Top Five Basketball Shoes Of 2019

We all know that most players wear basketball shoes when they hit the court, but sometimes they need specific types of basketball shoes to perform their best. In this blog, I will review and rank all the best basketball shoes of 2019. Almost every player experiences some kind of problem with their shoes that either prevents them from playing comfortably or makes them more injury prone because they are not wearing the right shoes fit for them. Certain types of shoes provide different benefits to you and it is necessary for every basketball player to get the right footwear fit for their playing style and comfort.

5. Nike Zoom Freak 1 (As low as $120.00)

The Nike Zoom Freak 1 is good for athletic players who really like to execute athletic moves on the court. This is the signature shoe of Giannis Antetokounmpo, a very athletic basketball player, even among the great athletes of the NBA. A low and very well cushioned shoe, this provides comfort and stability to players.

Although the Nike Zoom Freak 1 has some benefits, there are a couple negative attributes that come with this shoe as well.

4. Air Jordan 33 (As low as $175.00)

The Air Jordan 33 is a great shoe for playing basketball. The traction is very good as your foot will not slide or budge when you make a hard stop in a basketball game. Also, it fits very well on your foot as it is very tight. There are no laces but there is a strap to loosen/tighten the shoe.

The downside to playing with this shoe is mostly it’s performance because it is quite heavy and since it is also very tight, it may feel like wearing boots when playing basketball.

3. Adidas Harden Vol. 2 (As low as $140.00)

The Adidas Harden Vol. 2 is a very comfortable shoe to play in as there is a lot of cushioning and provides good area to fit your foot in. The space in the shoe locks up you foot comfortably.

Unfortunately, these shoes would not be recommended if you want emphasis on the traction. Dust accumulates quickly on this shoe so you may find yourself wiping off the dust often.

2. Nike KD 12 (As low as $150.00)

The Nike KD 12 has very good stability and traction as it is meant for very stable and powerful players. The shoe has a very flat bottom so that it gives the player a lot of stability and allows them to easily make hard cuts with the shoe and land forcefully on without rolling an ankle.

Even though the Nike KD 12 has many great attributes, there is a negative attribute for this shoe. Because it has a lot of stability and traction, this shoe does not allow players to run and jump to their maximum ability since it restrains the movement of their foot in some ways.

1. Under Armour Curry 6 (As low as $130.00)

The Under Armour Curry 6 has the best overall basketball attributes and is fit for many players. The flexibility is top of the class(it is easy to sprint and jump full out in this shoe), the traction is also the top of the class(it has a very pure rubber bottom – this allows the player to not slide on any gym floor because of how much resistance the rubber has), and it is one of the most comfortable basketball shoes of 2019.

The only slight problem it has is the fact that it’s durability isn’t top of the class. Because it has a pure rubber grip, it is easier for it’s grip to rub off or wear down faster than most other basketball grips.

In conclusion, these are the very best basketball shoes for 2019. They all are the best in the different attributes that make a good shoe. Some of them provide top of the class comfort, some give you top notch performance, and some are the jack of all trades and are great in all areas of the shoe.
