The best basketball shoes of 2019… so far. Spoiler alert… there are a lot of good ones to choose from this year.

---

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas — although this may be like Christmas to hoopers.

Today, we have the list many of you anticipate at the midway point of each year. Which, out of the many that have released, are the best basketball shoes of the year so far? I go into minor detail about each model, why I like them and why I think they are what I consider to be one of the best of the year. Hopefully most of these models stay on the list by the end of 2019, but as most of you know, there is a strong possibility that doesn’t happen. We haven’t even hit the new season for basketball shoes yet, and there are so many to look forward to still. In case you’re curious what makes the list later this year, we’ll be regularly updating the list on our Best Basketball Shoes of 2019 page.

However, if you’re in the market for a basketball shoe right now and did not want to wait to see what else releases then these are the ones I feel are the best options for most people.

I hope you enjoy the list for best basketball shoes of 2019 so far and feel free to let me know if you feel the same way about any of the models chosen.
