nike lebron 9 elite 2x champ customs by nate dockery | Best Basketball Shoes Overall
nike lebron 9 elite 2x champ customs by nate dockery | Nike LeBron 21
The Nike LeBron 21 is a beast on court and it is the most versatile hoop shoe on the market. It can be described as a remix of the Nike LeBron 20, and, that shoe was amazing (it was the best basketball shoe from last year in Red). Not only is it one of the top models this year, but it is also one of the most versatile, and one of the most comfortable on court, as well as an attainable Kobe substitute, making it THE best basketball shoe of the year and a no brainer if you are thinking of picking up a pair of basketball shoes as a gift. Read the full review. Price: $200
Best New Signature Shoe
adidas AE 1 Low
To keep things short and sweet, the adidas AE 1 Mid is an excellent shoe (Nike Air Max 200 SE CJ0575-100) and the AE 1 Low is slightly better in almost every way. Although the AE 1 Low looks similar to the originals, this is a very different basketball shoe and a better one at that. Not only is it better, it’s cheaper. The first AE 1 retailed for $120, which was already a very reasonable price for such a high-performing signature model, and the low version will run you a mere $110. Read full review. Price $110.
