Just asking, but what do y'all think is the best shoe as far as durability for outdoor? I balled in the Bron 3's forever outside and those things were tanks. Any good suggestions?

The grip on these shoes are amazing. I've put these shoes through hell & they are still holding up. They are a little on the heavy side but it doesn't bother me one bit.

YO!!! Darwins are AMAZING for outdoor ball. I had a tan/green pair a wore regularly for nearly 5 years. Odd thing is mine didnt have a visable air bubble like most of the other pairs I have seen.



Currently I use my '04 Altitude XIIIs and CDP black/red XVIs. I also keep a pair of trashed blk/cement 3s in my trunk just in case, but the soles are so worn out and glazed over they are all but useless on an indoor court.

I wanna say Nike Dominate XD because those are made specifically for outdoor ball. The leather is tougher than your typical hoop shoes and the rubber on the soles are hard as rocks. Plus, there's a tag on the inside that says "For Outdoor Use."

where are some good spots to hoop outdoor in miami?

It depends in what part of Miami you at.
-I would say JMP, that's a park by downtown that's under I-95 and next to it there's a gym and an indoor court that's on the second floor
-or Curtis Park which is in Allapattah and is kinda close to the new Marlins stadium.

What size do ya'll buy in ball shoes? Especially for those rocking the hyperfuse, did you size up a lot? I bought .5 size up, and they don't feel super tight, but every time I play I mess up the big toe on only my right foot. The rest of my toes/feet feel fine though, so I'm not sure if it's the shoe or the toe.

I use the Hyperfuse and I went a .5 size up as well. But because I double sock and the Hyperfuses are kinda narrow my pinky toes always rub against the side of the shoe. They're great to ball in though, I've had them for over a month and have no other negative comments about them.




As for the person who asked about some good outdoor ballin shoes. I would have to say you can't go wrong with the Sharkleys. The ride is amazing, it has dual zoom air units (in the forefoot and the heel) making the shoes unbelievably comfortable. The lockdown that you get from the straps is superb, your ankles are not going anywhere. And the sole is very durable as well. I had an all black pair that lasted me almost 2 years and I balled exclusively outdoors in them, they were built like an Abrams tank.

I've been using the Spalding Never Flat for outdoors and it's been pretty good. It's kind of expensive for an outdoor ball, but if you play enough it's worth it.
