NT what are you hooping in this Spring/Summer? vol. 2013 concrete/pavement basketball sneakers

[celticsfan9783]

All of my "durable" sneakers are beat to death. Currently in the market for 1-2 pairs of basketball sneakers exclusively for outdoor ball. Need some good opinions.

Possibilities:

Jordan XII
Hyperfuse

Man it really depends on the outdoor surface itself. If its that plastic stuff...KD V...those are my go to ball shoes indoor and outdoor. They have been doing me well inside thus far and I took em out for a spin the other day. Another option, and this is solely due to the fact that these shoes are affordable (at least where I'm at), are the Hyper Aggressors. I don't got a pair yet but I've tried them on, they don't seem that bad. I'd like to see what else others are using though.

i wouldnt rely on the shoes to support your ankle at this point. id get an ankle brace.

How are these sizing wise? I've had a pair of V/1 8s and needed to size up .5 a size because they ran super small. Are the PS similar?

its pricey but its worth it to me especially with how bad my ankle was sprained. i was actually on crutches for a few days and couldnt walk without a limp for well over a month. once your health is at stake, id say the $20 more is worth it.

i dont think i have any "high tops" but i do have mids (like the retro 3s shown). it fits OK in the shoes but it does push the sides of the shoes out some so you have to tighten your shoes up. the air brace is definitely wider than the brace im suggesting.
it does rub some so id say wear elite socks or thicker socks if you do buy it.

it fits in the shoes i play in now:
2012 hyperdunk USA
duke kobe 7
black/red kobe 6
jordan cement 3
jordan 2012
melo m8

I don't really care for ankle braces on the court, but the best shoes for ankle support (which is important to me) would be the Jordan 21's, 12's, and 19's (at least from my experience)

12's...Really?! Ain't knocking but I would def be scared for my ankles!

i c what you r saying, thanks for the input. I also had a similar injury last month and had the crutches a for a week n change. before i buy a brace im going to test it out in a modells or something to make sure its good for me. I wear size 13 and am currently overweight so i need a pretty big brace.
