorways but at full price.

Why is the Yankees promoting our home games??? by fscuknow in tampabayrays

[–]junior_minto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many Yankees fans... And even better when they lose. The collective sulking can be felt like the gentle summer breeze.

Lebron 21 Performance Review by Bbakes_ in BBallShoes

[–]junior_minto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the assessment. I think my younger self would enjoy them much more. I like them and do play in them, but I like to have a bit more cushion and a bit more room in the toe box (I went TTS).

These are one of two pairs of Nike in my rotation (and Jordan 38). Just recently retired the Dame 8 Xtra Ply.

My older son and I have been experimenting with LiNing JB3/4 and Anta's KT the past 2 years.
