Quality
NBA Basketball Shoes
It is important that NBA basketball shoes offer durability, support, stability and shock absorption. The
shoes need to absorb abrupt stopping, jumping, quick starting and side to side movements.
Basketball players select shoes according to the position they play. Power players prefer high cut shoes with good
cushioning and stability. Smaller, fast players choose lightweight shoes with good support and flexibility. Mid cut
shoes are usually a good choice for these players.
Features to consider:
1. High top shoes provide maximum ankle support. This style is preferred by power players.
2. Mid top styles are usually worn by fast players.
3. Low cut styles are lightweight, but are usually not selected by players.
4. Material for the upper is generally leather or synthetic leather. Synthetic uppers are becoming more popular.
Synthetic mesh uppers allow for breathability and flexibility.
5. A good lacing system helps stabilize the feet.
6. Material for midsoles is usually made of EVA, which offers lightweight cushioning.
7. Rubber outsoles with special patterns allow for good traction.
Basketball shoes promoted by NBA star players are selected
by young people to make a fashion statement.
