What Makes a Basketball Shoe Better for Outdoor Play?

Outdoor courts are harder on shoes than clean indoor hardwood. Look for a substantial outsole with durable rubber and a traction pattern that is designed to keep working when the surface is dusty or rough. A secure upper and stable platform also help when you cut, stop, and land on uneven pavement.

No outsole lasts forever outdoors. How long a pair holds up depends on the surface, how often you play, your movement pattern, and whether you rotate shoes. If you also play indoors, some players prefer keeping a separate indoor pair so their best traction is not worn down on blacktop.
