I really liked Jordan Melo M13. I have problem with my right ankle does these shoes have good support for it?
If you need solid support then Melo M13 isn’t for you. They have weak support setup (no heel counter) and the ankle area support not that good either. So for you I recommend to pick the BRANDBLACK FUTURE LEGEND – outstand support. They will keep your problematic ankle safe and secure.
Hi Daumantas,
These are a very nice new selection of basketball sneakers. I like #4 Nike Lebron 14 because I look for the comfort and support. I love the look on the #1 Adidas and like that it has comfort. For the use of a basketball, sneaker traction is important which I would consider as well.
Great post. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Rosa!
Very nice choices you made 🙂 These two sneakers are my fav too! 2017 just started so my TOP10 list will be different at the end of the year, but I think that the adidas Crazy Explosive will stay in it (maybe not in #1 place but somewhere close to it). 🙂
I appreciate it.
Awesome TOP7! You’re the first one who made an early look of the best basketball shoes of 2017.It seems like Adidas is killing right know.
The review is spot on.
Thanks!
Great to hear you like it! Oh yeah… Adidas is killing the shoe game right now, facts.
I am confused between adidas Crazy and Nike Zoom Live 2017 so please help me to choose best basketball shoes,
Thanks in Advance.
Both of these two gear toward completely different play styles. So in order to help you out, tell me more about your play style. What’re your go-to moves? Your physique (weight, height)?
Which basketball shoe would you recommend for a heavier player that needs good shock absorbing and help improve quickness…
The Nike LeBron 16 is all you need bro.
