Can anyone direct me to a website for reviews?

Or suggestions on shoes? My shoes are finally wearing out after 6 years, need a new pair.

not sure about reviews. but i can suggest the kobe zoom. i have two pairs of the IV but i'm sure the V is more or less the same. as far as comfort, they are great. they are super light and helps you move a lot quicker. downsides are durability and for some, ankle support because it's low top. as far as durability goes, if a pair lasted you 6 years then i wouldn't worry about it too much. lol. and for the ankle support, not a problem in my opinion. i've rolled my ankles many many times with many regular basketball shoes and it doesn't matter. when you roll an ankle, you roll an ankle. just gotta be careful when you play.

If you can get a hold of a pair of these, they're awesome.

The Nike Zoom Huarache 2004 are my favourites.

Zoom Kobe I was awesome too.

I think basketball shoes depend on personal preference...The best choice for you is to go to a Footlocker/Champs/Nike Town and just try on different shoes and walk around in them and try to see which one feels the best for you... I've heard good reviews on the Zoom Kobe's but I personally don't like the way they feel. It also depends on your foot shape as well etc etc.

P.S: I think Footlocker or Champs is having their Friends and Family sale this month.. (I think) so you can wait it out and go get some shoes with 30% off :)

I've been playing basketball since I was 15, and even played Pro in Europe for a season, and the best basketball shoe I have ever put on my feet is the new Nike Hyperize.
I currently own 3 pairs of Hyperize shoes in different colors, and a few other basketball shoes as well.

I'm a shooting guard so this shoe gives me everything, the sole is very flexible which is the most important thing to a guard, so I get good lateral movement, stability, and it's the lightest basketball shoe around. Only thing that sucks about the shoe is weak ankle support, but that doesn't bother me because I wear ankle braces.

The newer model would be the Air Max Hyperize, same thing except a bit heavier because of the air bubbles on the soles. I'm currently trying to get ahold of the Air Max hyperize below in the last 3 pics but they aren't on sale yet.

Damn those new hyperize looks nice. Too bad I wouldnt be able to wear them for bball. :(


For basketball shoes, (assuming your buying the shoes to play ball) its personal preferences, how well you can move in them, and are you relaxed in them (in the shoes for a long time)

I would look at the ankle support (do you need it, or does your ankle have to be free?, is there a thick or thin sole etc.

I am currently wearing the kobe zooms. I like it because its hella light. The bad thing about it is the soles pretty thick. ( I like shoes that are not elevated)

Promodel 3g's the old ones are the best, I used them since grade 8 and just finished grade 12 with em but if you want more ankle support hyperizes and hurache 2k5 or 4's are solid

I went to bellis fair in the summer when they retroed the blacks and picked them from footlocker right when they opened for $139 I believe. I copped the Atlantic's off a friend from nike talk that bought them for me from NY as part of their quick strike sale. I copped the miami heat edition off ebay for $100. I wouldn't mind picking up the all whites if I can find them for cheap to ball in. Penny 2's are comfy :thumbsup:

My bball shoes are in Canada, I can't really take pics.

I have a pair of Huarache 2004 that were already posted here, and Lebron umm.. not sure. I'd have to look at the whole Lebron collection to know. Anyone have a link?

Oh I also have a pair of AF25... They are like the Cadillac of bball shoes.. Very plush and comfortable, but heavy and clunky. Wish I would have waited until the low-tops came out :(

Hey guys,

Solecollector.com has the best basketball shoe reviews out. http://solecollector.com/live/category/kicksology/

http://solecollector.com/live/kicksology/performance-review-nike-zoom-kd2/

I currently am rocking both the KD2 and the KobeV in all blue. The reviews say that the KD2 could very likely be the best shoe of the season which is unbelievable considering they come at such a cheap price. Although, they are not the greatest looking shoe in the world, I would have to agree. I love them.

KobeV's are very lightweight and great for agile guards, however, the main reason I bought them is because they are the best looking shoe on the current market imo.

actually they are a really supportive shoe. they might not look like it but once you wear them youll feel that the cushioning at the ankle is really comfortable and will keep you from rolling your ankle, they are also really light and have great grip

I got the LBJ VII about 2 months ago and so far I love it

It's extremely lightweight and very flexible (but it does have a break-in period)

The 360 airbag system on it has great impact protection, when you land the impact is distributed throughout the whole shoe and you can feel it for sure, I've gone through a lot of bball shoes but my feet tend to hurt afterwards ... but with these they seem ok

Also ~ I also have the Zoom Kobe Vs and they are amazing too ... the two pairs of shoes feel very different but it's kinda hard to compare cause I don't know how to explain it very well

I think with the ZoomV it's more bouncy whereas the LBJ VII feels more like cushioning ... I happen to prefer the cushioning more just cause my feet hurt less after a long game ~ they both have great traction but one thing in favour of Kobe's is that it has better ventilation ... VIIs tend to heat up a little more than the ZoomVs

lastly ... the LBJs look great I think but I don't think you can go wrong with either shoe

There was a recent article about high tops vs low tops and statistically there was no difference in rolling ankles. It comes down to personal preference, and the current trend in the NBA is going away from high tops to low tops. Look at the number of big men wearing low tops now to have the extra quickness and flexibility.

I went from Nike high top Shox to Kobe Vs and the difference is fantastic. The Shox are just too heavy and clunky, the Kobe Vs are so light and allow much more foot movement.

I had considered LeBrons yet wanted to try a low top since many of the NBA big men are making a switch. I don't think I'm going back to a high top.

NBA Players who wear low cuts will tape up their ankles. Most recreational players will not.

NBA Players who wear low cuts will tape up their ankles. Most recreational players will not.

The Hyperize are by far my favourite, but after a while it feels like the sole becomes less comfortable and the bottom of my foot starts to hurt. I play the 2 position

I haven't tried on any new basketball shoe since except for my little bro's kobe V they are pretty comfortable, but I think the and1 tai chi still holds the top spot for me

HYPERFUSE (http://solecollector.com/Sneakers/News/Performance-Review-Nike-Zoom-Hyperfuse/)

HYPERIZE (http://solecollector.com/Sneakers/News/Performance-Review-Nike-Hyperize/)

HYPERDUNK (http://solecollector.com/Sneakers/News/Nike-Hyperdunk-Performance-Review/)

I would prefer the Hyperfuse.

I've tried the Hyperize and, as a guard, I hated them....They sit very loose way too high up on the ankle. It was a really awkward feeling, didn't seem like it was for players who do a lot of lateral movement. That said, the hyperdunks seem like they are pretty much exactly like the hyperize, just a different exterior look.

The Hyperfuse seems like a much better fit for guards.

Finally picked up the Hyperfuse today and my buddy grabbed a pair of Kobe VI. The Hyperfuse felt so much better compared to the Hyperdunks when I tried them on. The Hyperfuse fits like a glove and the ankle cushion feels so nice and pillowy, where as the Hyperdunks felt ridged and hard. I don't really understand the whole Flywire thing; it didn't feel that great and it was loose too. Saw the KD3's too and they kinda caught my eye, didn't have a chance to try them on though and there was only the OKC colour.

yay or nay

Anyone know where I can get a pair of Jordan 2010's? I only saw them at sportchek and didn't have my size.

The flywire technology is just to give you that ultimate light-weight shoe, however, I agree with you; It feels very rigid and hard and does not wrap around my foot the way I would want it too.

I miss the Adidas days :-(

Under light the Christmas edition ones got a silver effect, looks so sick

Exchanged my Hyperfuse for KD3's today since the Hyperfuse were too small and no other sizes were left. Grabbed the last pair of KD3's and they fit pretty well to my feet, gonna try em out later tonight. One negative is that these shoes are a fucking bitch to put on. I thought the hole on the tongue would make things easier, but no; need to use a shoe horn + the hole on the tongue.

If KD3's are anything like the KD2's, I highly recommend!!
