My Innovation is basketball shoes

 

Basketball shoes are awesome. They come in a huge number of brands..all with a little bit of difference. Every famous basketball team play wearing these super shoes. So what is it about basketball shoes?

Basketball shoes change their details and designs every year. Many brands design basketball shoes, such as Nike,Puma and also Converse.

Converse became a  popular name in 1917. They designed the first basketball shoes in the 1920s.Converse is now owned by Nike. There are over 600 million pairs of converse shoes have been sold, just about every serious player had pair of all star’s ⭐️ on their feet.

Basketball shoes are designed to support the ankle and be comfortable. That is why they lace up and cover your ankles.

My Entry into the Top Spot Competition


Tunohopu Marae


The singing of waiata, loud and true, is what comes to my mind when I think of my special place. Kapa Haka with the clapping in rhythm and swishing of piupiu too.
Children running around playing tag and games of touch.
Dishes stacking up in the kitchen, with the call going out for serving helpers.The steamy aroma of hangi and steamed pudding makes my tummy rumble.

Ko Tahata toku ingoa whanau
Ko  Maungawharau te kura
No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa
