Top 5 Court-Ready Performance Basketball Shoes for Summer Hoops

When it comes to basketball shoes, performance and style are key. Your sneakers do more than help you drive the lane, post up down low or protect the rim — they’re an extension of who you are and how you express yourself as a player.

With so many choices from Nike and adidas, along with Jordan and Under Armour, there’s never been a better time to be a baller. At Hibbett Sports, we make sure you’ll look good and play better every time you hit the court with our selection of the most comfortable basketball shoes around.

Nike LeBron Witness III PRM “Black/University Red”

King James is one of the most dominant forces to play in the NBA, so it’s no surprise his latest shoe release are some of the best basketball shoes ever. The Nike LeBron Witness III PRM in the Black and University Red colorway delivers performance-enhancing tech while paying homage to LeBron’s hometown. Look to the full-length encapsulated Air-Sole unit to cushion those sky-high jumps whether you’re dunking or having a block party.

Nike Kyrie Flytrap II “Black/White”

No one runs the court like Kyrie, but his signature kicks can help you come close. Nike built the Kyrie Flytrap II to give players improved speed and agility during those quick cuts and crossover dribbles while maintaining optimal comfort via the soft foam in the heel. Count on the curved outsole for top-of-the-line traction and the Black and White colorway to make a muted yet bold statement.

Nike KD Trey 5 “Black/White”

KD. Durantula. The Servant. Slim Reaper. Kevin Durant has many nicknames, but one thing that doesn’t change is the quality his sneakers possess. The Nike KD Trey 5 in the Black and White colorway is a dynamite basketball shoe that delivers style and substance. The dynamic cable lacing system ensures your foot stays locked in, while the Zoom Air cushioning at the forefront offers low-profile responsiveness.

Under Armour Curry 3Zero “Royal/Grey/Black”

An all-star player needs an all-star shoe which is why Under Armour built the Curry 3Zero specifically for the two-time NBA MVP and three-time NBA champion. Featuring a fresh-to-death Royal, Grey and Black colorway, these kicks can stand up to the most intense movements and impacts. The midsole comes equipped with a meta-wing TPU shank for locked-in stability, while the molded ankle collar and built-in Achilles pillow comforts and supports the foot.

Jordan Why Not? Zer0.2 SE “Red Orbit”

Jordan basketball shoes are the Cadillac of sneakers. For some seriously head-turning kicks, look to the latest innovation from the iconic brand. The Jordan Why Not? Zero.2 features eye-catching flair and innovative shoe technology. These babies are a lighter, lower and faster version of Russell Westbrook’s second signature performance shoe, and they feature a deconstructed upper and reduced foam to maximize speed and comfort.
