An Illustrated History Of Low-Top Basketball Shoes

An Illustrated History Of Low-Top Basketball Shoes

Champs Low Top Basketball Shoes

Basketball sneaker design has shifted drastically toward the low-cut look, or at the low-cut feel. Gone are the days where restrictive ankle padding, which contributes to knee injuries, require lacing up half-way up to the calf. Instead, basketball sneakers are designed to have that low-cut feel with an emphasis on lock-down, heel-support, traction, and stability. The thought of low-top sneakers existed for decades, all the way back to what is perhaps the most recognizable sneaker in history – the Converse Chuck Taylor. What followed was a string of shorter models that had every bit the performance aspect as its taller counterparts like the Air Jordan 2 Low, Zoom Jet Flight, adidas Gil Zero, and much more. For a more in-depth breakdown of this unique timeline in sneaker history. Check out the full feature at The Drop by Champs Sports.
