Ok, a lighter topic.
I loved the powder blue shoes when worn with the same uniform at Wisconsin. I also loved the fact that bad*ss Jae still wore black that day. But to combo them with the white uniforms? Didn't do it for me. Thoughts?
I never approve of black bball shoes. I do however think the valour blue shoes are sweet.
I also noticed that Jamil and Jae (??) were not wearing them...they had other shoes on.

Actually, Jae had the blue shoes on last night.

Correct, Jamil and Todd weren't wearing them.
I'm a big fan of the powder blue shoes....and of course uniforms. Not a fan of our white or navy uniforms. Wish we would just rock the powder blues or golds all the time..

I disagree, I thought the powder blue shoes looked great with the white uni's. The shoes made the stripes stand out more on the jerseys. The combo looked great in my opinion.
I don't care if they are wearing bathrobes. Those powder blue shoes are the tits.

OK thanks. I noticed on Saturday that Jae used a different shoe for warm ups that is why I thought it might be him.
Powder blue Nikes are excellent. I want a pair...
My son and I both have an older version of this Nike shoe, we call them Marquette Nikes. Get compliments on them all the time. Interesting enough, they're actually called OJ Mayo Nikes.
Anyone know if the current version can be purchased? If so, where?
Jae wore the powder blue shoes last night.

Mayo did not.

Do your worst conspiracy theorists.

Jae did wear black shoes against Bucky. I don't remember if Jamil did or not that game.

They Fly Wade Nike IDs can be customized, but baby blue isn't one of the options. I haven't had any luck finding the MU shoes anywhere yet.
I think they should have shoes that match the color of whatever uniform they wear.
I don't know how I would feel about yellow shoes.
Didnt we have yellow shoes recently?
Buzz should rock them next time he breaks out the powder blue jacket

Wasn't that the NCAA Tournament last year? I thought Nike rolled them out for Nike teams in the Tournament.

Awesome. And leave them untied with the laces hanging all over. (We better not give him any ideas!)

I thought it was at the Big East Tournament. I just did a Getty Images search on every BET we have been in and we didn't wear them there.
I just searched the NCAA tournament last year but we wore white and black.
I searched every NCAA game we've been in since Stanford and we didn't wear them.
Maybe I dreamed this?

Dreamed it. For the tournament, we usually got a different Jordan with the monogram on them.

Can't recall tourney games but I know what shoe you're talking about. Patent leather with yellow trim (I think) but the shoes were mostly black/navy blue.

I don't think so. Maybe you're thinking of ZFB's yellow underwear?
Where can I get a pair of those OJ Mayo shoes?

The OJ Mayos we bought have more light blue than the new ones, plus the new ones seem more restrained. The gold laces with dark blue threading might have something to do with it. I got mine at the Nike Outlet in Johnson Creek for $45. It's one of those things where all the stars lined up and they had these shoes that would seem bizarre to anyone other than an MU fan in my size and cheap. About a month later, we were in the Nike outlet by Kenosha and they had one pair of size 8 1/2 and I got them for my son. I wear mine for hoops on Saturdays and my son has just about outgrown his.
I don't know about the Nike ID stuff to create your own shoes, but I wouldn't recommend the Addidas create-your-own DRose Adizero. I created a pair that looked pretty cool. They came directly from China. I wore them once for bball and never wore them again. I'll give them to my son for walking around shoes when he fits into them. Almost no support and so flimsy. I could barely walk the next day. I attribute that to being old AND the shoes.
TallTitan, maybe you were thinking of UWM? They wore highlighter yellow shoes at one point last year...

I think you want the Nike Air Force 25's

Wore them against MSU, which is probably why nobody remembers them. Here's a pic - you can see players wearing them behind crean.

Here's the original thread here about them...

Almost all the shoes Marquette wears are Jordan pes (player editions) and are very hard to find.

Hot. Hot. HOT. Shoes.
Got'em at a Nike Outlet back then. The patent leather is so shiny.....

I remember MU wearing yellow shoes. Want to say it was sometime in the 06-07 season or 07-08 season in a random game, maybe against DePaul.
Maybe we could cut up Buzz's blazer from the other night and make some yellow shoes out of it.
