Can you wear tennis shoes to play basketball?

Answer by  kvette (40)

If you are playing for fun, tennis shoes will usually work well for playing basketball, especially on outside courts. If you are on a team, or on an indoor court, it is recommended to use dedicated basketball shoes. They have better grip, and will improve your stability.

You should wear shoes which are meant and designed for basketball (Nike makes the best), but there is no "harm" in wearing tennis shoes.
