This partnership with the National Basketball Association is embodied in a collection of products that brings together the best of Decathlon's expertise (performance, design, comfort, quality and reliability) in the style of the NBA teams we all know and love...
DESIGN HISTORY
This shoe was designed with the participation of French international player Isaïa Cordinier. This shoe holds a special place in our hearts as our first low-top shoe designed specifically for performance. Our goal was to ensure that the foot would not move at all inside the shoe, even during the most powerful lateral pushes, and thereby ensure power transmission between the foot and the ground, so as to be as fast as possible on the court.
What kind of terrain are these shoes for?
All of them! Our shoes are tested and approved on various indoor surfaces, as well as on different types of outdoor terrains. We test grip at different dust levels (in the lab and in real conditions), as well as resistance over time, particularly against abrasion from the floor.
What size to choose?
We recommend you try on the shoes before your first training session and choose your usual basketball size. If it feels a bit tight, go up one size. There should be about 1 cm between your toes and the end of the shoe, because your foot will tend to swell a bit as you exercise. Finally, make sure your child wears specific basketball socks that reduce friction in areas most likely to rub.
Choosing basketball shoes
When buying basketball shoes, you should:
1- determine your level and how often you play
2- identify your main expectations based on your playing style: responsiveness and movement speed or high shock absorption for powerful support
3- choose the right upper height: ankle covered or not?
It's a high-performance shoe that's also very comfortable and lightweight. You'll be able to give your all on the court without worrying about your feet.
