Reply:Basketball shoes, but if you're in eighth grade, don't go and spend a lot of money on stuff like Jordans and stuff, because you're feet will grow (believe me, they will). My best suggestion would be right here:

I once saw this mat, or board, covered in sticky material to keep basketball shoes from getting slippery?

Anyone seen one of these, or know what I'm talking about? I play basketball in a weekend league, and the gym where we play has floors that get rather dusty/slippery. When I was in college, I once saw a basketball gym that had this sort of mat, maybe 16 inches by 30 inches, flat, and the top surface was covered with a sticky substance that would rub off the dust and grit from your shoes and leave them with better tread for the gym floor.


Did I dream this? I'd love to buy one now, but I don't know where to get them, or even what they're called to try to find one on-line. It was pretty low-tech, but it was definitely manufactured for this specific purpose - it might even have been made by a shoe company.


Any help? Thanks!

If you are looking for a really good pair of basketball shoes I would recommend the Nike Huarache's. I have a pair and they're very comfortable, provide great ankle support, and give you a wide range of motion while on the floor.
Reply:At the current time the best shoes for basketball (well at least for me) are the Nike Zoom LeBron 4 or the Nike Shox Elite TB, jordans are more for style now of days instead of an actual Basketball Shoe, and reebok is just a company struggling thats why they give rappers so many deals
Reply:Get it if you really are interested in basketball, and u really like the shoe very much!! If i were you i would get "Air Jordans"
Reply:ur a dumbass. think about it. do you want jordans or reeboks? are u kidding? reeboks suuuuuuuuuuuuck. i mean i would still cross you up in them but they are whack
Reply:reeboks suck!





get some Melo M3's, Lebron IV's, Huarache 2k4, or Lebron 20-5-5
Reply:The Nike Huarache's or Nike Zoom Kobe's are the best all around basketball shoes out right now.





But it really depends on how you play. Are you a bigger more physical inside player who needs more all around support? Are you a slashing quick player who needs a lighter shoe with good lateral support? Or are you just the casual player who wants to look good on the court?





Most of us are the last, and I would say of the two you mentioned, the Jordan's are the better looking shoes. Reebok pumps are nice, but rather bulky and clunky.





If you're more interested in playing in them, I'd choose the Huaraches or Zoom Kobe's.

Does it make that much of a difference to use basketball shoes for running?

Yeah Yeah, I know...they're basketball shoes for a reason...but I reason that all you do is run in basketball; so wouldn't they work well for running?

Does it make that much of a difference to use basketball shoes for running?
They do work for running, especially if you have weaker ankles like myself. Teh high top basketball show will provide extra stability that you'll need while you're running.
Reply:no they are to heavy and high for running sneakers or tennis shoes are better and even better are track spikes. basket ball shoes are only good in basket ball because they have a flat bottom that grips onto the floor better on a rubber or cinder track you want to be able to push off better not stop and go and stop and go

just an interesting fact...Jerry Stackhouse used to wear a brand new pair for every game
Reply:if your shoes are worn out...if it's uncomfortable...if you out growed the size already...
Reply:It's all about comfort. Feels good=keep them. feels bad=throw them thats how I go.
Reply:Well indoors I would say only buy new shoes every season. Though when I played I had more then one pair. One pair is good enough to last you a whole season and its better on your feet once the shoes are worn in instead of having that new feel to them. So one pair a season.

Like seriously, these white basketball shoes get dirty so quick. And I've tried washing them several ways. What's an easy way to get them nice and white again?

What a good way to clean basketball shoes?
I don't think your shoes will ever be the white they were when you first bought them, but yes, you can enhance the whiteness a little by attempting bleach, but you have to be careful. If the shoes aren't so flimsy, try washing them in the washing machine because that leaves them amazingly clean. I'm serious. After you clean them, don't wear them outside. You should have a pair of basketball shoes for outdoors and one for indoors as well.

I am a 14 yr old freshman girl. I used them everyday for practice and games last year, (mon-fri), sunday open gym (2 hrs), summer league twice a week games, basketball camps (loooong hours), and daily open gym during the summer (2hrs). Should I be getting new shoes for this season? I'm 5 9 125 if that matters.

How often should I replace my basketball shoes?
Yes you definitely should. Im 16 and I play varsity for my school so I have a lot of shoes for practice, games, scrimmages, summer leagues, etc. When the grip wears out on your shoes and when they become uncomfortable, you should replace them. You should have 2 or 3 pairs of shoes for the season anyway for practice and games. Just get them cheap at the eastbay outlet or something.

Its probably because of the rubber sole. Basketball shoes are like squash shoes or any other court shoe which requires a strong grip. The squeak is audible in certain surfaces such as court and passages.

How long does it take for basketball shoes to lose their elasticity?
How often you wear them and how much you weigh and how hard you play are all factors (as well as growth) in how long your shoes last . i never had any last past 8 mens league games so it depends on the factors
Reply:Im reall yinto basketball i've been playing for 8 years and i have never heard of that. i have never worn bball shoes that long cuz i grow out of them. I would think it depends on how often you wear them and where, like outside or inside. prob also depends on how hard u play

Why are new Nike Air Max shoes ( basketball) using a smaller air max unit than what was used in the 90's?

If you look at the old basketball shoes from the mid 90's and look at the new ones there is a huge differnece in size of Air Max Unit. The new ones are not true Air Max. Does anybody know why?

Why are new Nike Air Max shoes ( basketball) using a smaller air max unit than what was used in the 90's?
Now the technology is better and Nike doesn't need to make bigger AIR max units. They waste space and are heavier on the foot. With the smaller ones it is lighter and still produces the same results. Remember size doesn't always matter.

What's the best way to make basketball shoes "skid free"?

My daughter's basketball team seems to be plagued by slips on the court. It doesn't seem to matter who is wearing what for basketball shoes: old, new, Nike, And1, they all seem to slip the same on away courts!





Some of us parents have tried spraying AquaNet on the soles, because that's what one team parent told us to, but it didn't work (maybe we used the wrong kind?). Anyway, I'm looking for ideas on how to keep them from slipping at crucial moments during the game...any ideas?

What's the best way to make basketball shoes "skid free"?
It is most likely the court. If it is dirty/dusty, the dirt or dust sticks to the bottom of the shoe, making it loose traction. Try just talking a wet cloth and wiping the bottom of the shoe before the game. If that doesn't work, use that Sole Roller. It's almost like a lint roller but it's for shoes. I used to have one and it worked really well.
Reply:Its the courts. Believe me the people that own the courts do not even care about them.

Try second-hand or "thrift" stores. Lots of times the things people donate are not used at all, or have been used only very little. This is especially true when an executor of an estate clears out personal property. They donate it because it is just too much trouble, or too wrenching emotionally, to hold a garage sale or go to a flea market to sell things. The small amount of money is just not worth the hassle.

Why should i buy expensive basketball shoes? are they any better than generic?

i am doing a persuasive speech on name brand basketball shoes and why you should buy them. i have some information but i would like some opinions on buying the brand ones compared to the generic brand.

Why should i buy expensive basketball shoes? are they any better than generic?
Upside:





Yes, there's a difference. Generic brands are usually cheap because they were cheap to make. So, brand names, like And 1 preferably, are more expensive, but yet, better quality and value. If the shoe was cheap to make, the makers usually don't support the shoes well enough. In basketball, preformance, comfort, and support are HUGE. Covering the ankles is also HUGE. Low cut basketball shoes are usually made by generic brands, mad cheap, sold cheap. Better quality is better preformance.





Downside:





If there is do difference in shoes, get cheaper brand. Although value, preformance, and support are important, saving money is too. By saving the money from shoes, you're able to get better quality apparel, like shorts or warm up jerseys.





Basically, it comes down to getting the expensive shoe, unless both brands feel the same.

Reply:i fight with my kids about this all the time but let me just leave you with this, and all this is factual. every single pair of brand name bb shoes you buy are made in a country where children are paid $1.25 per day their day is 18 hours long in working conditions that are the worlds worst. this is why my wife and kids do not shop with me because i always look to see where things are made.
Reply:Yes there is a difference. Generic brands many times may be made of the same materials as the expensive ones but sometimes the generic are more cheaply put together than the expensive ones.





Heres something you can use in your speech to that is an interesting fact. I'm sure if you have done research you have heard about the 'Starbury's' the '$15 shoes that are as good as Lebrons.' Well Marbury 'at first' claimed he would wear these during the game. The first preseason game he wore the shoes, he went out on the court played a few mintues and then sprained his ankle. I don't think he has worn them since. My experience with the starburys has been horrible as well.. its like you are wearing a boot with no support.
Reply:in some ways basketball shoes are better than others i mean they do not slide as much when running up and down the court and you can get higher when jumping because of shocks and all so yes there is a diffrence and if you want to stop sliding and all go and buy some bball shoes.
Reply:Good brands are sort of better because of the quality, but if your not into basketball that much, you should buy lower brand shoes because they are going to get beat up anyway
Reply:I never saw any difference.
Reply:The better shoes are probably made better and will probably last longer. They will be taking a lot of "abuse".
Reply:Ask some professional basketball players. Even better ask some retired basketball players, or some old coaches.
Reply:name brand basketball shoes have better gripping on the bottom of the shoe so you don't slip or slide on the court and also they have better ankle support which is really important in basketball.
Reply:the color and brand are what people want they want a long lasting goodname shoe





exspensive ones sometimes look better
Reply:Brand name shoes are usually have better quality and new technology in shoes which make you perform better. But most of the time they are overpriced shoes.
Reply:i've always have shoes between 20 and 50$ for basketball and they have worked fine my friends sometimes get more expensive pairs for style but there are cheaper and just as cool pairs

Why does the price between "big kids" sized basketball shoes and regular baskbetball shoes differ so much?

the same basketball shoes that costs more then $100 are usually $60 if you got them for "big kids" sizes.





Is it only because the size are only good for kids, or is there actually any difference in the actual shoe?

Why does the price between "big kids" sized basketball shoes and regular baskbetball shoes differ so much?
no its only because of size........material is the same
Reply:so that parents will buy the shoe for their kids. if a parent looks at a 100 dollar shoe then they're probably not going to get it. However, young people that want to be stylish are willing to fork it out to be "in and with it" or to "keep it poppin"

I am looking for good basketball shoes that have good ankle protection and that are maybe under $80.?

Hello.


I am a teen and am looking for basketball shoes that have good ankle protection and that are under $80. And I have just gotten a cast removed from my leg last week. So I was wondering which ones you have had or heard of that are good. Thank you.

I am looking for good basketball shoes that have good ankle protection and that are maybe under $80.?
Shoes themselves do not offer enough support for weak ankles. They can give you a little peace of mind if you think they help, but their effect physiologically speaking is very minute. Aircast ankle braces, lace-up ankle braces, or taping are the most effective methods of supporting ankles (in the order I have listed them).

What are the top 5 basketball shoes to buy right now??
Finding basketball shoes depends on what you think is comfortable. You need to make sure they fit nicely or they'll blister your feet. I personally love Nike basketball shoes because they're comfortable and they protect my ankles (I have bad ankles). It all just depends on what you like.

I am in need of a new pair of basketball shoes, what ones do you reccomend?

Hey, i have gone through 2 pairs of shoes in the last couple of months. My first pair, sorry i couldn't tell you what type of And 1's they were but they were a pair of high cut And 1's. They started giving me really bad blisters they were size 8. Then i recieved a pair of RBK Iversons. They were good for a couple of games and training sessions, until when ever i stopped for a couple of minutes. They started to feel like my bones had artheritis or something. it was really weird. And now i am in need of a good pair of basketball shoes. I am likeing the Nike Vandals Low cut, but i havnt ever been able to play or train in a pair of them. Could you please tell me what type of shoes. Oh i am also liking the Nike Zoom Air BB Low cut shoes. I Think "Steve Nash" wears them.





THANKS HEEPS!

I am in need of a new pair of basketball shoes, what ones do you reccomend?
Out of all the ones you liked/named i would go w/ the Nike zoom air or Nike vandals because they're pretty comfortable and a lot of hoopers wear them... i have 5 pairs of vandals too. I wear jordans when i play ball because they're really comfortable too me, but it really depends on the you/people because not all people have the same feeling/comfort when i comes too shoes/clothes....so..yea.

Reply:i recently bought a good pair of and1 slice mid cuts and they are really comfertable but i am yet to play in them as the new season has not yet started. i used 2 have a really good pair of nike force's. they were blue with a strap at the bottom of where the laces start. i had them for about 3-4 seasons and i was really suprised they wernt worn out. they were really good with how long they will last. about $130 (australia). its good to see your interested in what shoes the pros wear in the nba but there are plenty of good long lasting shoes out there that they dont wear.


good-luck!

What's the difference between casual and athletic basketball shoes?

What is the difference? I bought a pair of Nike Air Prestige basketball shoes because they fit well and they were $65. I played basketball with the shoes today and they are great.

What's the difference between casual and athletic basketball shoes?
I think casual shoe are more fashion like and athletic shoes are made the feel comfortable and durable for sport and thing of that sort.
Reply:The difference is how they're really designed and what they were intended to do.





A pair of proper athletic basketball shoes are designed to support you through the motions you'll typically go through while playing a game of basketball. This could be like more support to the arches or ankles, more cushioning to prevent impact to your joints and having a shoe sole that's designed to help you jump, land and change directions quickly and safely.





Typically, casual shoes are designed with style in mind and aren't designed necessarily to play in. Their soles, for instance, may not be designed to stablize your feet during landing from a jump and not provide extra support to your arches. They're also no designed to be as light, cushioned or supportive (in some part to lower the cost of producing the shoe).





While you can play basketball in pretty much any pair of comfortable shoes, a pair of proper basketball shoes will also help maximize your performance while lowering the likelihood of injury.

Does it matter what kind of basketball shoes i wear?

I see all these commercials and all these "features" that are inputted into the shoe...does it really make them better then a decent pair of basketball shoes?

Does it matter what kind of basketball shoes i wear?
Basketball shoes are important depending on your needs. If you have weak ankles, you definitely want extra support there. If you need arch support, if you are not properly aligned... etc. If you do not wear the correct shoes for your body, you are more prone to injury and anytime a "feature" is needed the cost will inevitably be higher. Not all injuries are instant either. Some develop over a period of time. Your shoes can have an effect on your feet, ankles, knees, back, and neck. I think good shoes are worth the investment if they will prevent injury.
Reply:yea cheap shoes do fall apart faster than those that are more expensive, but they still dont make you a better player
Reply:what do u think. let me ask u this if it didnt matter then y do asketball players all have really nice/expansive shoes nad sign big indorsment deals with shoe companies
Reply:Yes, cheap shoes fall apart easier
Reply:The brand of shoe really doesn't matter if you use them only for basketball. Paying $200.00 for something you put your feet in is just ridiculous.





I personally like low tops because they give me more mobility. High tops are good for larger guys that aren't actively running the floor.





All these major shoe companies sell moderately priced shoes for basketball. You can find Adidas,Reeboks and Nikes that aren't overpriced and that still have the name brand appeal.
