Nike Metcons or Reebok Nano’s will probably do the trick.

Not the regular metcons but the Nike Free and the Metcon Free

Chuck Taylors, probably. Other lifting shoes will have a hard out-sole that will make it hard for basketball or too much of a cushion to be ideal for deadlifts. Chucks are old school gym shoes and sneakers.

I lift and play basketball in Nike Metcon Frees every week

Wear basketball shoes and take them off to squat and deadlift.

Nike 89 Air Flight hi tops work for me

Metcon Frees are not ideal for squats or deadlifts. If you’re able to do the things you want, great. I personally wouldn’t wear them.

I don’t lift heavy in them.
But for metcon style workouts they are fine.

Playing basketball in the wrong type of shoe is way riskier than squatting in a basketball shoe.
I’d just buy a basketball shoe and then squat or deadlift barefoot or in socks only.
Ironically, the original basketball shoe does make for a great weightlifting shoe. I just wouldn’t play basketball in chucks.

Or get two pairs of shoes. I have a pair of Romoleos for squatting/olympic lifting, Chuck Taylors for deadlifting and running shoes for other non-resistance training exercises.
