Mid basketball shoes

Mid-top basketball shoes

Mid-top basketball shoes offer the best of both worlds. Cut right at the ankle, they are less restrictive than high-tops and more supportive than low-top basketball sneakers. Because they are lighter than conventional high-top basketball shoes, they provide players with increased speed so that they can run and react faster. Because of this, mid-top basketball shoes are preferred by most players. It is a versatile shoe style that is ideal for quick, explosive, and even powerful players.
