Basketball is one of the fastest growing sports in a world. It's played in virtually every country.

Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Understand what you are looking for in a street basketball shoe. A street basketball shoe needs to be able to stand up to the elements. Look for shoes that have good traction on the bottom and for further comfort, look for basketball shoes that have air pockets. Additionally, as with all basketball shoes, you should find street basketball shoes with good ankle support.

  2. Step 2

  3. Step 3

    Go to the Eastbay website. Eastbay is one of the leading sellers of basketball shoes on the Internet. To find their collection, simple click on the "Footwear" link on the top of the website. On the next page, select the "Basketball" option. You then are taken to their full catalog of available basketball shoes. A good brand for street basketball shoes is And1. And1 is the sponsor of the world's largest street basketball tour and specialize in making apparel for street basketball.

  4. Step 4

    Visit Pick Your Shoes to find more And1 street basketball shoes. Pick Your Shoes provides an array of different basketball shoes, including some hard-to-find styles. While on the website, you can also check out basketball shoes from Nike, Reebok, Converse and other top basketball shoe brands.
