    Here is Yao Ming in his special-designed Reebok shoes, practicing prior to the Timberwolves game.

    Hope he can get the greenlight from the doctors today for returning to court for the match-up with Shaquille O'Neal of Miami Heat on Chinese New Year Day (January 29).

    the next generation basketball shoe.....a steel toe without the steel but with some lighter than air polymer with enough strength to withstand a one ton mass.

    Did Yao lose some weight? He looks thin.

    It looks he lost the mass in his legs. They're still huge but not like before. Maybe he'll be more agile.

    Looks like a fan standing behind Yao is getting impatient to wait for his turn to get Yao's autograph.

    lol. Yao should just backhand the dude without even turning around and say "wait your turn b****"

    Funny picture of Moochie Norris making fun of Yao Ming's new shoes.

    I think they should have made both shoes look as similar as possible. Putting that big red toe section on the reinforced shoe is like painting a bullseye on his foot.

    Just incase you haven't realized it by now Yao Ming has class. Such a reaction that you suggest is that of a street person.

    Someone needs to go to the skycourt and see how big Yao's hands are. Looking at the pics, they look rather large to me.

    Look at Yao's sandal. He obviously wants to bolt to the Lakers.

    Yao looked good. It looks like he's almost ready to come back to play. Can't wait.

    Thanks, pryuen.

    Nice pics and good info. I also want to see yao vs. shaq on Spring Festival. On the other hand, I don't want him to take the risk to rush back too soon.
