Although i believe many of yall dont hoop irl on any competetive level whatsoever (Lol) Rep your all-time most comfortable and favorite ballin shoe.
For me:
Nike Air Max Uptempo-my all-time #1

Like a pillow on your feet, b. Soon as you slide these on

-Air More Uptempo

-Ait Jet Flight-light weight, comfy af.

-Jordan Jumpman Strong

-Jordan 11 LE-the only somewhat low top shoes i could ever comfortably ball in. Great traction

Air Max 180 -
Used to ball in these. Indoor or out. Literally balled in these until they were finished.
Nowadays KD's. Ankle support ain't ideal but I never ? up my ankles (knock on wood). Light as hell on the feet, traction nice and crazy comfortable imo. Tend to only ball in these inside though. If I'm outside I'll throw on anything tbh.

Hyperdunks are about the best I rotate the 2012 Hyperdunks that I got last fall. I have some Jordan 8.0's which are nice. I have some LeBron XI's they are really good but I wouldn't ball in them inside. These Jordan's man right here are about the most comfortable shoes to ball in. I had them Uptempo's you posted but I didn't really like the support. I really like the Kobe's 7's on up even though they are low tops they have the best traction and feels like you have nothing on your feet.

Ugly shoe but i loved the way they felt when i balled.
perfect weight for me and the back felt slightly higher than the front some folks aint like that and that could ? some folks ankles up but they was good money for me.
and believe it or not a pair of team Jordan aka fake 10's. light and fit like a glove 2008-2014 -

Never could wear Nikes cause of my wide feet so I wore And 1s up until I bought some wide Forces. Now it has been Forces of every kind.

The WORST shoes i ever hooped in:
Fukin death trap. That big eye ball at the heel is weighted a bit so it makes it crazy inbalanced, and they ride a lil lower than most low top bball shoes. Sprained 2 ankles with those -
Dunk game mean in these joints -
Memorieees. Every school had these back in HS. We thought we was doin it big had 2 pairs of straps, rock 1 shoe w/ the green strap, 1 shoe with the yellow strap lol Shyts were basic but comfortable as hell -
Kobe VIII
Light as hell, great cushion, great traction, love hoopin in these -
-
Them Bo Jackson got some play while I was in PA. the traction was good but they were heavy.
