Summer is in full stride across America, with hoops fans everywhere seeking to get their basketball fix.? Whether you’re preparing for fall tryouts, running the courts at Venice Beach, or just looking to get a quick pick-up run, you need a pair of good summer balling shoes.? Fortunately for you Snkrs Day has you covered, as we offer you this buyer’s guide for the best basketball shoes this summer.<\/p>\n

Nike Hyperdunk 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the original Hyperdunk launched in 2008 hoopers rejoiced, buying up Olympic inspired colorways of their favorite countries and team colorways for their school season.? Two years later the shoe that outfitted the Redeem Team along the road to gold medal glory is back in a revamped design for 2010. ? Available now at the Snkrs Day shop in Austin or online at Eastbay.
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Nike LeBron VII PS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure LeBron’s offseason has gotten more attention than his postseason, but that doesn’t mean the Zoom Air version of the Lebron VII isn’t ideal for summer basketball. ?Ditching full length visible air for the lighter and more responsive full-length Zoom cushioning, the Lebron VII PS is built for fast-paced hoops.? Pick up a pair from Nike Store.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Zoom Kobe V<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kobe got his fifth ring in his fifth signature Nike. Coincidence? Probably. But whatever you want to call it, the Zoom Kobe V is a proven sneaker by both performance and aesthetic standards. Grab the “Miles Davis” colorway at Nike Store.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jordan Pro Strong<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jordan Pro Strong has made a comeback in the past month, thanks to true-to-OG releases like this “Vin Baker” pair. Two other colorways have also been released, but you can grab these now at Finish Line.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jordan Air’s<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the more impressive Jordan team shoes lately, the Jordan Air’s features a fresh design. Despite its ankle-protecting Mid height, the mesh side panels and low-cut neoprene lining should keep your feet cool on the blacktop courts this Summer. Available now at Eastbay.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jordan CP3 Tribute “True Blue”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paying tribute to a fan-favorite sneaker is never a bad way to go, so it only makes sense that Chris Paul’s third signature shoe borrows its looks from the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue,” but retains its own charm and performance capabilities. These just dropped at Eastbay.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max Hyperize<\/strong><\/p>\n

By combining the cushioning from the Air Max LeBron VII and the upper of the standard-issue Hyperize, Nike created a hoops shoe that mixes comfort without adding too much weight. Grab this colorway or a number of others at Finish Line.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan Alpha 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re stuck on retros, Jordan Brand has you covered with the tech’d up remake of the Air Jordan 1.? The Jordan Alpha 1 is a great summer basketball shoe utilizing light weight breathable materials and a rugged all black colorway perfect for summer runs on the asphalt.? Pick up this colorway at Eastbay or make your own on Nike iD.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Converse may be best known for its low-tech causal shoes, but the Drop Step promises to be a beefed up hoops shoe for post players. Other new models are on the way from the Chevron and Star, but these are available now at the?Converse Shop.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

COMING SOON<\/em>: Nike Zoom Hyperfuse, Reebok Zig Tech Slash, Converse Sicks & Nike Zoom Soldier IV<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the revival of Converse and Reebok basketball, a new lineup of Nike signatures like the Zoom Soldier IV and the fan-favorite Zoom Hyperfuse all on the horizon, the future is bright for hoopers. If none of the past few shoes caught your eye, it may be best to save your cash for one of the above, whose releases are sprinkled throughout August and September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
