Middle aged as I am, I decided to get back into competitive basketball and splashed out for a pair of beautiful and flashy ASICS volleyball shoes (much the same as a basketball shoe) Anyhoo, ruined my body in many ways after a single game and there ended my dreams of reaching the NBA in my mid-40's! They are very comfortable and I could keep them for occasional casual shooting, but I would rather just recover some cash and wear my jogging shoes. ASICS are my gold standard for sports shoes. I think I paid $200-+tax. Worn for two hours.
