Best Basketball Shoes for Bad Knees in 2025

"GT Jump 2: The King of Cost-Effectiveness! First Impressions After Two Real Game Sessions with the GT Jump 2 The Jump 2 features two Zoom Air units in the forefoot, providing an incredibly bouncy feel, while the rearfoot uses React foam, which is soft but not as responsive as Zoom Air. [Thumbs up][Thumbs up] This colorway is quite eye-catching and gets a lot of attention on the court. The side view looks great, but from the top, it looks a bit odd. [Sweat drop] The GT Jump generally has a higher center of gravity. At 5'10" and 115 lbs, I was able to break it in after a week of hard use. However, it's more suitable for heavier individuals. The cushioning is good, the sole is high, and the lateral support is really strong, with four points of lateral support. Another noteworthy feature is that the traction of the GT Jump is quite good, though after two real game sessions, the sole has already worn down a bit. Surprisingly, this pink colorway is quite resistant to dirt, unlike other pink performance shoes. The sizing is normal, and at the current price range of around 600-700, it offers excellent value for money. If you're a center, just go for it. [Feeling proud] Good!"lg...More

The GT Jump 2 is hands down the most comfortable shoe I've worn this year, and it's also the one that makes me most excited to jump. Although it has a higher center of gravity, the excellent lateral stability significantly boosts my sense of security. It's definitely a great fit for big guys playing forward positions.lg...More

The shoes feel great on the feet, with a strong sense of support and not too stiff. However, I do feel like the center of gravity is a bit high. They're really easy to style though.lg...More
