Why I need good shoes

I've been needing some good basketball shoes for awhile, but I haven't been able to decide which ones to get. I decided to reach out to my peers in hopes of making a more well informed decision. I've narrowed it down to either Nike or Adidas shoes. I realize it might be seem strange that I even want new basketball shoes since I don't play all that often, but it's still important to me. When I do play, I feel like having good shoes will help me be more confident in my ability. They may even limit my risk of injury. I'm leaning toward Nike, but we'll see how things go.
