Most Popular Shoes of the 2023 NBA Season

May 18, 2023

There are plenty of basketball fans out there, but if you’re also a sneak-aholic, you’re probably eyeing NBA players’ shoes as much as their stats. Between hardcourt stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, LaMelo Ball, Russell Westbrook and Kawhi Leonard, there’s a multitude of shoes in the NBA to keep an eye on. Which ones are the best? Stick with Hibbett | City Gear as we break down some of the top NBA basketball shoes in the game today.

Nike LeBron 20

Much like its namesake, the LeBron 20 just keeps evolving into a more fine-tuned basketball-playing machine. Its ultramodern and svelte turbo-like design offers a comfortable and supportive base for a power forward. Plus, the low-cut, lightweight design makes it easy to stay ahead of a fast-paced game. Just like LeBron, Nike hasn’t settled for anything less than greatness when it comes to this NBA player’s shoe. In fact, King James’ sons, Bryce and Bronny, even had an influence on this sneak’s design.

Jordan Luka 1

Designed specifically for Luka Dončić, point guard for the Dallas Mavericks, the Jordan Luka 1 is made for speed and efficiency. This NBA basketball shoe features a full-length Formula 23 foam to create an ultra-supportive fit. Plus, its ankle-wrapping rubber support pairs with an efficient traction system, keeping the stepback in mind. And its strong yet lightweight Flight Wire cables wrap around the shoe’s upper to deliver a secure fit.

Jordan Tatum 1

From his time with the Blue Devils to his current position with the Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum has been an explosive powerhouse, so Jordan created a shoe as fiery as the man himself. The brand did away with as much rubber as possible, making the Jordan Tatum 1 this season’s lightest-performance NBA basketball shoe. Designers also wrapped the sneak with a strong plastic frame in the midsole, and the visible Nike Zoom Air unit only adds to this kick’s all-around ability.

Under Armour Curry 10

One of the most innovative and technically advanced shoes in the Under Armour family is the Curry 10 basketball shoe. Designed to cater to the specific needs of basketball players the Under Armour Curry 10 provides superior support, comfort, and flexibility on the court. Stephen Curry’s signature sneaker has a responsive and cushioned midsole, which provides excellent shock absorption. With its sleek and modern design, it has become a stylish and fashionable choice for basketball players who want their footwear to match their style.
