Women's Basketball Shoes

Women’s Basketball Shoes – the Search for Equality

When you shop for women’s basketball shoes, you might feel largely – or completely – overlooked in this category. You’re apt to only find game-ready models designated for men. It’s standard practice for manufacturers of performance footwear. When you find a men’s shoe that interests you at Eastbay.com, consult its accompanying size chart to find the women’s equivalent size. The same goes for boys’ and girls’ sizing. Rest assured, women’s basketball shoes are here by the hundreds.

It’s All About Engineered Performance Features

It’s a grueling game, with constant movement, radical pivots, pounding impacts, and potential for fatigue. Basketball shoes for women must satisfy the same demands as men’s models. These requirements include flexible yet supportive uppers, secure lockdown, responsive cushioning, and attention to anatomical factors. If you have specific needs, check our product descriptions to find the right shoe for you. 

Follow the Process

Joel Embiid nicknamed himself “The Process” to reflect the journey from his Cameroon home to the pro elite. His Under Armour debut, the Embiid One mid-top is designed for a power player who also relies on cat-like agility. Its upper is supported by wide lockdown wings anchoring the laces. Lightweight mesh allows airflow and flexes for optimal mobility. Micro G midsole foam and HOVR technology in the heel supply noticeable energy payback. 

Rule Over the Court

LeBron “King” James dominates with quick, explosive moves. His Nike LeBron 18 low-top delivers outstanding shock absorption without impeding his evasiveness. The upper’s thick-knit appearance hints at its flexibility and sock-like feel. Sewn-in tunnels enclose lockdown cables that integrate with lacing. A full-length Zoom Air midsole and high-volume Max Air heel unit provide outstanding cushioning. 

Slip into the Ankletaker’s Shoes 

Superstar Kyrie Irving is known for his razzle-dazzle style of play. The lightweight Nike Kyrie 7 sneaker is designed for his turn-on-a-dime moves. The soft, breathable mesh upper promotes speed, agility, and game-long comfort. Four mesh lace anchors add secure midfoot and forefoot lockdown for controlled quick cuts. A curved Air Zoom Turbo midsole provides multidirectional cushioning.
