I need a good basketball shoe.....

whats the best shoe out right now that has good ankle support. I weigh about 175lbs if that matters.

Need to be quick... not a center. I mostly shoot but want something thats light so I can drive in like at 50mph

thanks.

I have some Hyperdunks.... is that still the best shoe out??

I know this is a Nike board, but i'm loving the Adidas TS Creators. If you gotta go Nike, I still rock my BB2 and they're pretty damn awesome.

Looks like I would devastate my ankles in those.

I have really bad ankles, they tend to roll easily.



The height of a shoes has little to do with the ankle stability. Its more how the foot is locked down with the forefoot and heel. Kobe 4's are very nice.

When I was 175 I rolled my ankles constantly but once I breached the 200 mark I very rarely roll mine (knock on wood). I wish the Kobe's sold in TN that way I could at least try them like Mister Friendly said but right now for me is the Hyperdunk. You should try on these & see how they feel.




There is a difference between these & the black Lows. Hope that helps.

zoom soldier is deff nice but ankle support isnt solid on those. like people said kobe iv and v are the best shoes out but if you don't trust your anklesstay with your hyperdunks or try bb1 or bb2, bb3 aint good

YOU ARE NOT MORE LIKELY TO ROLL YOUR ANKLE IN LOW CUT SHOES.


Do you still need more clarification?


I've been playing in lows my entire basketball life, since I was 14, I have never once rolled my ankle.

If you're terrified about a possible injury, go grab an xbox controller and play some halo. Otherwise, the Kobe V is the best performance shoe out. Maybepick up a ankle wrap from Adidas if you want some insurance.
