Basketball shoes are such sort of shoes that are athletic and mostly higher elevated than running shoes to give a basic protection for the ankle. Basketball shoes have become extremely popular after such US stars of basketball such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James or Kobe. Many of these basketball stars have also released their respective brands of basketball shoes or have given their names and faces for the basketball shoe collection of world famous brands, such as Nike or Adidas. In Nike stores, you can find collections dedicated to Kobe and the Lebron X, both of which are extremely popular. The basketball shoes are highly popular to wear today by practically everyone.
