In the 80s converse was the most used basketball shoes before Jordan 1s

[@thefunnywatermelon2983]

I thought that was the 60s and 70s, cuz blazers started getting popular in the early 80s

[@PeBenjavincci008]

Correction: converse became popular in the 60s and early 70s, until Adidas arrived with the superstar and then with the forum but that's where the air force one comes in.

[@puebespuebes8589]

They are made to fold and not be cushioned because they where made for 1970s and before athlete that had much stronger feet. If you start using converse start slow then slowly strenghten your body. They allow better control but if you messup ( go too hard or land, run wrong you feel the pain immediatly )

[@nobodynothing00000]

They had stronger feet back then. They knew how to sprint and how to jog, using their toes to dig in instead of striking heel first. Walked a whole lot more, did more PE in school and didn't sit as much. Cushioned sneaker shoes first showed up in the running world, then came over to the basketball world in the late 80s as part of the sneaker wars. Once Jordan signed with Nike, the game was pretty much finished, now every sneaker of every kind had cushioned, which ironically made the average runner worse off because they started to heel strike instead of running in a balanced formed. I remember 1985 I got some converse basketball shoes, Magic Jordan models and took weeks to break them in, they were so rigid. Now you got shit that falls apart in 3 months.

[@SimV239]

Idk about basketball.. but I do sometimes wear them to the gym to my hiit classes.. I wear them with thick socks.. and it gives great stability and balance while working out..

YEEZY SLIDES is A MUST

[@ijustwannabeadrummer]

Aiight just played an hour of 21 on an outdoor cement court. My review is they prevent you from rolling your ankle! I got the high top ones with the extra padding. My only complaints is i did lose traction once and your feet will be sore after, not enough padding on the bottom. I was playing on an outdoor court so I trust your judgment that maybe on indoor wood you may slide around. I would say they are way better than a running shoe just because they prevent rolling of the ankle. Gotta wait for payday till i get a proper pair but they are ok if thats all you got to hoop in.

School shoes are harder to play basketball. In India we have uniforms in school and we have formal shoes in school. The shoe has hard grip like plastic and is painful while jumping and also zero protection for toes.
