shoe recommendations

Can anyone recommend me a shoe model or type of shoes for me?

I usually play guard and most of my scoring is jump shots, floaters, tear drops, and hook shots due to my 5'10" height. I also have high-arching feet.

The cheap version of Kobes shoes are perfect shoes for a guard.

Personally I've always liked the Jordan Brand. Most if not all of the shoes are comfortable and protect the foot well against sprains. My personal favourite is the Jordan 19.

agree with richardkrey, although think they have made progress. I got a new pair of AND1s and they feel like real basketball shoes for once. not too low on the ankle, and proper light at the same time. they must be learning. they pair I had before that (about 6 years ago) were bricks

I currently bought some Nike 7's and I love them

They are black and are really tight and loose around my ankles and I usually play guard and like them

What ever shoe you decide to buy make sure that they are high cut ankles as a gaurd myself i find i have problems with rolling my ankles as we are always on the move at a fast pace and having those high cut shoes help eliminate that.
