Best Basketball Shoes of 2025

"I got these for my guy who's a huge Nike shoe fan. He absolutely loved them! They were the best holiday gift he received. The look and fit are great, and the size 11 is true to size. Although they weren't cheap, they're worth the price."

"I asked my 15-year-old nephew what he wanted for Christmas, and he said he wanted these for basketball. He opened them early because his other shoes were hurting him, and he was so happy! They look great! I’m really pleased with how happy he is."

"I played in these just once, and it was terrible! My toe had the skin ripped off. The shoe is incredibly stiff, and the toe box feels a bit narrow, so I’d recommend going up at least half a size. I had high hopes for these Ja Morant shoes, but they were disappointing."

"I love these shoes! My son has low arches, and his orthotics fit perfectly. They are pediatrician approved for support, and the value is amazing. Great traction and they look fantastic!"

"I've been an Under Armour fan for a while, and these shoes do not disappoint. They are super comfortable with plenty of support, and the style is on point. I even ordered a second pair!"

"These shoes are a fantastic deal. They are durable, easy to clean, and after some time, they become even more comfortable as they mold to my feet. Excellent for wide feet!"

"I find these sneakers to be well made and very comfortable. They fit true to size and my 13-year-old wears them almost daily! I'm definitely getting another pair after his next growth spurt."

"I really like these sneakers. They are very comfortable and seem to be well constructed. I would definitely recommend them."

"The shoes look fantastic. I did have a small issue with one shoe being a bit tight, but it should break in nicely. Other than that, everything is great!"

“My son plays basketball, and he finds these sneakers very comfortable with great traction on the court. They are true to size.”

“I had a frustrating experience with my order. Despite ordering my son's usual size, they were uncomfortable and hard to put on. I returned them immediately on 12/6, and the seller received them on 12/10. Yet, as of today, 12/11, I still haven't received my refund. When I contacted Amazon, they said it was a third-party seller and their policy is to issue refunds only after 14 days, which seems unreasonable. My son has to go to basketball practice without proper shoes because I'm waiting for my money back to buy another pair. It's disappointing that the seller acknowledged the return but hasn't processed my refund yet. Amazon customer support was also unhelpful, stating they couldn't assist with third-party sellers. I trust Amazon, but this experience has left me quite disappointed.”

“I find them very comfortable for walking and sports, and the color is perfect.”

"I fell in love with these shoes at first sight. Purple rain baby! They are comfortable and of fantastic quality."

"The color and style are exactly what my grandson wanted. He says they are very comfortable."

"I discovered some items were missing. Typically, new Nike shoes come wrapped in paper, but the ones I received were not. I'm questioning if the product is truly new."

"I think these shoes are very nice. They're white, so I have to be careful not to get them dirty, but when I wear them sparingly, they look great. They are super comfortable."

"I ordered these shoes and everything arrived perfectly. However, the wrapping paper for the shoes was missing, but other than that, all was well."

"I bought these as Christmas gifts and they were a hit! The delivery was really fast, and I believe these shoes are timeless in style!"

"At first, I was unsure about these shoes, but as I continued to wear them, they really grew on me. Initially, they felt a bit stiff, but now they seem to mold to my foot. I also noticed that the mesh design is actually see-through, which wasn't a concern for me since they're court shoes. Overall, they offer excellent ankle and Achilles support and fit true to size."

"I've found these shoes to be a great alternative to other brands. I've played a couple of outdoor basketball games in them, and they've performed wonderfully. They didn't turn me into a superhero, but I appreciate the great traction and comfort. They gave me enough support to make quick turns and stops, and I didn't slip at all on smooth surfaces. The color and breathability are impressive, with no hot spots or bad rubs."

"I purchased these shoes for my son in November 2023, and he started wearing them in April. Unfortunately, they have become completely torn after just two months of use. I'm really disappointed with their durability."

"My job requires a lot of standing and walking, and these shoes have been a life saver. They provide great support for my weak ankles and are also fashionable."

"I bought these for my child's youth basketball and I've heard they have great style and comfort. They seem to work well!"

"As a former basketball player, I prefer these shoes for pickleball. They offer stability and help prevent sprains. They are also quite affordable compared to other brands, and I appreciate the roomy toe box."

“I really love the style of these shoes, and they're so comfortable! Whenever I wear them with my matching Nike suit, I feel great. I'm very happy with my purchase. Thanks, Amazon!”

“The color of these shoes caught my attention, as I was looking for a pair with a tan-ish scheme. I mistakenly thought they were leather, but they're all fabric. Despite that, they're a great pair of shoes since I don’t have to worry about creasing.”

“I bought these sneakers as a Christmas gift, so I can't say much about them yet. However, I was curious why I had to pay tax on them. Normally, wearable items like clothing or footwear under $175 aren’t taxed.”

"My daughter absolutely loves these shoes! She finds them comfortable and feels stable while wearing them."

"For me, they fit true to size. I think they look great and feel very snug during play. I'm not a fan of LeBron, but these shoes are fantastic!"

"I took a chance on these shoes for my son, and he is going to be thrilled! They arrived on time and were just as pictured and described. Perfect fit!"
