 The 10 Best Basketball Sneakers to Wear if You Need Extra Ankle Support

No. 1 –  Nike LeBron X

Key Features: Hyperfuse upper

The collar on the Nike LeBron X may be a surprise at first. The asymmetrical fit goes lower in the back and higher in the front, allowing the ankle to flex yet remain supportive. The full inner sleeve scores major points for comfort via a snug fit with proper ventilation, putting the LeBron X at the top of our list of most supportive basketball shoes.

    dwight howard 3 is still the best shoe for ankle since its the tallest . micro g from underarmour is taller, but it looks just like 2 flaps around your ankle. my second choice is the 2011 zig slash , and third would be lebron james, but it cost to much
