My friend bought some Kobe's during the fall, and then he bought a new pair during the winter and gave me his other pair. Really comfortable and a nice shoe all around. However I don't know the price. Better than anything I used back in highschool though.

Adidas pro model. I have a pair and they're as good as you can get without the price of most "pro models". The styling isn't as good as kobes or lebrons but if your playing in them it doesn't matter

Obviously the shoe doesn't make the player, but you can't deny that playing in some nice high-tops meant for the court is better than playing in a pair of sperries or something. And even then, some basketball shoes are lighter weight or more comfortable than others. Dude's just looking for some feedback.

Ha, and I bet you did not play high school basketball? Basketball shoes, provide way more ankle support, than your conventional running or tennis shoe.

Yeah, if your feet are super thin then for sure get hyperfuses. They're stupid light and surprisingly durable.

no but some offer much better support for your ankle while still being light.

some schools do help you play better, and they are more durable.

If you can play basketball, then you will notice the difference while playing if you are not using a basketball shoe, there not gonna make you better, but they are gonna make you be able to move around a lot more, make quick stops and stay on your toes a lot better. but if you dont play, or are bad at it, you are not gonna notice.

yeah I don't think you can ever go wrong with kobe's, they're comfortable and I kind of like the low to mid top shoes better. I found this site http://www.squidoo.com/best-basketball-shoes-men a few months back and I got the Air Jordan Fly Wade's and I love them. I don't ball very much but so far they've held up pretty well and they're damn comfortable.
