7 Best Black Basketball Shoes For Men in 2022

How we test basketball shoes

We based our selections on good research and hard data. We put in the legwork and hours of analyzing each model inside the RunRepeat shoe testing lab. We have wear-testers who determine the on-court performance, comfort, and fit of all the models through real-world tests and playing games of basketball.

Here’s exactly how we do it:

• We personally purchase all the black basketball shoes for men using our own money. This is to ensure we don’t owe any brand or company any loyalty.
• We cut and slice all the shoes into pieces and check and recheck 30+ parameters of each model such as the upper construction, stability, ankle support, grip, and many others.
• Our wear tests involve playing several games of basketball as well as all-day wear.
• We also consider other sources of helpful data from other experts and the regular users of the shoes.

Finally, we input all the gathered data into our proprietary CoreScore system. After calculating all the variables, a final rating is given on each model ranging from 0 to 100. We then highlight the top-rated shoes on this page for quick reference.
