Top 10 Gold Basketball Shoes for Youth in 2024

These sneakers were born for Olympic victory~ The Kobe 4 'Gold Medal' colorway was specifically designed for Kobe's 2008 championship win. The details are incredible, featuring all of Kobe's jersey numbers: USA's number 10, as well as 8 and 24. Coincidentally, the day they won the championship was August 24th. As for the specs: Each shoe weighs 376 grams. The upper, side panels, and heel padding are well-cushioned, with Flywire technology retained. The outsole has a carbon fiber plate, and the heel features a horseshoe-shaped Zoom Air unit with great pressure. The forefoot has cushioned foam, making these shoes perfect for actual gameplay—excellent torsional support, solid upper support, and decent cushioning. The only downside is that the shoe last is a bit narrow, and the sizing runs small. I'd recommend going half a size up for those with narrow feet and a full size up for wider feet—don't go true to size! As a Kobe fan, I couldn't wait to lace these up~lg...More

The long-awaited Kobe 4 Protro has finally arrived, and I couldn't wait to try them on. They definitely live up to the hype! First off, the fit is amazing—snug and supportive right out of the box, which is a signature feature of Kobe's shoes. This is the OG Flywire version, and while the Flywire doesn't add much in terms of performance, it definitely makes the shoe look way cooler than the non-Flywire version. The cushioning is also top-notch, as expected from the Kobe 4. The forefoot feels low to the ground, while the heel has that explosive bounce. However, the large leather panels mean the breathability isn't as good as newer models. Plus, the milky translucent outsole is probably going to oxidize pretty quickly 😂. For sizing, if you have wide feet, I'd recommend going up half a size. The fit is so tight that going true to size would make them unwearable for daily use.lg...More

I've been eyeing these shoes for a while, and as soon as they launched, I grabbed a pair. I usually wear size 44 for the AJ series, and even though this is a women's size, size 44 fits me perfectly. I recommend sticking to your regular size, but if you're unsure, you can always choose based on your foot length. Now, let me break it down for you guys with a rating from various aspects (out of 5 points). ✔️ Comfort (2 points): The feel is typical of the AJ4—a bit stiffer than a brick, but it improved a lot after I swapped in an air cushion insole. The midsole does have air cushioning, but you barely feel it when you wear them. ✔️ Appearance (5 points): The design is top-notch. Personally, I think it's one of the best-looking AJ4s this year. The white color scheme isn't the most durable, but it's truly a work of art. The leather is incredibly smooth, and the TPU heel piece has a ceramic-like texture that looks stunning. The pure white color makes it super easy to pair with any outfit, perfect for hitting the streets in style. ✔️ Craftsmanship (5 points): In terms of quality, it lives up to Nike's standards and justifies the price tag. The materials are top-notch, with very fine leather, though there's a bit of excess glue that doesn't affect the wear experience. ✔️ Value for Money (3.5 points): Currently, the men's sizes are slightly overpriced. For this price, the Bred colorway is also a good option. If you're into the white color scheme, just go for it. While it's not the most cost-effective option, anyone buying an AJ4 isn't exactly looking for a bargain. It's all about looking good.lg...More

I've been following this shoe since before it even launched, and I was lucky enough to get it offline in my size—it's amazing! [Bold][Bold][Bold]!!! I absolutely love this pair of shoes. They're stylish, versatile, and the quality is excellent. The craftsmanship is very detailed, and the white color with gold accents gives it a luxurious feel. It pairs well with all kinds of pants, and I think it would look great with skirts too. I styled it with cargo pants, and it turned out super cool and chic—I can't get enough of it [Heart][Heart][Heart]. I don't even want to take it off. The comfort level is great too. The size runs a bit small—I usually wear a 38, but the 38.5 fits perfectly. The shoes are lightweight, and the sole is soft. It's way more comfortable than AJ1. The breathability is also good; I wore it on a 20-degree day and didn't feel stuffy at all. I'm so glad I finally found a pair of shoes that are both comfortable and stylish [Heart]. The design is simple and elegant, perfectly matching my taste. This is definitely my go-to choice, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves comfort and style. If you're looking for a fashionable yet comfortable shoe, this is the one—it will definitely impress you and won't disappoint [Laugh][Laugh][Laugh].lg...More
