Men's Basketball Shoes(114)

Designing men's basketball shoes is in our company DNA—just think back to when we launched the Air Jordan 1 in 1985. We build each pair with high-performance materials to give you the traction you need to maximise your on-court play. Meanwhile, our Air Zoom units soak up the energy of your stride and snap back quickly for a responsive feel. Plus, cushioning systems absorb the impact of your landings. All you need to do is lace up and grab the ball.

Engineered outsoles for on-court confidence

Exceptional footwear helps you move with purpose and turn with speed. That's why our men's basketball shoes offer relentless grip that gives you full control over your footwork. Multi-directional patterns help you connect to the court during quick cuts, while rubber wraps around the sides of the shoes to deliver outstanding stability. Choose pairs with data-informed 360-degree traction for super-fast direction changes and soles with pivot circles so you can rotate with ease.

Protection for your joints

When you're running and jumping, you need a shoe with reliable cushioning for your feet. We make our basketball shoes for men with sculpted foam midsoles to give exceptional support and cloud-like softness underfoot. Our acclaimed trainers soak up the impact of each stride, leap and landing without weighing you down, then bounce back into shape for a springy feel under your soles. The result? You're free to focus on putting in your best-ever performance for the team.

Support for maximum confidence

When your feet are locked in and supported, you can focus on testing your limits. It's the reason we make our basketball shoes for men with durable webbing that secures your forefoot. Meanwhile, structured heels hug close to your ankles without sacrificing mobility, helping you through every movement. Look out for men's basketball shoes with external moulded heel clips that lock the back of the foot in. Many of the pairs in our collection are complete with high-performance lacing systems to keep your soles in place in the footbed.

Find your power with durable uppers

Because every game and every player is different, we make our men's basketball shoes with a wide choice of upper styles and materials. Ankle-hugging designs provide support for your joints, while lower-profile pairs ensure added freedom of movement. Look for stretchy knit fabrics that flex with you and breathable weaves to help you stay cool and comfortable. Need a pair with extra durability? Opt for leather and synthetic leather that's made to go the distance during the toughest of matches.

Shooting hoops is even more fun when you're playing for the future of sport. Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join our journey, choose men's basketball sneakers with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill.
