Some Great Basketball Shoes!

Updated on March 16, 2014

Basketball Shoes that are in Great demand!

These have just go to be some of the Best Basketball Shoes around! Another season comes upon us and with it, new styles, trends, brand names and must haves kickers!

My consultant changes his shoes as many times as the seasons change, well we all know you have to keep up with the latest styles and trends!

We got great results from last year, sporting some great Nike and Adida kickers from Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan, so here's looking at the same results this season.

My nephew (consultant) still maintains that it's still all about style on and off the court, and that your going to be left behind if you don't own at least one pair of these kickers.

So we have put our heads together again, scoured the internet and sports shops to bring you some more great kickers for this season.

Have a look around and your sure to find a pair of Basketball Shoes that you like.

Your going to get noticed on the court wearing these kickers, sought after and pretty difficult to get your hands on at present, or so I am led to believe! I've been told that these are a little overpriced due to the limited amount available, and that's if you can find them, that's what happens when they are one of The Best Basketball Shoes of 2013.

Consider this before Buying your Kickers!

1. Kickers are specifically designed to give support. Always ensure that you choose basketball shoes that are going to provide ample support for your ankles and arches. A lot of players prefer the high-cut shoes as they tend to provide better protection against strains and sprains. The cushioning mid-sole is also pretty important, this adds extra support for your arches and can help prevent other injuries.

2. Don't forget to check that you are comfortable in the toe area, they should not be crowding, and you need to ensure you feel comfortable when jumping up and down or screeching to a sudden halt, and when running around.

There still hot and are still considered one of the top 10 basketball shoes for not only 2012, but are also included in 2013's top ten.

What are the Best Basketball Shoes for 2013? well, these are definitely still much sought after kickers, and considered one of the top 10 basketball shoes for not only 2012, but are also included in 2013's top ten. We recently checked a few stores out, including foot locker and they were no where to be seen! I am happy to report that we did secure a pair of Cutting Jades for my man, and he says that they are very comfortable, lighter than he imagined and has pretty good traction, in addition to that he looks pretty good on the court and is the envy of his team! Certainly one of the Best Basketball Shoes for 2013 in my book!

3. Your shoe size is a fairly important factor! Experts recommend that you should allow at least 1/4 - 1/2 inch clearance from the big toe to the end of the shoe! Always try your kickers on when standing, trying them on in the sitting position only will give you false results.

4. Lace- ups basketball shoes are considered the most common of shoes and probably one of the more sensible choices, they will provide better security and give more comfort and stability than those with velcro.

5. Material, your going to need a shoe that is durable, one that can stand all these fast and sudden movements. Modern technology provides kickers made of synthetic composite materials that can withstand more pressure than leathers, they are also lighter in weight and permits your feet to breathe better.

6. Buy your kickers later in the day, feet tend to swell throughout the day from all your activity, this should ensure a much better fit.

7. Cost and Style - Remember you get what you pay for and you also want to look good on the court! Check out what Kobe, or better still, see what Penny Hardaway is wearing then you can't go wrong.
