Across the country, basketball season is gearing up into full swing, with after-school practices, Saturday morning games and the tournaments that follow. Not only is basketball a great sport to introduce your kids to the world of athletics — or sharpen your own game — but it’s fast-paced, exciting and the best indoor sport this time of year.
Whether you’re looking for a pair of youth basketball shoes or men’s and women’s sizes, you’ll find top-tier options at Hibbett | City Gear. Here are a few of the best basketball shoes we have in stock right now — and some honorable mentions perfect for players of all stripes.
We’ve had our eye on Jayson Tatum for a few years now, watching his meteoric ascent as a power forward for the Boston Celtics. With all eyes on Jay, the Jumpman brand decided to bestow upon him his signature sneaker line and basketball players of all ages are digging it. The Jordan Tatum 1 takes a light-handed approach to materials, keeping rubber to a minimum, using reinforced foam for a lightweight structure, employing an uncaged Zoom Air unit, and adding a lightweight, breathable mesh upper.
King James is back with two throne-worthy options. The LeBron 21 prioritizes a balance of plush cushioning, responsive Zoom Air, lockdown support and grippy traction. It's a versatile beast for any position. Alternatively, the NXXT Gen is LeBron's lightest shoe ever. It's built for explosive speed and dynamic cuts, perfect for guards and wings who love to push the pace.
Ja Morant's intensity is bottled in this lightning-fast shoe. The Nike Ja 1 is all about responsiveness: Zoom Air in the forefoot propels you off the ground, while the lightweight upper and minimal outsole keep you feeling quick and agile. Buckle up for high-flying finishes and ankle-breaking crossovers.
Sabrina Ionescu's debut shoe, the Nike Sabrina 1, is a supportive, comfortable ride with plush React foam cushioning and a wide, stable base. The upper is breathable and secure, ideal for guards who like to control the tempo and orchestrate the offense.
Trae Young's magic extends well beyond the court with his third signature shoe. The adidas Trae 3 is all about responsiveness and agility. It features a bouncy Lightstrike midsole, a snug, sock-like upper, and a data-driven outsole that grips like crazy on tight cuts and shifty moves. Ankle-breakers, beware; Ice Trae's got you covered.
These three may not be on the tip-top of your wishlist, but they are all worthy on-court additions for post-holiday play:
