What's the best brands overall for
1) Running?
2) Basketball?

Pic is Nike Running shoes I just got.

b-Asics is new on the scene, at first I throught they were a cheap brand, but it seems they have pretty good quality.

Adidas, Converse, Nike, Reebok. What's your preference from personal experience?

was told Asics or New Balance were best for running. tried both and recommend both.
from my experience, asics has more plastic shit in the shoe and new balance uses of this cloth feeling synthetic material. just get the right fucking size. trail is the most gummiest, if you run on pavement; racing is the most heel preserving and lightest.

basketball : ???

Nonsense. Nike shoes have come way up in quality the past few years. They are well regarded and do well in tests from running mags. I put 500 miles on my Air Motos before I had to replace them. Plus they got style.

That being said, New Balance are as good as you can get. I know a couple of people who swear by Brooks. Really, its what fits your foot best and what you like, that matters. If you pay for quality, you will get it.

In fairness, it's been many years since I've worn Nikes. I still swear by NB for running any day of the week, though.

Agreed, you can't do better. All you need in life is a good pair of running shoes.

new balance's are fucking AWESOME for running

so fucking comfortable, it's like you're on air

the big negative in my book/and for track, XC, etc.. is that they're heavy as fuck. but soooo comfortable

It's too bad they have such an ugly brand symbol.

Oh, you must be one of those fags that pay a premium just because a famous person endorsed a shoe.

I LIKE CHUCK TAYLORS BUT THEY SERIOUSLY SUCK FOR SPORTS.

Personally, if you're running just for fun it doesn't matter too much as long as it fits you and it's the right type for what you want to do.

That said, for distance running Asics and New Balance are King.

New Balance and asics are both fantastic. Wore asics earlier, now I have a pair of New Balance and they're great. Extremely comfortable and lightweight
