Purchasing basketball shoes can be an extremely difficult task. This holds even more true when you are in the market for basketball shoes. Basketball shoes are very tough to shop for simply because there are so many brands and styles to choose from, but I have narrowed it down to the top 5 most comfortable basketball shoes on the market.
1. Kobe IV – The Kobe IV’s hold a special place in my heart. I have always been a fan of low-top basketball shoes, and these add to the great comfort that they already supply. While they do not breathe as well as other shoes do, they still do a fine job. Where they shine is in stability and response time. If I wanted to make a quick move on the basketball court, there isn’t any one shoe that I would prefer over the Kobe IV’s.
2. Nike Air Max LeBron VII- Let me start off with the bad side of this shoe first. I used this shoe and slowly realized that they wear down rather quickly. I had only been using them a couple months and they already had worn down to not being that comfortable anymore. Small inconvenience though. This shoe is absolutely awesome. The cushioning is great, it feels great whether you are in or outdoors, I had great stability while using this shoe, need I go on? If you are looking for a great comfortable shoe, I would not blame you for getting the LeBron VII, as they are extremely comfortable.
3. Nike Hyperdunk – These are some of the most lightweight, comfortable shoes that money can buy. The Nike Hyperdunk is one of my favorite shoes of all-time and I still use my pair on occasion even today! Of all the shoes I have ever worn, I don’t think that there are any other shoes out there that have the ankle support that the Hyperdunks do.
4. Jordan CP3.iv – Here is a shoe that is built for speed and quickness, but still maintains a comfort level that places itself on this list. This shoe has a great amount of comfort without sacrificing any speed. The CP3.iv shoes provide some of the best support and comfort that money could buy and I 100% recommend purchasing these shoes if you are looking for a comfortable basketball shoe.
5. Chuck Taylor All-Stars – While these are nowhere near as popular as they used to be, they are still one of the most comfortable basketball shoes of all time and deserve a spot on the top 5 most comfortable basketball shoes. I remember when I was young and I would strictly use only Converse’s All-Stars as they were the only shoe that was remotely comfortable enough to wear while playing basketball. While they might not be in style anymore, they are still some of the most comfortable basketball shoes I have ever worn.
