First, Zappos: I ordered these shoes yesterday and they showed up 19 hours later! Zappos, you are so fresh I almost want to name my first child Zappos. Now, the BB891: Admit it, they didn't exactly jump out at you when you first looked at 'em. But NB is like the girl at the dance with the funny dress who looks at you with a gentle smirk and waits for you to realize what she already knows...the other girls have dresses that look better, but none of 'em are as emotionally stable. I've balled for over 20 years, worn Yikes and Fajitas before, and every time I start to think,"they look good -- they won't hurt my feet or deliver poor performance," they do...and I come right back to NB. It's almost like NB tries to make the ugliest ball shoes they can to see how much you respect performance/stability over "what looks good." And if you're reading this, I already know the answer. And they're not really that ugly either -- the 891s are almost channeling that Avia 830 feeling, which I like. These two pair (I got the white/black ones too) will make my 9th and 10th consecutive pairs of NB basketball shoes. I haven't even worn the shoes yet and I already know what I'm getting...and you do, too.

Didn't hold up on asphalt. I played less than ten games and both soles started to de-laminate. Zappos asked no questions, gave me a refund over the phone. I was very happy with the fit though - I have wide feet, I ordered them wide, and they didn't bother me at all. But I can't recommend them - I'm getting some Nikes.

Very comfortable. Even though the soles are no wider than those of my (regular width) Nikes, these really feel much wider. There is substantially more room up front, and I couldn't be happier with these shoes. My Nike shoes pinch up front and hurt my feet terribly after about 15 minutes on the court. I have a very wide, flat foot which makes finding comfortable shoes very difficult (especially for basketball shoes). These are the most comfortable basketball shoes I have ever owned.
I'd also recommend: Adidas

Zappos is great - I ordered my shoes at 2:00 & received them the next day at 10:00. The sales person helped me look up a previous order to get the correct size. The easiest way to purchase shoes ever.

Really like these shoes. Looked at Adidas & Nike first but after the fit not matching well, I did NB. Good grip, good fit and support. No flashy features but a solid shoe for B-ball. Cost more but a comfortable shoe is worth a little extra. Zappos return policy helped me get the right shoe.
