Best bet is to just hit up a store like Footlocker, Champs, Finishline, Footaction, ect and just grab a few pairs and try them on...take whichever ones feel the best.

I don't think they make much/any difference as far as how high you get - but the cushioning (for landing) in Nike Shox shoes is pretty decent. I did my first in-game dunk in a pair of Shox Elevates. Replaced them with some VC 5s, but they were extremely comfortable. They looked kinda bland but they did the job

Lemme google for an image... here we go:

Happy shoe hunting :)
