If you get this wrong, it could mean the difference between an all-star basketball season and a lame basketball season. Or worse, an injury-filled basketball season.
When I started playing basketball as a 15-year old, there weren't any girls basketball shoes on the market, so guess what we played in? Yep, boys basketball shoes.
Sounds crazy, right? I'm not a boy, why would I buy boys basketball shoes? Because when I started playing basketball, that's all there was! There was no such thing as a girls basketball shoe.
Luckily for you a lot has changed.
You're a girl's basketball player and now you can wear shoes made just for girls. Imagine that. Girls basketball shoes for girls basketball players! I love it!
Here's why this excites me.
Your foot (and your entire body) is very different from a boy's. And that means that your basketball shoes should be different too. If you're wearing a girls basketball shoe, you're likely to perform better because your shoe's tailor-made for you.
I've been researching girls basketball shoes for over 10 years, maybe longer, and here's what I've found. Most companies take a boy's shoe, knock it off and call it a girls basketball shoe. Do they think we won't notice? Please.
Fortunately, there's a new company who knows that girls basketball players want girls basketball shoes. What I love about this company is that they're not pretending to know girls basketball or girls basketball shoes, for that matters. They actually love girls basketball. And the girls basketball shoe they've made proves it. And that really excites me.
The new shoe's called nfinity. And I think it's pretty hot. But you can see for yourself. Check out the new design and let me know what you think.
And I'll see you on the court!
