From the Manufacturer

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

I am a Master's basketball player. It is very important to me to have a comfortable shoe which also provides support and cushioning. I've always liked Asics running shoes but didn't know they made a basketball shoe. Saw this one on-line and decided to try it.

It is a comfortable fit and provides good cushioning. The shoe top could be a little higher to provide more support. The outsole provided good traction but is not very flexible. Took a while to break-in.

Overall, a good shoe for the price.

Since I bought my first pair of ASICS running shoes, I have become a loyal customer. The fit and quality of their shoes is far superior to any other shoe I've bought. So when I signed up for a beginner basketball league and needed shoes, the first place I checked was ASICS. I can't compare these to any other basketball shoes, since as I said, I'm a beginner. But reading online I knew that a basketball shoe has to be built to absorb more shock than your average pair of sneakers. These shoes are very solidly built and relatively heavy, and darting around on the basketball court I could definitely feel the difference between these and my pair of featherlight running shoes. Plus I liked the colors, they're not over the top or flashy.

If you're going to play basketball, you definitely need to invest in a good pair of shoes unless you want to blow out your knees down the road, and ASICS was per usual, the right answer.
