ellis island today. inhumane conditions: hot, overcrowded, long lines at every checkpoint. felt like i was participating in a re-enactment of immigration in the early 1900's. so much so that boarding on ferry to return to manhattan, i felt giddy as if i'd really passed the inspections and was on my way to live the american dream.

then the fun really began. this was our next 20 minutes in the subway:

board train #1
get off train #1 bc it's not moving
board train #2
as doors are closing, son realizes that he's left his bookbag, with his beloved stuffed turtle, "juicy," on train #1
amidst the ensuing hysteria and as our train is pulling away, i read the car number on train #1
hop off train #2 at next stop
wait for train #1
as train #1 is stopping, we all sprint like crazies to car number 5686
search in vain for bookbag & juicy. husband points out that since i read the car number on train #1 as we were pulling away from the station, we need to work our way down the train (thank god he remembers vectors and sh!t, so he knows which direction we should go)
at next stop, hop off car number 5686 and hop into the next car and search for bookbag
6 stops and 6 cars later, son and juicy are reunited

epilogue: overcome with relief, as i'm picking up milk for dinner at the corner store, i also buy a pack of swedish fish. my kids don't like swedish fish; i bought them as a special treat for juicy.

PPL,

Depending on what type of cushining you seek the rez2s may not be the best. Typically asics cushioning is a bit firmer than other types. I can especially feel it in my forefoot. granted I'm way huger than you so I can feel that kind of stuff. But if if your are going to the bird I would say try on the Lotto syn raptor xtreme2dmaxxxxxxxxxx speed and make sure to use the insole with the cushion pads on the heel and forefoot.

The new K-Swiss Defiers also have interchangable insoles so they would be worth it as well.

Have heard good things about the Fila Alfas as well. and the black and green alfa2s are the sweetest lookin tennis shoe out there.

Also the Cage II's have max air which is always top notch.

So heres the list for you to try on.

Lotto Xtremespeed2dmaxxxxxxx
KSwiss Defier MiSoul
Fila Alfa IIs
Cage 2's

And if theyhave them in your size you would be doing yourself an injustice not to slide a pair of speed pro III's on your feet. I never had a problem with cushoing and joints hurting and stuff. but it does feel like your wearing socks and your super low to the ground. Maybe not the right shoe for you but put them on anyway so I have something to talk about

alice301 · 08-17-2009, 07:01 PM

i know, i know. believe me, i exasperate myself constantly. hope you have more pix, cuz i have many more questions! thanx for the fight club explanation, magma. i was thinking that i had to somehow upgrade my silver twmac membership to CLUB level membership. or something.

is my 30 minutes up yet? i want to know if you're going to be using a draft board.

hollywood9826 · 08-17-2009, 07:03 PM

Its probably ghey ho mo online draft. Although super convient the best part of FFB is the draft where everyone is there and you bust each others chops over the picks. I don't play because after I draft I dont care about football enough to care.

nhat8121 · 08-17-2009, 07:51 PM

can i get the pw for FF sap?

auzzieizm · 08-18-2009, 02:07 AM

Hw, have you ever tried babolat shoes?? The all court 3's lasted longer than any shoes I have ever had, were really quick around the court, and comfy after break in ( I use insoles for every shoe I wear to take cushioning issues out of the picture). I just bought a pair of babolat propulses, and while they don't feel like they will last as long, they do feel a little softer, and may be a little more comfy after I really break these in. based on what's out right now, I'd keep getting babolat shoes until asics fixes their stiff new uppers problem.

And yes I like them better than the raptors and the speedpros I have previously owned.

hollywood9826 · 08-18-2009, 03:43 AM

Never wore Babolat shoes or new Balance either. Both seem like very good shoes though. I will say Once they make propulse in a diff color I will be very tempted. The all courts have leather uppers. Im not a big fan of the leather upper.

What Raptors did you have? did they have the syn pulse system?

What speed pros did you have? were like the current version and didnt have a tongue? if not do yourself a favor and get a pair for matches. and use your babs as your main shoes since the soles last longer.

hollywood9826 · 08-18-2009, 03:49 AM

Sup,

shop.lottosport.com clearance sale right now. Looks like a flat 40 euro ship to USA though. So you have to buy a bunch to offset the cost to maybe get it back to original retail.

Just take a vacation to Italy and stock up

Good idea HW. I may not come back!

Now I want italian food... great.. off to the wormhole!

Edit: Just checked. Nothing sold in my size. Unless you tell me that you go a shirt size down from Nike to Lotto. Frustrating!
