I use these sneakers for basketball, and basketball only.  For the purpose, they're excellent.  They've got a really plush, supportive inside, but the outside is extremely sturdy and provides the necessary support for quick pivots and cuts.  I'm not totally sure, but feels like they have little gel pads under the pressure points of your feet, which is a nice touch.  They look great, I've gotten a few complements on them.  Plus, for what it's worth, I think it's pretty cool to be able to have my player in NBA 2K12/13 wear the shoes I actually wear.

I had been playing basketball in running shoes for a few weeks, and my knees were getting worse after every game.  I bought these at the height of my knee issues, when I could not jump without major pain, and within a few days of playing with these my knees were back to normal.  I can't say enough about wearing the right shoes, and for basketball, these are the right shoes.

I'm totally satisfied!
