Adidas basketball shoes

Adidas basketball shoes

Adidas is definitely one of the top manufacturers of basketball shoes in the United States and the rest of the world. Like Nike, they offer both signature and non-signature basketball shoes that are equipped with performance-enhancing technologies. 

Notable Adidas signature basketball shoes

Adidas is the home of basketball stars James Harden and Damian Lillard. James Harden is a self-confessed Kobe Bryant fan, so it doesn't really come as a surprise that his signature releases are all low-tops. He also has a line of basketball sneakers that are geared for the more style-conscious buyers.

Like Harden, Damian Lillard also releases a line of signature off-court shoes alongside his high-performance Adidas Dames. His lifestyle sneakers have design elements that honor his life as a rapper. For those who don't know, Damian Lillard is also known as Dame Dollah in the rapping world. 

Other big names under Adidas Basketball are Donovan Mitchell and Derrick Rose. 

Non-signature greatness

Because of their association with on-court celebrities, signature shoes are easily the more well-known offers from Adidas. This does not mean, however, that the brand's non-signature offers are mediocre. The Adidas Crazy Explosive and N3xt L3vel collections have been making good impressions since their inception.

Non-signature offers are relatively cheap, so getting them isn't such a bad move, especially if you know how to guage quality. For more details on how to asses basketball shoes before making the purchase, refer to our detailed buying guide.
