The Coolest Sneaks that I'll Never Buy

By Craig Kwasniewski

Okay while we're all waiting anxiously for basketbawful's review of the Starbury One here's one of the coolest pair of sneaks that i will NEVER buy... the Manu Ginobili Dunks.

First some background... I loves my sneaks! Six months ago I shifted from collecting the Crazy-8's to Nike Dunks. (BTW - I still collect Air Jordan IV's) Dunks are cheaper than normal hoops shoes ($70 vs. $110) and I can wear them at work without catching shit from the boss. My collection is rather small and my favorite is the HR Puff-n-Stuff's for "several" reasons. Anyway, when I'm not scouring the web for NBA news, I'm bouncing around Nike Dunk sites for upcoming shoes and release dates.

I stumbled upon the Ginobilis at kick-friend.com a few weeks ago and thought nothing about them. They are a special release commemorating the 2006 World Championships in Japan, but since I hate the Spurs, I could give a damn about some Manu Gynobili kicks.

Then I saw them in person at Undefeated in Santa Monica the other day. DAMN they're sweet!!! They have clear powder blue soles and the inserts show a map from Argentina to San Antonio. So if you can stomach the Manu Ginobili era I suggest purchasing a pair.

This time I'll pass on the usual, "sport these and flop like Manu!" jokes because I actually like the shoes. It's just too bad that I can't stand Manu's game along with the Spurs.

You can still find a few pairs for sale at pickyourshoes.com (Dunk Low QS "Manu Ginobili") and at some niketown's.

I wonder why Gynobili has skate shoes?

Man, I've got to start putting maps in MY shoes. I mean, it's brilliant. Although in my case I can either walk or drive. I'm not sure Manu could walk on an airfield, whip out his insole, and say "Take me there."

Just for fun, I also bought a pair of the officially licensed NBA shoes from Target. At $30, they're twice as expensive as the Starburys...so will they be twice as good? Time will tell.

Dunks are done. They sell them at Pacific Sunwear.

"Dunks are done. They sell them at Pacific Sunwear."

The 6.0's have officially marked the downfall of the Dunks.

When I scroll up and down the page it makes it look like the shoes are moving around. Man Iv'e got to lay off the drugs.

If you watch the WNBA long enough you'll start craving drugs and other colorful narcotics. I only watched for about 2 minutes and now I'm hooked on the stuff. They should just have the NB T & A, like that MAD TV sketch with Jalen Rose in it. Now that was classy TV.

The Dunks aren't a great shoe anyway. There basically a low cost alternative for air force ones. If I had an outfit to match and was going to a really dark night club I'd rock those. And I wouldn't care if they got scuffed or not
