Top Basketball Shoes Ranking 10-6

10. Nike Air Max Lebron VII
People get confused, and frankly I’m confused as to what exactly is “LeBron’s” shoe.
Never the less—This is the “Air Max” LeBron VII, and regardless of whether of not the King will be wearing these, many others will be.
They have a solid look, good lines and are super light. If you are in the market for a new pair of kicks I would recommend placing these on your list.



9. Nike Hypermax
What will they think of next? Another brilliant shoe that is a spin off of the 2k4 Air Huarache, with functionality and style rolled into one.
I like how Nike went back to the Air Bubble sole. It runs the whole length of the shoe and provides maximum comfort.
Some people are not a fan of the ankle strap, and I happen to think those people are crazy. It provides a locked in feel as well as gives an ankle some support—especially for the defensive end.

8. Kobe IV
I know these have been out for a year but Kobe actually won his 4th ring in these. Nike has recently released a whole new set of Kobe IV’s that have all new color combinations.
These new flavors are sick!
Not only are these championship caliber kicks, but they are one of the lightest and most comfy shoes out there.
Speaking from experience, these low tops are some great shoes to hoop in. Now with the new colors out, you can have a pair for the court, and a pair for club.
Trust me—go get a pair.

7. Adidas TS Commander LT
The name of this shoe sounds like the model of a truck, not the new signature shoe from NBA Finals runner-up Dwight Howard.
Although some may argue Howard is as big and strong as a truck, this guy won’t argue the fact that Adidas has put some nice wheels on their Magic big rig.
I’m always a pessimist when Adidas comes out with a shoe for the court but I think they did a solid job. I wouldn’t recommend this shoe for guards, but big men will appreciate the simple style, padding and the clean colors.

6. Nike Shox Vision TB
The team shoe for the one with hops. Some people believe this shoe to be “gimmicky” but after playing in a pair, I am a believer—Not that they spring you skyward like VC back in the day, but they perform great as a basketball shoe.
The one factor that really helps this shoe climb the list is the crazy color combinations the Shox Vision TB is offered in.
Footlocker to Eastbay all carry a crazy selection and have some great deals if you’re buying in bulk for a team.
