Best shoes for playing youve ever used?

[magnax1]

I was just curious what people thought.
I really love the kobe 4s and Jordan 28s for playing. I completely wore the soles down on my 4s I played with them so much in highschpol.

[01amberfirewv]

I'm going to call it a 3 way tie between Kobe 8's, clutch fit drive lows, and Curry 1 lows. I've had some CP3's that I liked as well but didn't like the height and a pair of hyperdunk lows that were good but lacked cushioning.

[ISHGoat]

Low cut Kobe 7s are dope. Still rock these to the gym & to other sports, been like 4 years.

[Lebron23]

Nike Air Quick Handle

Jordan Crush were my favorite. I bought a pair at finish line and wore them out and liked them so much I bought another pair on ebay. I also had a pair of the Kobe 5's. Best thing in my opinion was they felt tight enough to play in before even lacing them up.

[bdreason]

Kobe VI's and CP3 VI's have probably been my favorites. I've heard good things about the low-top Kobe X's.

I played in my new Kobe 10s for the first time today. They feel kind of stiff to be honest. The traction is pretty perfect though. I like them way better than I did my 8s though.
I think maybe if I break them in some more, they'll be better, but to be honest I probably won't ever use them over my 28s which are pretty much perfect.

I hear great reviews about lowtop Kobes...unfortunately I don't want to risk ankle issues for a little movement.

I hate ankle injuries at this age, they take forever to heal :(

How high are the shoes you wear now? I play in nothing but low tops with wide bottoms now because it always seemed high tops made a rolled ankle worse. If you think about it most high tops come right around your ankle so when you do roll it the upper actually pushes on the inside of your ankle

[Rake2204]

I've been loyal to the Jordan V over the years, but I have fond memories of my Nike Hyperdunks.

Those may have been the absolute best fit I've had, though they ripped in the midsole early on (could still be salvaged).

I also think the Jordan XIV's did pretty well for me.

After that would be along the lines of Jordan 28's i reckon.

IMO Kobe 9s are better, also fair cheaper now that you can find them on sale.

i was gonna get the jordan 28 SE's but i heard the air bubbles popped on people. also heard they had beastly traction though

I had a pair that I played in 5 times before the front bags started coming out


I'm hoping to try the Kobe 10's soon, I've heard they are really well cushioned and good for us old people

I have 2 pairs of the original xx8's, neither air bubble has popped and i still play in them occasionally, had a pair of Super Fly 2s which utized a slight modified set up, they're still going strong to & 2 pairs of Melo M10's, one of which has popped.

There is the risk, but definitely worth it.

Just got a pair of Kobe X's and they are right up there with the best. I was playing in some Curry 1 lows but I landed on a foot and suffered a bad ankle roll which also popped the top lace eyelet out. The Curry's are also great shoes but the traction was questionable on the terrible courts I play on.

So overused honestly. My gym was littered with people rocking the low Kobe tops. I've seen guys roll their ankle in pain with it on.

Personally I've used 2 Under Armor shoes (high tops). Favorite of the two was Lightening 4. Never had a bad ankle sprain with it. Worn them out within 3 years though (I regret not just buying another pair of it). Great on indoor courts. Traction was amazing and helped me spot up shoot better than the one I have currently. Current Under Armor is better for blacktops but doesn't have the stability/comfort I had with Lightening 4.

I used to play basketball in low tops, worthless. Needs to be mid or highs. Protecting your ankles and feet is the reason you ball with basketball shoes.

I just bought Nike Air Max 2 Infuriate Mid, best balls shoes I've ever had. Jumping all over the place smoking everyone.

The Kobe AD mids have been my favorite for a while now!

[BarberSchool]

Currently, Adidas N3xt L3v3l, once you get them broken in.

[Terrt]

I found cool ones when I was living in Germany : Nike hyperdunk 2017 and Nike Lebron Soldier XI

[Terrt]

Also I found cool ones when I was living in the property in Latvia here (https://tranio.com/latvia/) I used to wear Adidas Dame 4, they are extremely comfortable

[Thorpesaurous]

My favorite Jordan's were the 6s and particularly the 8s, although the 8s really fell apart if you used them outdoors particularly. I had a 30 not that long ago that I hated. Had to give it away, but I'm still using a 29 for most of my outdoor playing that I like a lot. I hear the new 34 is great, but I haven't found a colorway I'm into.

I have a pair of Harden's from a couple years ago I just couldn't break through the strap above the toe box in well enough for my taste. I have a Lebron 13 that I really don't like the way the sides run up, but they have no support across the back.

I really like both the KD 11 and the KD 12.

I loved the Kobe 8, that I think Addidas rebranded as the Crazy 8 not long ago.

But if I'm really playing indoors I have a pair of Nike Kobe ADs from 2018 that are my favorite going right now.


Another classic from my childhood I loved was the Nike Air Flight Light.

[Jailblazers7]

I stopped getting Lebrons a few years ago after I finally admitted to myself that they're too heavy for me. A shoe built for Lebron probably isn't ideal for me lol.

I really like the zero.3 Westbrook's from this year, they have a really snug fit for me which I like. I also tried out the Converse Pro BB's and liked them a lot. They're a pretty minimalist design but that makes them super responsive on your feet.

[Thorpesaurous]

I finally got this pair of Jordan 34s, and played in them a couple times last week, and this is a great playing shoe. Much more structured feeling than I expected, felt plenty locked in. Almost no break in required. Great traction. And it feels super reactive to movement. The only thing I think the Kobe has on it is that it feels like it sits a little high off the ground. Honestly I think the Kobe sits a little low, and I'd just gotten used to it.

I'm considering doing Nike By You versions of the KD 13, which looks so I'm guessing will perform almost exactly like the 12, and the Air Rize 2, which has a massive zoom unit in the forefoot, and has the split sole set up, so I'm guessing will feel a bit like these, but with the more structured knit upper.

I'm also intrigued by the Jordan 35, which I read feels a lot like these, but has a full zoom unit in the heel as well, and a more structured upper, and the Jordan 34 SE, which is essentially this same shoe, but with a zipper cover over the upper, that adds to the structure and the lockdown feeling.

Once again, the 35 doesn't seem to have a decent looking colorway coming out the gate.

If you want best shoes for playing then please mark down below indigocard (https://www.indigocard.review/) features:
1.Have a stiff back. Grasp the heel in one hand and the shoe above the heel in the other hand. You should not be able to move the shoe side-to-side around the heel.
2.Have a small amount of torque. Hold the shoe at both ends. You should be able to twist it slightly.
3.Bend where your toes bend..
4.Provide arch support. If the shoe does not have arch support, add an extra arch support. Spenco, Powerstep, and Superfeet products are often comfortable. Check that the arch support can fit in the shoe 5.without squeezing the toes or causing the shoes to slip off the heel.
6.Are wide enough and long enough at the toes. It should not push the toes in or make them curl.
7.Feel comfortable right away.
