I prefer climacools. I have one set that I'm using, in good condition, and 2 reserve pairs! I'm so psyched that I have the reserve pairs, they can be hard to find.

please choose a more descriptive title for your thread in the future :D
BRICK!

I voted Laver's because that's all I've used. But I am seriously looking into G6's. They seem to be gaining popularity and I'd like to try a pair. Unfortunatley I already have a reserve pair of lavers so it might be a while before I have an excuse to get some Gunits.

I used to play with Chuck Ts until I got Lavers. If you get Lavers I think you would change your opinion. Chuck Ts are so heavy and have bad inside, this might be to the fact that all the weight is in the sole of the shoe and/or the slope of the sole.

Ok, thanks. I've still never heard of them before. Looks like they might have a decent toe, but you can't get a good look at the inside with that pic. But hey, guess it's just personal reference though.

Tsiangkun = shoe guru

I don't really have a preference. I've played in Lavers, 300's, 520's, Climas, Millenium's, and Units -- they've all had their ups and downs. I would probably say Climas because I haven't had a chance to try a pair that fit me really well. It would be an interesting experience. Either that or A3's -- after seeing Crook throw it down in those, I tried a pair on at an Adidas store and really thought they were quite nice. Amazing inside surface.

Me neither. I'm always open to experiment, since every shoe has an advantage and disadvantage to them. I've had experience with Lavers, Goonitz, a variety of NBs and some third party brand shoes that I liked, so it's hard to choose. I would like to get a hold of Climacools in my size sometime soon, and see how they work out for me.
