Looking for suggestions. Gonna have to pickup a new pair soon, I grabbed some Kobe8's about 2 months ago and I've already worn down the outsole around the pivot area to the point where I can see that plastic-ish material showing.
Sad thing is these were XDR's from NikeID (xtra durable my ass)
Not too fussed about the looks, but I would help if they had a removable insole as I use Superfeet insoles.
for outdoor i never spend too much cause they wear out in no time
been using old cp3 vi's, hyperdunk 13's and some random adidas' for a minute outdoors
Just gave up on my Hyperfuse 2011 and they lasted a good while (over a year). Will probably pick up the exact same pair if I can find it online. Cheap now too. Like $70.
Was actually looking at some Hyperfuses, or dunks. I assume they're the same in regards to outsole but different on top right?
So far those are my top contenders, although I've been reading up about some asian PEAK TP1's, Tony Parker's new sig. shoe.

kobes for outdoor will just kill them quickly. honestly, for outdoor shoes, you might as well go to nike factory and choose any shoe that has decent protection and stability thats on sale. or just go with the hyperfuse. hyperdunks will wear out quickly on outdoor courts.
Try out Kobe's outdoor specific line, Venomenon, they're really sturdy. I heard it's not available in North America (I'm in Asia) but you should be able to find some on ebay. The only thing I don't like about it is the zoom air is only in the forefoot not heel.
My favorites were these

Looks like the price is rising though.
If I play outside much this summer I may try these

Ill sell you a pair.
I would recommend the Jordan CP3 VI. This shoe has amazing traction and you can grab them under $100 now.

I have the cp3 vi, personally, I prefer the cp3 vii. I found the shoe feels a lot more supportive for me. In the vi, I was worried about rolling my ankle and that made me hesitant.
