Originally I was modeling these shoes for this exact shot and setup, but somehow my 50 year old legs just weren't convincing as the legs of a basketball madman. My 17 year old son who IS a basketball madman as gracious enough to pose for me instead.

A football would be more appropriate for placing by your feet. You'd expect the basketball being dribbled, or held in your hands. The picture could have been turned away from the viewer, it distracts from the interaction between the shoes and ball I think. Despite these I like the composition created by the pose, and the perspective from the boards and fading light.
Socks, I need socks. I think the hairy legs are a bit distracting but I like the composition and color, the pose suggest the same as the title. Good shot.
6 - I like the composition, but Criticism; the ball dominates this picture in my opinion so I would like to have seen either the focus, or the angle, so that the shoes really stood out. Maybe the coloring detracted for these particular shoes, not sure.
