Just wondering, I can get a pair of basketball shoes of my choice for christmas. Also, are there any shoes that would be better than these?
(I am a high school varsity player)

none

I ordered these basketball shoes from basketball bay and my season starts in about 2-3 weeks i really need those shoes and im nervous they wont come in in time.

They’re based in China, so it could be a while.

Okay so I’m a freshmen in High school, and i made Varsity basketball! I’m so excited! Anyway, I definitely forgot to break in my new shoes, and we have a pre season game tomorrow. Any quick ways to break them in without ruining them?? Thank you!
Also, I can’t go outside, because its pouring!

just walk in them all day and do not take them of AT ALL. i have been in that situation before as well. make sure you do as much moving around as you can…hope this helps

I was just wondering, my friend bought some new basketball shoes and he has never really been able to touch rim, now he can touch like 2-3 inches over the rim, he told me that the shoes help a lot. Is this true? Do basketball shoes really help your vertical?

Only if he was wearing shoes without a rigid shank plate then bought a shoe with a plate. When you jump your big toe separates from your foot a few millimeters causing you to lose explosion. If you wear a shoe with a rigid shank plate e.g. carbon fiber it will minimize the separation thus restoring full explosion. The difference can be as much as 4 inches.

Jump 12 inches higher in 8 weeks:

i have some basketball shoes and i need some grip on them and i don’t know how so can any one tell me how to put my shoes some grip on them?
please Help!

1) Washing your shoes can improve your basketball shoe grip greatly. Overtime, dust and particles build-up on the soles of shoes, and fill in the texture on the sole. This reduces the friction the shoe is able to have on the court, losing your shoe grip.

Take a scrubby and some soapy water and go at it. Hold the sole facing down if you do not want any water getting into the inside of the shoe. Scrub the bottom sufficiently with the soap, and then let the shoes air dry. The next time on the court, you will notice improved basketball shoe grip to help you maneuver.

2) Don’t use aftermarket basketball shoe grip enhancers. These are often liquids or gels you rub on the sole to make them more sticky. While at first it sounds like a good idea, once you get on the court, it doesn’t work as planned.

The sticky shoes pick up every piece of dust you step on. Soon your basketball shoes will be a collection of dirt, providing a slick surface for you to slip on the court with.

If you still want to try it for yourself, cheaper alternatives to the expensive shoe grip products include pop or hair spray.

3) Convince your coach or school to invest in sticky mats instead. Most big games already use these. They are mats which have several layers of sticky sheets on which you step on to clean the bottom of your shoe. Peel off a new layer before every game to have a great shoe cleaner before you step onto the court. These are very necessary for you to have perfect basketball shoe grip before you play.

im a center. i like high ankle shoes and its my first high school basketball year so i want some good quality. Preferably nike. Any ideas of what would be good for me?

You can try Nike Zoom LeBron VII Shoes,the nike zoom lebron VII signature series can compete with the Air Jordan numbered series for all of you fans out there that feel the. Rather than going the flashy route, theZoom LeBron VII looks to have a pretty basic basketball aesthetic with nice touches like Flywire, patent leather and a full-sole Air Max unit.The official name of this sneaker seem to be “Nike Air Max LeBron VII” due to the use of Air Max in place of Zoom Air Technology.

I’m looking for a pair of basketball shoes that have some spring or cushioning in it or whatever it takes to get the most vertical leap out of them. Anything under 200$ is all good.

The hyper dunks do wonders for that, like 4 or 5 inches more of a vertical
