Top Basketball Shoes for Florida A&M Fans in 2025

The shoes are really lightweight and fit true to size. They accommodate a wide range of foot shapes, except for extremely wide feet. Even though they're mid-high cut, they still feel breathable when worn. The design of the forefoot gives me, as a shooter, a sudden urge to make quick moves. They perform well on outdoor courts and have great traction. The colorway is awesome—it's a really good pair of shoes!lg...More

It takes some time to get used to if you have high arches, as the first time I put them on, it was a bit of a struggle. Since these shoes have a full-length inner bootie, they don't stretch much, but after a few days of wearing them, they feel really comfortable. There's a bit of rubbing on the Achilles heel, so you'll need thicker socks at the back. The midsole technology is soft, and the overall push-off feel is great, making them a must-have for explosive players. The only thing I'm not happy with is the sole—it's slip-resistant and durable, but it's too thin. This causes the carbon plate to make a sound like high heels when walking and gives a strange feeling on the feet. The static feel is soft, but during movement, you can feel the hardness of the carbon plate along with the softness of the midsole. If the carbon plate were embedded in the midsole material like in the "All City 11," it would be perfect. The upper is very breathable and fits snugly (I have wide feet and high arches). The lateral stability of these shoes is top-notch. The significance of the carbon plate is something only knowledgeable basketball fans will truly appreciate.
