Mens Basketball Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

What type of basketball shoes should I get?

You should get the type of basketball shoes that match your style of play. Most men’s basketball shoes are made for versatile players who are stretching their skills in hybrid court positions. For more ankle support, choose a high top. They provide the greatest level of support above the Achilles. A mid-top gives more freedom to the ankle while still supporting the Achilles. The lower the cut, the more agility they allow for, at the expense of Achilles support. adidas recommends that players check with a trainer or coach before choosing a low-cut shoe to play in.

What's the difference between high-tops and basketball shoes?

There’s not always a difference between high-tops and basketball shoes. High-tops can be a specific type of basketball shoe, or they can be streetwear shoes with a classic basketball look that aren’t made to play in. High-top basketball shoes are designed to support players’ ankle and Achilles tendon. (Basketball shoes also come in mid- and low-cut styles.) For playing basketball, look for performance midsole cushioning technologies such as adidas Boost and adidas Bounce. Or if you want quick response and speed, a snappy midsole like Lightstrike might be for you.
