I want 'em!

It's been 10 years since I lost my ability to dunk a basketball (I'm only 6' tall) because of yet another knee surgery.  Now I have to find a way to get my league to allow these shoes on the court!

Damn, that's pretty good Nebu (that you could at least do it at one time). I'm 6'4" and can barely dunk.


As for the shoes, they look dangerous.

Not made for Americans.

Though I am overweight, I still have a good amount of muscle mixed with the fat, putting me at 220 right now. They don't have a size that'll carry more than 200#.  No fun shoes for me.

You mean no adult males over 5 feet tall. If you're reasonably well built and 6 foot or taller, you're probably 200 or more.

Poor Merusk!  But you could get one of these: (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/ra/razor-airgo-pogo-stick.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/garden-games/razor-airgo-pogo-stick.asp&h=298&w=298&sz=12&tbnid=-Sl7qJwqy6wJ:&tbnh=111&tbnw=111&hl=en&start=5&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpogo%2Bstick%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26rls%3DGGGL,GGGL:2005-09,GGGL:en%26sa%3DN)

You can be 220 lbs to use it, too! 

Here is a picture of a wee girl using those dangerous shoes for Stray:
