Answer 1

no.

Answer 2

No they are not made for bball

Answer 3

it does not have ankle support

Answer 4

No, they were great shoes in 1980 but they don't give enough cushioning and support now, unless you're planning to play one time.  If you're playing a few times a month or more you need a lot more.

Look up basketball shoes on Nike.com if you like nike.  Otherwise, look up the sporting goods stores on line and research what they have.  Those are cool, but if you're playing regularly you'll hurt yourself!

Answer 5

Those would make do, but there are many other styles that are more specifically for basketball to give better traction and support.  If you do use them, lace them snugly.

Answer 6

not a chance

Answer 7

No

Answer 8

naw go get tha hyperdunks

Answer 9

No, those are for casual wear.  

Answer 10

No you should get a shoe thats more fitting

Answer 11

i think so.

Answer 12

those are for skateboarding, they make their sole/bottom of the shoe flat, which is very uncomfortable. i walk in a lot of skate shoes, they are not really good for walking. so yea if i were you, get some different shoes that are not flat on the sole/bottom of the shoe  

Answer 13

The bottom of those shoes aren't flexible at all. Flexibility of the sole is, what I think, the most important thing to consider if you want to use the shoe for playing basketball. You want it to be flexible, but not extremely flexible.

Answer 14

Great Shoes

Great Ankle injury
