3 Best Nike Air Basketball Shoes, 30+ Shoes Tested in 2022

How we test basketball shoes

We make our best picks according to categories that we think matter to you. Our selection process includes a thorough shoe testing lab analysis, wear tests, and an overall rating system that identifies the models that deliver solid performance in specific areas. Here is how we approach it:

• We buy all the Nike Air basketball shoes with our own money. This ensures the objectivity of our reviews and makes sure we avoid any bias.
• We slice the models into pieces for an in-depth examination of their essential parts. We check and analyze the Air Zoom midsole system, shock absorption, upper durability, traction, and many others.
• We test each model by playing actual basketball games, both outdoors and indoors.
• We enrich our accumulated data by checking out what the other experts are saying, as well as from regular users of the Nike Air shoes.

To get the overall score, we calculate all gathered data using the CoreScore system. A final rating from 0 to 100 is then assigned to each Nike air model on the list. For a faster browsing experience, we feature the top-rated models on this page.
