Top 10 Best Basketball Shoes of All Time

Over the years, some have reached legendary status: worn by icons, embraced by sneakerheads, and remembered long after their time on the hardwood.This list brings together the best basketball shoes ever made. Some revolutionized performance, introducing cutting-edge technology that changed how the game was played. Others turned heads with designs that pushed boundaries, becoming as popular off the court as on it. And of course, there are the shoes forever linked to basketball's biggest names, worn in unforgettable moments that still get replayed today.

I love this shoe. It is very durable and definitely worth the money. I highly recommend this shoe to basketball enthusiasts. I love the way they have the hole on the top of the shoe. I think this is the best shoe of all time. It's better than a lot of other shoes.
Very light. The design on all Hyperdunks is good, and they are hard to destroy. The best models are from 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. I don't think the 2009 model was the best.
Very comfortable, offering a lot of support. On the court, they help any player be faster, jump higher, and be more agile - truly the best shoes ever.
These are the most stylish basketball shoes ever. Why would anyone not like to have these kings?
I wear these. High tops work great and are very comfortable shoes. Great to show off with.
They are totally rad and the first Jordans ever!
Any Jordans are good. In my opinion, they are the most comfortable, stylish, and have the best quality. Once, I bought a pair of Converse basketball shoes, and the quality was not satisfactory.
Air Jordans are so good. They are probably the best shoe ever made, way better than the Hyperdunk. Inspired by the best player ever.
Jordan is the one. He makes the best shoes. I'm telling you that, and he's better than Durant or James, you know.
LeBron shoes are beast. They should keep making them.
It does everything he does. Everything.
I have them. I jump 5 inches higher.
They look nice, my favorite color combination.
They are from a German company, end of argument.
It's very comfortable and cool.
Very comfortable and definitely recommend it. It's expensive but worth it. I would use it all the time, especially models like the Kobe VI, the new one with the cool Black Mamba designs that include snake scales.
Overall, it's nice both outside and inside.
Very comfortable shoes. They offer no support, but nothing that ankle braces can't fix. They're stylish, expensive, but absolutely perfect for a quick guard and jump shot shooter.
Girls like me should definitely get them. Love them!
Great-looking shoe, lightweight, works great, but doesn't have great support, though.
Best looking and performing shoe ever!

I think these are really great sneakers, and I am looking to buy them. Unfortunately, every website I have searched for them, they all either seem to be sold out or do not have size 9.
One of the only basketball shoes that Converse makes.
That shoe is off the chain! Wade is the best one.
Overall, Adidas makes better ones because of their technology.
Besides awesome style, this shoe makes you feel amazing and builds confidence to storm the court!
Boss shoe. Full-length Zoom Air is perfect for balling in and for sneakerheads.
