Any recommendations on where to find an affordable (read: 100 bucks or under) pair of basketball shoes that aren't going to tear up my feet?

I have a pair of Nike Dunk High's that are nice, but old, worn out, and not very supportive of the feet. I'd also like to find a pair that looks more modern, not old-school like my current pair.

What kind of b-ball shoes do you people have and like? Brand preferences? Bad experiences with a certain brand or model?

the Nike outlet in Smithfield has some really good deals most of the time, the reebok place is right next door as well

if you dont wanna go that far, id go into a shoe store find the shoe you want, figure out the EXACT size that fits you then go on ebay and try and get em


i wear the nike shox and with a gel sock(gel on top and botton of the toes and feet) they work out really well...they seem to be really good as far as ankle support and stabilzation only thing they can be a lil heavy and clunky but i cant dunk so it doesnt matter really...

go with heavy ankle support though, u wont regret it

I got some good Adidas bball shoes for 25 at the Adidas outlet. If you don't have good outlets near you, look for sales online. Shoe Carnival is also a good option.
