New Base Shoes

[Thunderheads]

Hi all, ...

These are my new dogs!

The Nike Air Elite Pregame - they come with white and black laces, so obviously I switched the white out w/ the black. Nice shoe, comfy, light, and especially sharp for those who like some white on their shoes! There is a 'softer' material on the eyelet area and it comes over to the toe area, but it seems to clean up just fine.

One pic is the "Nike" product pic, then,....an actual pic of mine....

Jeff,

How do you think the softer part's going to hold up over seasons? How would you clean it?

Hi Andrew, ... great question! Looking at reviews, and spending several "online chat" conversations and on the 800 line, I was never able to get a good answer from Nike. The reviews all said (positive) that the shoes cleaned up very nicely. I wore them on Sunday morning and it had rained the night before so the dust level was WAY DOWN which was great! I had very little issues. That said, the stuff that did get on there came off very easily with a quick spray of water and a wipe off.

So far so good. The material isn't "suede" because the entire shoe is synthetic, but it is a 'softer' material, ...its hard to explain actually. I will try to get real good close ups later on this week.

I will admit I'm taking a little gamble, but I really like the look and they're extremely comfy!! Time will tell though....

I just got these last week as well. I've worn them in two games and I love them. Really light and comfortable. My partner for the first game I wore them in has them, and he says they hold up well and clean up really easily. I got a nice 20% discount on them too since I know someone who works at a sporting goods store.

GREAT!! There's 2 more reviews that are positive! :D
