navychiefmatt09 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 There are loads of technology built into wrestling shoes now. Some shoes have some pretty impressive styling. So my question is... What is your all time favorite pair of wrestling shoes? What pair did you truly loathe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackwrestling Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Cael 2.0 Red White and Blue pretty sweet even if they can be had for cheap right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boot Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Black Widows were my favorites, I had a pair of Nikes in Jr High I hated though. The Black Widows were the most comfortable and had great traction. They looked incredibly cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navychiefmatt09 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Favorite pair ever... Adidas Combat Speed. The old blue ones with the yellow and red stripes. Love those things. Still have them. I think I like them because I toasted some competition during a trip to Poland in them, including their national champ.. I'm superstitious...so I was uh..angry...when I realized I left them in Indiana about halfway through the bus ride to Fargo a few weeks later. Worst pair ever... Those old Nike Greco Supreme shoes... You remember them... Black and white... hot pink inside... huge tongue.... ugly as sin.. hated those things... I did find my pair of Asics Ultra Flex yesterday... The Red and Silver ones from Vision Quest...Might wear 'em to practice this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Black Widows were my favorites. The Black Widows were the most comfortable and had great traction. They looked incredibly cool too. My pair of original Black Widows fell apart in less than 2 months. I hope you had better luck with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Hull Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The International Lytes, Black and Red and/or Red, White & Blue were pretty slick. Also the original Asic Tigers (Dan Gables or John Smith, not sure which) were also a nice pair of throwbacks. What was interesting was how much my style/mindset changed with each shoe I put on. I will say that Coach Hardman's Russian shoes are nice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 My pair of original Black Widows fell apart in less than 2 months. I hope you had better luck with yours. They're still solid and working great. There's not much of a sole left any more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckwallac Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Asics Ultra Flex!! The best shoe ever made. I wish that they still made them. I suppose that they do but only in leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sslaymon Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The first edition of the Adidas Jon Smith Mat Wizard. Loved and wore those things until I wore the sole out years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb25 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The old navy blue, Dan Gable Asic's split soles. I also had a pair of sweet looking Van's back in middle school. Anybody else old enough to remember those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2016GrecoGold Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 the Rulons. They are the best shoes in my opinion for traction in par terre!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz90 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Asics The Gable! I had a pair that were black and yellow. They wore out pretty fast, but I loved the throw back look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardCharger Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Asics International Lytes.. Just went searching the internet a bit on some and the cheapest and only pair was used for 225.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 These are my favorites, still have a pair that is going on 12 years old. And the classic Combat Speeds. Of course I had a brand new pair that I sold at state this past year for a hefty price. I guess priorities have changed...wrestling shoes or diapers?
