Cheap Basketball Shoes

adidas Streetball 08

Overview:
Here it is! A shoe that was designed for the way most of us play… On the street. I really like this shoe for street ball. The only downfall to me is the look. I think adidas could have went a bit more traditional with this basketball shoe.

Style/Design:
Not the prettiest kick in the closet but it will take a beating. Everything on the shoe seems heavy duty. The super sticky sole wraps the toe and sides like it is prepped for battle. This basketball shoe has sick grips on the street.

Fit:
There is a unique Torsion lacing system that provides a lot of mid foot support once the laces are locked. The beauty of the cheap basketball shoe is the weight. The first time I saw it I thought “it’s gunna be a tank” but at 15.0 oz it demands a second look. Even with out a sock liner the fit is still good. No sloshing around and no hot feet. I taller shoe than I like… but still not an extreme HI.

Price:
Mark downs are starting to roll in on the cheap basketball shoe and I think the good sizes won’t last long. This is a basketball shoe that retailers won’t want to hang on to very long seeing it is for street use. Eastbay just marked down their prices and you can get these kicks for about $60.
