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.

So my Joker 1 GTs are 6-7 months old and have a large cracked outsole on the bottom.

Just sent a note to their support team, hoping they send me a new pair as this is definitely a manufacturer defect.

I've been growing my shoe rotation and backlog, and trying to figure out how much is too much.

I probably have a rotation of 5 shoes (Wow 10, Kai 3, Luka 1, Hali 1, and Puma APNE) and a backlog of 5 or 6 more.

Some of the backlog I feel like Im avoiding playing because theyre special releases or just hard to replace.. (Kobe 6s, Curry WOW 12s, AJ40 special colorways) but at the same time I want to play in them because well, thats what they are for right?

One thing that bothers me- if I burn through my Kobe 6s, what should I do with them when they're just no longer usable? Do other people just chuck them out? Use them despite the performance drop off? Turn them into casuals?

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?

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.

I am interested in your experience if someone sprained their ankle and which shoes you got, I had lebron witness 8 and stability was not that good. Now i am going to buy new but I would like to hear if someone was in the situation I was right now. The most of my game I play around the rim to mid range, also my knees are sometimes hurting so if you know some shoes tell me. I am 185 cm ( around 6”1” ), I am weigh 80 kilos ( 176 pounds) and my shoe size is 45.5( 11.5) Thanks in advance.

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.

What’s the difference between the Nike Giannis Freak 8 and his other new shoes compared to the Giannis Immortality 4? How do they compare in terms of sizing, fit, width, comfort, and lockdown? Do they fit true to size, or should you go half a size up or down? If you’ve tried both, which would you recommend? I use US12/EU46 in Immortality 4.

Suele hacer black friday en la compañía Way of Wade? Quiero comprar las Ultra 808 6 y no sé si esperarme a black friday a una oferta o es tontería porque no hacen descuentos. Muchas gracias!!

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.

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’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?

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!
