What would be good shoes to wear for basketball?
Me.. asked:
Okay, well I dunno if this helps, but I’m 5′ 11″, 13 years old, and I play forward, but from time to time I’ll cover for a guard. I’ve played with Nike Shox for a long time, but I have this heel problem and sometimes my heels hurt. I play basketball all the time. I wanted to know what a good kind is, like Garnetts or Tmacs, etc. And also, which would be easier for a quick style of play and easier on my feet when I jump? Thanks.

simple, the weight of the shoe is the most important thing. u want a light shoe. under 16 oz. is best. example: nike huarache 2k5 is 14.4 oz., it’s a great basketball shoe. i’ve listed a website to look at shoes. good luck choosing.
Jordan XXII(22’s)or D-Wade 1.3’s.Both of ‘em are high quality shoes.
you can a perfectly fine pair of plain old converse-type black canvas shoes that wilt chamberlain, bill russel, bob cousy, etc. etc. won in for years and years at walmart for $14 like i did. i am really proud of how i refused to play that game. i am proud of my hard working parents who struggle to make ends meet. and i play good. really good.
high cut shoes, so in case you hurt your ankle… well try some Jordan’s shoes or Jumpman highcuts…
And1, Nike Air, Air LeBron, T-Mac shoes.
you can go to a bunch of websites like nike.com, or adidas.com, at nike you can pick shoes for your position and you can customize your own shoes as well. you could get a air max elite, or a nike shox elite.
c if that helps.
hust the right siz and age. NIKE UPERTEMPO OR UPTEMPO I GOT THEM THEY GOT GOOD GRIP AND IF UR PLAYIN IN THE RAIN they wont slip they can jump too
Light basketball shoes like Nash’s new eds in Nike. They’ll improve your speed & pivotting so u’ll be faster in the game & pretty flexible with your legs & balance
Try the nike(not the shocks but the other ones) My bro has them. I will change my answer if I find out the name=]
