Men's Basketball Shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Stick around the game long enough,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and you'll see all kinds of trends in the world of men's basketball shoes. Some of these do in fact provide added value--at least functionally if not aesthetically--to customers concerned about comfort and safety on the court. Others,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it seems,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are nothing more than crafty gimmicks designed to justify exorbitant prices.
In the late '80s, "pumps" first made their appearance on the basketball shoe market. These sneaks offered basketball-shaped (and colored) pumping mechanisms on the outside of the tongue, which kids could inflate and deflate to their heart's content. The additional air was purported to fill the gaps between foot and shoe for maximum support when cutting or sprinting. The theory itself was sound,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but in practice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the shoes were more of a distraction than an asset,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which explains why this trend was so short-lived.
There's something about the concept of air that has tickled shoe designers' fancy throughout the years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since the compound later made an encore with Air Jordans. Technically,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Air Jordans came first (around the time of His Airness's emergence as an NBA star), but the idea of observable air via tiny windows around the heel resurfaced well after miniaturized pumps disappeared. Parents of teenage kids were collectively hit with a case of sticker shock as they learned that this air,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so freely available throughout the shopping mall itself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had been repackaged and placed on display racks with 150 to 200-dollar price tags.
While no empirical study has yet weighed the relative advantage accorded by pumped air,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], additional heel air,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or even automatic lacing devices (a newcomer to the realm of men's basketball shoes),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these conceits have been entertaining to watch. No one can rightly say what the next generation of men's basketball shoes will bring, but one fact remains. All the bells and whistles in the world cannot compensate for sub-par talent standing in those shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so stick with the skill-development and conditioning drills.
