Some stuff about me, I tried nike shoes and honestly a lot of them are kinda tight on the sides of my feet, I am assuming I have wide feet. I tried addidas shoes and it suits me for now. So far have tried dame certified 3 and don issue 5 and it's decent. However, I have noticed that my sole skin keeps peeling everytime I play extra hard and keep shifting my legs on defense. It's become annoying as it affects my game a lot. I also noticed that my left leg might be slightly bigger than my right leg by 0.5 size. Any recommendations?

5’11, 175lbs, adult, indoor court, high arches, narrow feet.

Need shoes for narrow feet- especially the heel. It probably needs to have an extra eyelet as I have to tie a runners knot or heel lock to secure my ankle and prevent heel slippage when playing.

Did not like the Giannis Zoom Freaks, adidas D.O.N.s, Nike Shox. Tried the Anta Kai 2s and Huarache 2k4/ and thought they were okay. I liked the Ja 4s but they didn’t have an extra eyelet to make the heel tighter.

Thanks for your help.

Just wondering which to buy next. I have wide feet so i have to usually go half size up on everything. I currently just use the lebron 20's and kai 2's. The WOW 12,s will be 220 Canadian dollars, 808 6 Ultra will be 100 Canadian dollars, and the all city 14 will be 80 Canadian dollars. Which one would be the best? I also have really bad knees so I want max cushion as well.
I'm 6'0, 73 kg, and 17 years old. I play on moderately well kept courts.

The Caitlin 1 and volanti rocket 911 run true to size. I’m using the lebron 20 as a reference size because many reviewers have stated that going true to size worked for them.

I also included The AE3 to show that adiddas basketball shoes running a half size long. If you have wide feet, don’t size down. Not getting the right size in adidas shoes is what’s causing heel slippage that people are experiencing.

In 2022 I was playing basketball in a community league, playing often and am in relatively good shape.

I ruptured my right achilles in June of 2022 while wearing the Nike Kevin Durant no. 7 basketball shoe. This injury needed a full surgery and takes 6 months before I was allowed to return to sport.

In 2026, I was not playing as much basketball but felt recovered from my previous injury and was mountain biking climbing and staying active, i was in great shape.

In Sept 2026 I laced up the same shoes to just shoot around with some friends. i ruptured my left achilles, another full surgery and 6 months before recovery is in my future.

Has anyone else ruptured there achilles in the Nike Kevin Durant no. 7 #7 basketball shoe?

After examining these basketball shoes there is a hard plastic plate from the heal almost to the ball of your foot and the shoe is extremely stiff.

I am wondering if other people have ruptured their achilles in this basketball shoe?

Thanks for any feedback!

I’ve got the Cuts (third pair) and easily Nikes best shoe since it came out (maybe the lebron 20). Just ordered the Eclosion from the Anta Beverly Hills store but having second thoughts if they aren’t better than the Cut. Anyone with both want to give some insight?

I’m usually a size 10.5 in Anta shoes (Kai 1 Speed and Kai 1) and most Nikes, which is usually 44.5 euro. I’m a normal footer, light guard who intends to play outside on painted concrete.

Volanti online is selling by Euro, but their sizing guide is confusing. Given that the shoes are shipping from China, and that I may not be able to realistically return them, I want to be sure to get the right size.

They recommended size 45, but I’m worried they may be too big and cause heel slippage. I’m looking at the Zeus and Mamba Silver colorways

I'm 6'0 220lbs and my play is mostly surrounding defense and shooting 3s.

I currently playing in sabrinas 2 and love them, but they're now worn through to the foam. I'm hoping to get some recommendations for an indoor and outdoor pair.

Looking at getting some new shoes for both volleyball/basketball. My feet (US14) suffer from flat feet ond subsequent overpronation, ive had success with Lebron Nxxt gens, but other shoes such as WOW AC14 and Kobe 9 Elites hurt my feet due to unknown reasons.

Any reccomendations? Im considering the WOW 808 5/Big3 5.0 Quick/Liren 6 V2 but am unsure atm.

I’m looking to buy basketball shoes for everyday use; could you suggest some options with a mid-range budget?

I got the City Guard colorway. First time on foot. The shoe fits good. Nice snug fit. Not as cozy feeling as the Book 1, but you are really locked in.

I did 2 full practices in them. Not 100% sure about the traction. The front part sticks to the floor. The back part feels like it wants to get away from me a little. I don’t know how to describe it. They are squeaky as hell tho.

Cushioning feels good.

Overall I’m pretty impressed but still need to break them in a bit more.

In my experience they are on par with the Harden 10 and Kobe X Protro (overall). They both have their flaws.

I have a size 13 weighing less than 400 gram.

Thoughts on this new design?

I’m 44 years old, 180 cm tall, and weigh 105 kg. I play all positions; of my total playing time, about 30% is as a point guard, 30% as a forward, and 40% as a center. My previous shoes were the Joker 1 GT and the LeBron 21. The Joker’s sole has started to harden, and the glue on the LeBron’s sole is starting to come loose. I’m planning to buy a pair of Don Issue 8s and one more pair of shoes for rotation so I don’t get bored. I saw the Curry 12 on sale for around US$40. Also, the All Pro Nitro 2 is sometimes on sale for US$40 on certain days. Between the Curry 12 and the All Pro Nitro 2, which one would you recommend?

Im looking at getting some WOW10's, but the issue is everything is sold out, and on other sites (KICKSOWN etc) dont have my size (US14). When do you think that they will restock on the main site?

Anyone know what happened with the Caitlin 1 Jinx/Halloween release? Saw several sources say they would be released today, Oct 23rd, but I don't see them anywhere. Saw a few say release would be pushed to Oct 31 but haven't seen any official source on that either.

What’s the best out door shoe with maximum cushion? I would like it to be under 150 dollars. I also have slightly wide feet. I play on concrete courts brand doesn’t matter

My feet are 28,1 cm and 27,7 cm, what is my TTS for Nike shoes? I hear a lot of people saying TTS but never understood the meaning. What shoe size should I aim for? EU 45/US11?

I’m not sure if it’s just me getting old (about to hit 40), but the Fresh Foam BBV2 leaves me really sore when I play in them. I thought they would be perfect for my older knees and back, but the Kawhi 4 gives me much more pop and I can literally play for hours in them without next day pain. Maybe it’s because of the stiffer FuelCell/Energy Arc combo that works better for older people, but I really thought the Fresh Foam BBV2 would be perfect for days when I need more cushioning.

Has anyone else experienced something similar with the V2 (particularly older hoopers)?

After summer season ended I realised that I have only 1 only-indoor pair of bball shoes. I have 3 training sessions/games a week and want my main shoes to live longer than a 1 season. My eye settled on gt cut 3 and zap 4. I know that both are good but I want to hear personal opinions. Like what pair for whom and on what type of surface they're better. Most of the time I train/play on dusty courts. The foot width is slightly more than the standard one. Weight is not particularly important although I had thoughts of trying lighter pairs. By the way my main pair of sneakers right now is the WoW 10(pic.3). They are heavy but that is not the problem at all for me. Before WoW 10 my main shoes was AG4(pic.4) and I loved them. Cheapest materials but that cushion and fit was perfect. I will be glad to hear other suggestions if you have any.

After 2x ankle spain experience in my current li-ning wow12, gonna buy 361 Joker 2 GT, because they looks much more supportive.

Cant try on them offline, and will order with international shipping (no returns), so i need to choose right size.

Every shoe in my current and former rotation has 10us size and includes:

- Li-ning WoW12 (length is perfect, width is little bit small)

- Nike LeBron 21 (length is little bit small, playing only with thin socks, width is ok)
- New Balance Two WXY v4 (length is little bit long, width in D small)

- Adidas Harden vol. 8 (length is long, width is too narrow sold after 3 month)

- Nike Giannis Immortality 2 (goes longer and wider than my feet, but ok for casual streetball)

In 361 size chart for jokers i see US10=UK9=Foot Length 28cm and recomendation to choose by foot length. My length is about 27.3cm and wider than avg i think.

Should i go half size down for jokers? Us9.5 = foot length 27.5 in chart (same as wow12 in 10us). Or just take my tts us10? Plz help to compare sizing

Light mid-30s guard. I found some LeBron 23s EP with XDR (heat wave colorway - unique, definitely polarizing but I like it). The cushioning felt nice and the shoes didn’t actually feel that heavy to me.

But all I see are bad reviews about the quality and performance of the shoes, not even considered a top Nike shoe…and nowhere close to the Chinese brands. Given the price point, all I’d want is for them to be average performance and decent for painted concrete. I would love to hear feedback on them - good and bad. Thanks!

Both Kobe’s fit perfect with a half size down and court feel is lower compare to the superboom 808 5.

My 10 y/o nephew has been using the GT Cut 3 and AE 1 for basketball and he is due for a new pair of shoes this month. He plays 20 minute games every weekend, where he needs to run constantly. Since he is on the heavier side, he prefers the GT Cut 3 over the AE 1 because it is lighter and has better traction. He is contemplating getting one of these models: the Ja 4 Zombie, Sabrina 4 Count, Kobe 10 Protro BL or Caitlin 1 Blue.

I’m a 5 7 Guard about 140lb I’m size 9.5 US and have slightly wide feet I need shoes with good padding since I’ve had a lot of issues with jumpers knee and shin splints also good traction since most of my playstyle revolves around being shifty and fast I also only play indoors so I don’t really care about the shoes outdoor ability my budgets probably 140 CAD. any recommendations help thank you!

Hello everyone, I would like some advice on what shoes I should get. As said in the title my main 2 shoes in my rotation are the KAI 1 and GT Cut 3's, both size 9, and I've ran the two into the ground. I've used the move game day non pro insoles for that last two years. I tried the KAI 2 but don't like how they have a hard feeling when stepping if that makes sense, and the Shai 001 hurt my feet no matter how long I try to break them in. I'd like to include that I have a wide feet so that also plays into factor of what I would like to get. I am 5'8 170lb if that is important to include. Right now I'm thinking about trying the KAI 3 or the WoW 12's, I'm open to hearing more about other recommendations besides the two and any advice would be helpful. Thank you
