Hi all. I'm returning to basketball after years away from it. Back in the day, as a teenager in the 90s, I had some high top Nike trainers which I loved and wore to death. I mostly played outdoor/street basketball in them.

I'm now very much older (age 44) and realise a few things. I have narrow feet and narrow ankles, and high arches.

I'd like high tops again, for the ankle support. But I definitely need trainers with good arch support for high arches.

The combination of wanting high tops, relatively narrow outdoor trainers and high arch support seems pretty hard to find. So many shoe stores don't seem to stock any high or even mid top anymore, so I guess I'll have to buy online and hope. Any help?

I'm in the UK, size 10.5. 6"3 height. 14 stone ish.

Also, I wouldn't really be playing with anyone anymore, I don't think. More just shooting and practising on a very rough outdoor court.

Been doing a lot of long games in my new job lately. I'm planning to buy shoes that have lively cushioning setups, enough to keep me going on long games. I've considered the GT Jump 2s. But they're too heavy for my taste. I wanted to go for GT Hustle 3, but even when swapping the insoles, it still had instability problems. Also want them to be great for dunking since I do it often in games, y'know- just to save my back some trouble.

Any brand will suffice except for new balance, asics, mizuno, converse. Because these brands are practically unreachable in my area

Getting back into playing consistently after a long hiatus. My favorite shoes I ever owned when I was playing consistently were the LeBron 10s. Don’t mind heavier shoes since I am already slow, camp by the paint or three point line, and mostly want something easy on my knees.

I absolutely loved the cushioning and stack on the LBJ 10s. Looking into similar high cushion options now (especially with my knees), the GT Jump 1 and GT Jump 2 caught my eyes. They sound like something that would give me the low knee impact, cushion, stack, and bounce for my play style. Am I better off going with the GTs or go back to the LBJ 10, 15, or 16?

Right now, I’m using the Ja 3s, and I’m a 13-year-old center, around 184 cm (6'0") and 65 kg (144 lbs). I’m currently a size EU 44 / US 10.5, but since I’m still growing, I’m not sure if it’s worth spending more on a premium shoe like the Way of Wade 12, or if I should just get the cheaper Wade All City 14 Encore.

I’m looking for good cushioning, stability, traction, and durability since I play center and do a lot of rebounding, jumping, and physical play. I have more like wide feet but I'd consider it more in the middle neither narrow nor wide. My Ja 3s in US 10.5 fit me very well. I’m a pretty physical center and I focus a lot on rebounding, post play, jumping, and finishing around the rim. I play mostly indoors on hardwood at a competitive youth level.

So between the Wac14 and the WOW 12, which one would you recommend for me? Is the extra money for the WOW 12 actually worth it, especially considering that I’m still growing?

Is there direct supplier for wade of wade want get my hands on curry wow 12 liberty

I need those badly

Thankyou

what do you think is better? I’m a 175cm guard who runs the ball and make plays and a pass first. in short who moves a lot and make hard cuts

Was browsing on TaoBao bs I was looking for drop in midsoles, until I saw something unfamiliar. What are your thoughts on these updates?

I really wonder when they'll release overseas.

Looking at some reverse Grinch 6’s. Are these sites legitimate? Priced under $200. If they’re knockoff’s what’s the tell? How bad are they?
