The EQT Elevation are the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. After a few years a few shoelace holes broke, so I went to a shoe repair shop and had them fixed. Then they went through a short Shoe Goo stage where I tried keeping them together a while longer. I tried playing in them today, and the glue for the bottom rubber has deteriorated. So yeah I wish they still made them, and yeah I wish I had bid $150+ when I saw a pair on ebay 3 years ago. My pair was/is mostly white with enough leather that they stretched perfectly for my feet. What really made this shoe great was the backside of it. Adidas has made a good number of similar shoes without the stretch band material supporting the area just above your heal, and they all pretty much suck.

I wore my EQTs until my toes came through the sole. Literally….

Best basketball shoes i’ve owned or think will ever own. and unfortunately does not have a fanatic following like nikes so seem impossible to find on ebay.

Just looking at the picture above snaps me back 10 years just like a song you used to listen to all the time does, you know….

RIP EQT….
