Color/brand of basketball shoes?

[ABYUFAN]

My current basketball shoes are over 2 years old, and while in my college days, I would have considered that a sin to have the shoes that long, now, they only get used once a week so I've only used them about a hundred times. Anyway it is time to replace them. I am currently thinking of replacing my traditional white / Navy hoops shoes with black ones (because I literally have never had black basketball shoes, it's always been white/Navy - for obvious reasons)

Does anybody here put much thought into their hoops shoes or do you all just go to Big 5 and get what's on sale?

Also does the fact that BYU is a Nike School and Utah an Adidas (at least for basketball) school factor into your decision?

Thanks

Adidas are the only ones that don't make my arches ache. I like the white....gives me an excuse to replace them sooner as they get dingy.

I haven't bought basketball shoes since high school, I just use my running shoes for most athletic activity (not the best thing to do, I know). But you can find some good reviews and great prices (depending on size and color) on Amazon.com
