i can rock those yao ming joints for the chinese new year’s!!! i’m not really feelin’ the look of the AI’s, but I bet they’re as comfy as grandma’s bosom when you were sick as a shorty. guess i’m just a fan of the original Q’s.

i’m a sucker for gum bottoms, so i’d roll with the ai’s in a milli-sec if they were in his home uni colors. the yao i don’t know about. a little too busy to be playin’ ball in! they do look comfy for outdoors though.

The Yao joints just look completely ridiculous - in a bad way. They’re cool for him I guess. Not really feelin the other ones, gotta see em in other colors

Hey y’all–
The Yao’s are quite busy, and were targeted for those probably looking for a louder shoe visually…With that said, I have to cosign Bob. I wouldn’t wear them out to hoop, but they’re certainly a dope off the court shoe. Detailing looks like it’s top notch.

Wait I thought Yao was hurt for the Olympics as well??
My thing with the Yao’s is - I think it makes sense for Chinese dudes to rock em. I cant really diss em cause thats part of the culture. Im sure it will match the team jersey’s nicely.
