The shoes of the players you follow

Choose the shoe of your favorite player: LeBron James, Steph Curry, Luka Dončić, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ja Morant, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Kyrie Irving, Jimmy Butler and Kobe Bryant. If you are looking for a model from last season, it is often the best opportunity: same technology, lower price.

How to choose the right basketball shoes

The choice depends on three factors: your role on the court, the surface you play on, and the type of cushioning you prefer.

• Role. Playmakers and guards and wings and perimeter players look for lightweight and responsive shoes with great traction for direction changes, like Nike Book, Nike Ja, Adidas AE, or Li-Ning Speed. Centers and big men prefer models with more support and cushioning, like Nike LeBron or Under Armour Spawn.
• Surface. For indoor parquet, rubber soles with herringbone patterns are needed, which guarantee maximum grip. For outdoor, thicker and more wear-resistant soles are needed: indoor shoes wear out quickly on asphalt.
• Cushioning. Those who want to feel the court and move fast choose low and responsive cushioning. Those who jump a lot or weigh more prefer more padding in landings.
• High or low. Low shoes are lighter and allow freedom of movement, high shoes give more ankle support feeling. It depends on your preferences and, if you have had injuries, on the advice of your doctor or physiotherapist.

The right size: how basketball shoes fit

Each brand has its own fit. In general, basketball shoes fit true to size, but some models have a narrower fit. Li-Ning tends to have a rather narrow fit: those with wide or medium-wide feet usually take half a size larger. The same applies to models like Nike Book 2 and Nike Ja 4. Have doubts? Write to us on WhatsApp before ordering: we tell you the right size based on the chosen model. You can also try them in our stores in Varese, Legnano, and Trieste.

Frequently asked questions about basketball shoes

What is the best basketball shoe brand? There is no single answer: it depends on your playing style and budget. Nike and Jordan dominate the market with NBA champions' signature shoes. Adidas offers great alternatives with the AE and Dame lines. Li-Ning is the most underrated brand: excellent technologies at competitive prices. Puma with LaMelo Ball's MB line is the most original choice at the moment.

How to choose the right size for basketball shoes? In general, basketball shoes fit true to size, but some models like Li-Ning, Nike Book 2, and Nike Ja 4 tend to be narrower and require half a size larger. If in doubt, write to us on WhatsApp before ordering: we tell you the right size based on the chosen model.

Which basketball shoes to choose based on role? For playmakers, guards, and perimeter players, lightweight and responsive shoes with great traction are good. For wings, centers, and physical players, models with more support and cushioning are better. You can find choices for each role in the collections for guards, wings and perimeter players, centers, and big men.

Basketball shoes Nike or Jordan: what is the difference? Jordan is a Nike sub-brand focused on NBA champions' signature shoes: Luka Dončić, Jayson Tatum, Zion Williamson. Nike Basketball produces both signature models (LeBron, KD, Giannis, Sabrina) and non-signature performance models. Both use the same technologies (Air Zoom, ZoomX, Cushlon): the choice depends on the player who inspires you.

Better high or low basketball shoes? Low shoes are lighter and freer, high shoes give more ankle support feeling. The choice depends on your preferences and playing style. If you have had ankle injuries, ask your doctor or physiotherapist's advice.

What is the difference between indoor and outdoor basketball shoes? Indoor shoes have a soft rubber sole with maximum grip on parquet but wear out quickly on asphalt and concrete. For outdoor courts, thicker and abrasion-resistant soles are needed. Choose based on the surface you play on most.

Can basketball shoes be used every day? Yes: many basketball shoes have an aesthetic that works off the court as well, especially lifestyle Jordan and Puma MB models. For daily use on asphalt, consider models with more abrasion-resistant soles: indoor shoes wear out quickly on hard surfaces.

How much do basketball shoes cost? Prices depend on model and brand: adult basketball shoes in our catalog range approximately from 70 to 190 euros, with many Nike, Jordan, and Adidas models around 100-130 euros. Previous season models are often more convenient with the same technology.

Can I try basketball shoes before buying? Yes: you can try them in our stores in Varese, Legnano, and Trieste. If you buy online, you have 30 days for returns, and on WhatsApp we help you choose the right size.
