Bottom Line

Mid-cut basketball shoe for women makes a bold fashion statement. A retro-80's design that's more for lounging than actual hoops.

Air Max technology offers extra cushioning for comfort. Thick rubber outsole improves traction. Looks like the Air Jordan IV basketball shoe.

Cons

More of a casual or collectors shoe than a modern ladies' court shoe.

Women's Nike basketball shoes are designed to provide a consistent grip on hardwood, concrete, and other basketball court surfaces. They are lightweight and come in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors. Each pair of basketball shoes consists of fabric and synthetic materials. Nike basketball shoes may also include perforations for breathability and a padded high-cut collar with an ankle strap for added support. Some basketball shoes come with a mid- or high-top silhouette. Others feature an air unit in the heel to cushion the feet during hard landings and play. Basketball shoes may even include a rubber outsole and internal midfoot shank.
