Is it a Marquette Player Exclusive?

I know the other shoe that's used widely by other players is the Wade Slash, but this one...I cannot find on-line.
I think they may be exclusive???
It looks like Lazar is wearing it, too.
That was the shoe that Lazar stepped over the endline with.
As BoBo Ryan would probably say...Lazar wears a size 15; if he was a size smaller, his shoe would have never touched the line and we would never be having this conversation.
I think the shoe is called the Wade Slash but is a MU version

I think he would have to wear a kids size 8 to not have stepped on the line.

Nope. That's not it.
They actually showed that one (BE Tourney version) in SLAM.
It was never released to the public.
I'll get a scan in here if I can.
That is the Converse Hops, it was a shoe from last season that a lot of their NBA players wore...actually Maurice Evans and Alando Tucker wore it some this year too.
Good Call...here is Jameer Nelson wearing them

ditto the compliment.
I have to get the SLAM issue to scan the MU shoe pic!
I would have sworn that they were Redwings...
They're called "The Converse Hops" They came out during the 07-08 season but we wore them in white and blue.
Great name, Crean! ;)
BTW, here are the shoes I was talking about: Converse Wade Slash "Big East Tournament" Player Exclusives.
Pretty slick.
But I looked at the pics I have of them and I don't recall anyone wearing them!
