Haven't played ball regularly in 10 years, going to start playing every weekend.

All I own are running shoes. Can someone make a recommendation for some good basketball shoes about $100 or less. I am fine buying an older model or weird colors to save a few bucks.

I'd prefer a recommendation that's in stock at foot locker, finish line, etc so I can get the right size

Worked in footwear for 3 years

- Stay away from anything Kobe or KD, they're style shoes only.
- LeBron's and Curry's are great ball shoes but if you're playing outdoor, be wary.
- Think of them like tires, the wider the lines on the bottom, the more tread you'll get on them. Thinner spacing is for indoors and unfortunately almost all of the top line shoes are made for indoor.

Eastbay lets you search by price.

If you prefer low cut, KD8 are pretty sweet and you can find some for $120.

Go to Marshall's, off Broadway, Nordstrom rack, and buy the ones that fit well. Quality shoes without the "this year's model" price tag.

Idk about them being a quality basketball shoe but that shoe is probably one of the best looking shoes, IMO.

Love these too. These are my everyday shoes. I don't really trust low basketball shoes on the court tho.
