Before you go to a store, you must first think about what the shoes you are going to collect in the bag are used for. Buying shoes is nothing more than three purposes - playing, collecting and walking in peace. We don’t discuss the collection of shoes for the time being. Walking shoes are not very high performance requirements for all aspects, as long as the appearance is cool enough enough to dazzle. But as a pair of shoes for playing, we should measure its performance from all aspects.
1. Cushioning
Relief is one of the most basic uses of shoes. Every time you jump and fall to the ground, your knees must withstand 7 times the usual pressure. So don't forget to feel the softness of your soles when you try shoes - a pair of shoes that only look good and that don't provide you with enough protection is definitely not suitable for you to play. You can try a few steps when trying shoes. If the soles give you a hard feeling, don't buy them. Is that softer the better? Of course not. Because the protection of shoes is reflected in the fierce confrontation. If you walk regularly you will feel too soft, how can it help you to withstand several times the usual pressure during the game? How to determine the moderate hardness of shoes? As a novice, you can try a few more pairs of shoes, from which to compare, which is best for you.
2. Initiation
The brethren who played at the guard all know that even 0.1 seconds at the start is the key to throwing the defender away. The key to start-up is the forefoot, that is, a fully elastic forefoot is the guarantee for starting shoes.
NIKE, ADIDAS and so on have designed many powerful thrusters for the forefoot, such as +ADIPRENE. The weight of shoes also has a certain influence on the start. Insiders basically do not need to care too much about this standard, but you are an extremely guarded speed guard. When choosing shoes, be sure to pick a pair of lightweight guard shoes.
3. Plastering and caring
The two are put together because they all involve the same aspect - the protection of the ankle. The protection is to see if the upper can give enough protection to the ankle. Obviously, the high-top shoes are much better than the low-top shoes. In addition, the materials for the help should also be thick and soft, not too thin or too hard, otherwise it is easy to cause bad feet. Plasterability refers to the height of the upper of the shoe. Theoretically, the farther your feet are from the ground, the greater the chance of stomping. However, it is also a double-edged sword. The shoe sole is thin and the height from the ground is low, but it may not provide good cushioning, but it will limit the protection of the ankle. flexibility. My suggestion is that people who like to play inside should never wear low-cut guard shoes, or protect your ankle well. In the inner line of an elderly person, Lin is very easy to get to the feet; like to play outside the line. Don't worry about it, relax your ankle and try your best.
4. Abrasion resistance
In China, there are far more opportunities for basketball fans to play outside the court. We may often wear our beloved boots to grind an afternoon on the concrete floor. No one wants to let their shoes be scrapped soon, so pay attention to the wear resistance of the shoes. Let me analyze the wear resistance of the major brands on the market today.
1. NIKE
This leading shoe market leader has an unparalleled technical advantage, but the shoe's wear resistance is not very good. Perhaps because NIKE's shoes are mainly designed for the infield professional shoes, NIKE's big bottom is not very wearable. If you are a street ball fanatic who often struggles in the field, this brand is not your right choice. However, if you have the opportunity to play on non-concrete venues such as plastic in indoor venues or outdoors, you can definitely choose NIKE, because generally speaking, (Never mind about wear resistance) NIKE's shoes are the most comfortable.
2. ADIDAS
This is an old brand known for its good quality. Its shoes are generally more wear-resistant, especially the black-rubbed, non-imprinted outsole, which is more wear-resistant than expected.
3. REEBOK
The shoes of this brand can only be said to be quite satisfactory in terms of wear resistance. No amount of praise in this respect will not attract criticism. Only its patented DMX has been questioned in the use of basketball shoes. It is generally believed that this is a running shoe technique. Although it can also bring good cushioning effect to basketball shoes, it is not very durable. Many people in the wearing of two or three months later found that the DMX's good shock absorber shoes disappeared.
4. AND1
A brand that is particularly well-suited for playing in the outfield. But do not think that all the shoes of this brand are suitable for the field. AND1's early shoes were exceptionally wear-resistant. Shoes such as STANDING0 left a deep impression. Although its shoes are not as strong as they used to be, their low-priced shoes without air cushions are more resistant than other brands (such as NIKE). It is worth noting that the AND1 high-priced shoes with HARMONIX technology are generally poor in wear resistance. This type of shoe features a split air cushion on the heel. Many people heard that ND1's shoes are very resistant to wear. They quickly bought a pair of HARMONIX shoes. As a result, wearing out air cushions for less than two months in the outfield is really terrible.
5. Fit with feet
That is, whether the shoe fits on the foot surface and whether the foot slides in the shoe during exercise. In this regard, Nike did the best, placing elastic shoe covers in the shoes, making the entire shoe as comfortable as the second pair of socks you were wearing. When you try on shoes, you must be careful not to buy larger or smaller sizes. If the size is right, you can check whether the heel slides in the shoes. If the forefoot is too narrow or too wide, the arch is very compressed. Feeling uncomfortable, if everything is good, it means that this pair of shoes is suitable for you.
6. Breathability
This is not the most important criterion, but friends who have heavy sweats must pay attention because your sweat accumulation in the shoes will significantly affect the comfort of the shoes. When you select your shoes, one must pay attention to whether the upper has ventilation holes, the other is to look at the material of the upper, and the patent leather and the quality of the artificial leather lacking texture are poor.
7. Price
I always feel that a pair of shoes over $1,000 is not suitable for playing streetball. Of course, when buying, you should pay more attention to discount information, visit more stores, and shop around.
There are more chances of discounting each year. You can also purchase new boots for yourself at this time.
In addition to these few, there are several details that we all pay more attention to.
First, NIKE shoes with SHOX technology, it is more suitable for slightly weighted players (preferably above 75KG) to control it, light-weight friends do not try, there is no enough weight can not make SHOX elastic column effect .
The second is NIKE shoes with FOAMPOSITE technology, if your foot arch is too high or too fat feet, do not try, because it is only suitable for standard foot type of people.
The third is MAXAIR air cushioned shoes. If you are in a cold north, or if you are a super athletic player, don't use it often to play in the outfield. Its air cushion may burst.
