Top OG Basketball Shoes to Elevate Your Game in 2024

"The low-top Mocha AJ1, in terms of color scheme, is almost identical to the high-top version. However, there are slight differences in texture. This low-top version feels more solidly constructed, with a nice combination of leather and suede, and the suede has a good brushed effect. Once I wore it, I noticed that the low-top version is more breathable, especially around the ankle area. Despite the excellent support, it doesn't feel stuffy even after walking for a long time. I think it would work well for commuting in both winter and summer. The Mocha colorway is always very versatile for outfits. I can easily pair it with jeans or joggers, and it looks even better with darker tops. The only downside is that it didn't come with an extra pair of shoelaces. I personally think the pink shoelaces I added look better than the black ones, so I'd recommend getting some different shoelaces if you like to customize your look."lg...More

"Air Jordan 1 'Latte' — a pair of shoes you can't go wrong with. I'll keep it brief on the well-known details: the sizing runs slightly small, so consider going half a size up. The comfort is as expected — no cushioning, but it's not as stiff as a brick either. The midsole is thin, making it feel closer to the ground. This time, the leather quality is among the better ones for regular AJ1s. The black and white parts feel great, and the 'latte' color at the heel has a slight suede-like texture. I tried to capture it clearly in the photos so you can get a feel for it. The midsole has a vintage yellow tint, and the coffee print on the insole, along with the complimentary coffee mat, really ties the theme together. A few years ago, this might have been a hyped release, but thankfully, the AJ1 hype has cooled down. Now, you can grab it for around $500, which is a no-brainer for true fans. Plus, the usual extra pair of laces is included. The colorway pairs perfectly with military green or earthy tones, making it easy to create great outfits. At this price, it's a safe bet for the fall and winter, adding a cozy 'latte' warmth to your wardrobe."lg...More

The sizing is true to size, so just go with your usual size. These shoes are incredibly comfortable—they don't squeeze my feet at all. I have wider feet, and some AJs can still feel tight, especially the ones with harder materials, which can be really uncomfortable. But these are super soft and offer great wear comfort. Plus, they look great, and I love the colorway—it's part of the Mocha series, which is my favorite.lg...More
