Do i have to wear basketball shoes to play basketball for my school team or can i use shox?
nope, you can use chucks, like the pioneers of basketball did, however, you have a higher risk of getting injured in these shoes than the basketball ones.
Reply:Basketball shoes are designed to give good ankle support. If you don't wear basketball shoes then you better have some sort of ankle support because there is a lot of changing of directions quickly in basketball and you will be prone to rolling an ankle.
Reply:I the same w/ the other guy. I had the first ever Shox in 2000 or something like that. And they gave up once the hit the gravel. Only use them inside.
Reply:i sell shoes at academy sports and outdoor store in the footwear section. The Nike Shox is design as a running shoe, which should only be used when ur in a forward moving motion, like when u run. In basketball, although you are going to be running straight, sometimes you move sideways and such. Depending on the Shox you have, if its a running shox, then no, not at all, if its the Cross Trainer Shox, then it can be used. Although you will be missing out on the extra comfort from the basketball shoe, since it isn't design to be light, for the runner. It focus more on the Support of the ankle and heel. I suggest you get a mid range Basketball shoe, for about 50 dollars, that give you all the basics, EVA support, and Ankle Support. Now if you want to stay loyal to nike, get the Shox Basketball that Amare Stoudmaire wears, or the Basketball 360 Max! lol
Reply:It depends if the team has a unison shoe. When i played high school ball we had the same shoes and that was the rule. So you might want to check in with your coach first. But nike shox are ok i had a pair and they hurt my feet when i played.
Reply:For two years i wore nike shox; they are fine for bball but dont wear them outside until after the season.


Then youll probably need new shoes for next year





Basketball shoes are the best choice thougyh
