The Best Basketball Shoes to Level Up Your Game, According to Pros and Reviews

Adidas Harden Vol 2 Basketball Shoes ($201-$487)

Ankle support usually comes from the height of the collar and structure, but in the Adidas Harden Vol. 2 shoes, it also comes from the knit material, which is designed to hug your ankle and foot so it won't shift around inside the shoe during dynamic plays. These shoes also feature a full-length Boost midsole, which absorbs the impact of your movements to help reduce stress on your ankles.

Expert quote: "In college, I played in a pair of Harden Vol 2s and loved them but wore them out over the years," Rowan shares. "There is an elastic ankle collar that really locks your foot in. I'm not super prone to rolling my ankles but I think if you were, the collars would still help with some stability."
