Footbag shoe color preference?

Post by mc »

If a new footbag shoe was coming out, and you had the choice between a black pair or a white pair, which would you choose?
BRICK!

I choose black.

I've had a white pair and now have a black pair. I prefer my black pair now.

Black. When I look down at the bag on my lavers when doing a clipper or something, I like the color contrast better than with white.

Also, white becomes grey/ew. black stays black

I like colors usually, but black over white.

I like colors too. If anything I would choose the all grey look of the Quantum 02s than any other shoe color, with blue Lavers coming to a close second. In this poll I chose black because that looks and stays neutral through extensive abuse of the shoe.

I like the look of dirty white/grey mesh, but if you stain it with food, coffee or some sort of dirt or grime the look of the shoe gets really distorted.

edit: Although I mentioned that black looks better because it stays neutral through abuse, the color on the black Quantum 03s' sole wears away through play. If I'm looking for a black footbag shoe I would be inclined to finding a sole keeps its look well through rigorous play.

Black, in my opinion, looks better than white. However, I would love to see some bright colors in footbag shoes.

I prefer black, though white is good so long as it's been kept clean.

yeah for sure

if you painted them, would that have a negative effect on their playability?
cause acrylic paint dries into a plastic like substance
