Basketball Players--What Shoes Have Worked For You?

[GoldenGuppy]

I'm currently wearing the past gen Nike Air Zooms...

They were comfortable, just took forever to break in!

Time to get a new pair... looking for some feedback on what has done a good job out there on the courts!

Thank you

I don't know about basketball, but if its anything like drumming then something as personal and influential as a shoe won't be a one size fits all thing. Some guy may prefer some $500 shoes whereas another guy may play best in some cheapo Chuck Taylor knock-offs. The best advice I can give is to go to a shoe store and try on different pairs, walk around in them for a few minutes or until you get a feel for them, and just keep looking until you find something that feels really good for you. If they end up sucking, try something else next time.

EDIT: damn, I didn't think this one posted.

I've had good luck with 3/4 top Nike Shox Flights, whatever they might look like at the time. The Air Max types are way too squishy for me, and I usually play indoors so the Shox are good enough cushioning. I might try a pair of New Balance bball shoes next time around, because I love their running shoes.

The best shoes I've ever worn are the NIKE KOBE shoes. The first day I wore those suckers... it's as though they've already been broken in and were comfortable as hell. I love them!

You talking about the new KOBEs? or the old ones?

whatever looks the most ghetto fabulous is obviously the best!
