Men's basketball shoes

How to choose your basketball shoes?
Running, cutting, pivoting, jumping and landing, basketball is a sport requiring good footwork. Find the right trainers based on your foot shape, your position and your play style among our wide array of women's, men’s, girls’ and boys’ basketball shoes to stay one step ahead of the competition.
Sitting above the ankle, high tops provide optimal coverage and support thanks to the extra padding for added stability during action-packed games. Not enough mobility? You can either choose mid tops that are perfect for beginners or for those unsure about their playing style, or low tops that are lightweight and give increased mobility.



The upper material must be taken into consideration as well
Basketball sneakers can be made with leather, synthetic, knit or mesh. Leather uppers are durable and supportive but may be heavy while synthetic, knit and mesh uppers are lighter, more flexible and breathable but may not last as long. In addition to be equipped with lacing systems that help keep your soles in place, some shoes come with high-performance elements that wrap around your foot for enhanced support and control. You prefer emphasizing on comfort? Opt for a reliable cushioning such as the Nike Max Air units that help reduce shocks upon impact, the Adidas Boost™ midsole that offers excellent energy return or the UA HOVR™ technology that delivers responsiveness to keep you on your toes to score crucial points.

And let’s not forget about the outsole
Flex grooves, herringbone or multi-directional patterns, all those features come down to providing enhanced traction and durability, equally indoors and outdoors. You can also elevate your game thanks to the Puma’s high-abrasion sticky rubber compound for quick cuts and spot up play or the UA Flow rubberless outsole that gives higher grip when rapidly changing directions and speeds on the shiny floor.
Still hesitant? You can also use players’ signature shoes to help you call the shots, from the Nike lines for LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving to the Stephen Curry Brand by Under Armour to Trae Young’s and James Harden’s Adidas sneakers. With their essential components, functional designs and unique colours, those basketball shoes are ready to help you bring your A-game.
