Best Basketball Shoes for Jumpers

This hub lists 3 shoes from 2 brands (Nike 2, 361 1). Listed weights run from 13.8 oz (361 AG2) to 17.8 oz (Nike Shox BB4), averaging 15.5 oz. Heel-to-toe drops range from 8 to 9 mm.

All 3 are mid-cut; by manufacturer price band 1 mid and 2 premium. None carries an outdoor rating — these are all indoor-court shoes.

Every shoe here shares the same cut height, so listed weight is the main spec difference between them. Drop barely varies (8–9 mm), so it is rarely the deciding factor.

Within this play style the shoes are classified for these positions: small forwards (2), power forwards (1), shooting guards (1). Pick your position first, then compare weight and cut.

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