Basketball Shoes
Many people question about basketball shoes like which one has the best cushioning, comfort, durability and etc. In my opinion I think that Nike still has thee best basketball shoes because of its technologically advances basketball shoes. They have an advantage over the competition because first of all they have a variety of cushioning systems like Air Max, Zoom, and Zoom Air. Also they have other advances on the upper with flywire and they also created the carbon fiber plate to support the foot. But don`t count out the competitors like Reebok, Adidas, Peak, and Li Ning. Reebok also has their new shoe with the new zigtech technology. But the cons of Reebok is that it only has 0ne shoe with the new zigtech technology and they also look kind of ugly. Adidas has a larger variety of basketball shoes. They have more varieties because it has been around more than Reebok because they pretty much own Reebok now. They have these new pods on the bottom of their shoes which I think looks kind of weird, but I have heard a lot of great things about the pods. Adidas also has a new technology called adiprene which is a cushioning system something like Nike Air, Nike Zoom etc. In conclusion Li Ning and Peak are the new basketball shoes made and created in China. They are both making a jump into the American market and even worn by some great NBA basketball player like Kevin Garnett and Kevin Love. Also a fun fact that I learned was that the shoes that Amare Stoudemire is wearing since he was a New York Knick are actually training shoes. Kind of hard to imagine a player scoring thirty something points in shoes that aren`t even engineered to be playing basketball in them. They are called the Nike Huarches trainers and they might look like basketball shoes, but look closely, the box says trainers and they are made to be used outside.
