Best New Balance Basketball Shoes

This hub lists 2 shoes, all from New Balance. Listed weights run from 14 oz (New Balance Kawhi 2) to 14.2 oz (New Balance TWO WAY v3), averaging 14.1 oz. Every shoe here lists a 8 mm drop.

All 2 are mid-cut; all 2 sit in the mid manufacturer price band. None carries an outdoor rating — these are all indoor-court shoes. On fit, New Balance Kawhi 2 is listed as wide; everything else is standard width.

1 model here is a signature shoe and 1 is a non-signature or team model. Signature status says nothing about fit, so compare on weight, cut and cushioning rather than on the name on the tongue.

By our position classification the roster covers small forwards (2), power forwards (1).

Nothing here is outdoor-rated, so if you play mostly on asphalt, pair this hub with the outdoor-rated shoes in the main database.
