  • While only a few years ago, the 2010s was a decade of rapid innovation in basketball footwear technologies. A lot of the faces of the NBA that you know today, had some groundbreaking sneakers release. Think of Kevin Durant and his Nike KD4 or LeBron James with his Nike LeBron 8. These shoes set a new bar in both performance and style. In this video we take a look back at some of the best basketball shoes from the 2010s'. Enjoy!

    In the early 2010s, D Rose kicks also had a huge impact. Also, in 2012-2014, the Kobe 8, LeBron X, KD 6, and the annual Nike Basketball Elite Series had everyone by their toes.

      Yea adidas made a team / budget line of the DRose called the Crazy Shadow or something and it was really high quality and you could get last years model at Academy for $60. I played those in aau and high school but then in college I was given a pair of nike hyper dunks prolly 2014 and fell in love. Nike Hyper Dunk is the greatest show of all time and when they replaced it with the Alphadunk and Zoom Rize I was devastated

    2009 to 2010 was a crazy year for basketball shoes. Kobe V, KD2, and Lebron 8s were all in retail (my personal favs from each line). OG and 2010 Hyperdunks were amazing too. Even adidas was building hype for their bounce and crazy light lines. Fun times picking which shoe to get back then!

    I’m really happy that Under Armour started to retro the Curry 1s last year, as I finally got a pair of the Dub Nation Home colorway of the Curry 1. But man, I remember back then in 2015 and 2016, Curry 1s and 2s were really impossible to get. Resellers here in the Philippines and neighboring countries such as Hong Kong kept buying out all stocks and resold them for way over retail price. Steph not only impacted the game of basketball in a major way, his signature shoe line also had a big impact to basketball sneaker culture.

    Great video, man. What a nostalgia trip. The great thing about these sneakers is that they're relatively attainable price and availability wise compared to products coming out today. I'm certain it's hard to find good examples of sneakers from this era because they're so good people actually used them for hooping.
    IMO Nike's Elite series for the post-season is also worth mentioning in a good and bad way. Good because I think that's when they realized people are ready for no-compromise 'upgraded' versions of already pretty good products bud bad because I believe that's what started the steady price increase of hoop shoes since then.

    Favourite pair was a Red Suede Fila somethings from the late 90s.... don't know what they're called, wasn't interested in names then.
    Wore the sole out loooong time ago but always kept them.
    Saw a cool trick where you can re sole boots with your choice of mountain bike tires.
    Current kicks are a sweet pair of Red Dollar Dames and last years Curry's in all white.

Does Nike still even produce them anymore? I hope they bring them back because I'd def get a pair.
