I stopped when I got to the pic of Eli Carter sitting there with his broken foot.
(I broke my ankles playing basketball in high school..one each my Soph and Junior year so I get the willies seeing low tops or Chick Taylors LOL). )
I think most ankle injuries are caused by stepping on another guys foot when you land and twisting/spraining it. Not sure if high tops will ever prevent that injury any more than a good tape job and low tops could.
I went to a game (not this year of course) and was talking to Kadeem Jack and asked the same question
He said something along the lines of Eddie let them wear their own sneakers
Thought it was a really bizarre and silly policy - that everybody should be wearing the same sneakers
Still do
no seriously, at this level your are right. most of the high tops are really mid tops anyway.
I just go back to the white chuck taylors until they had to come out with those sued blue low-tops and ruin everything LOL.
Exactly how I broke my ankle. Was wearing low top chuck Taylor's. Don't know if high tops would have helped. Wore high tops from that point on to play bball.
Players should wear the same jersey and shorts. Same sneakers? Who the heck cares!?!
Plus don't you want players wearing sneakers they feel comfortable in and fit?

Yes, me too! I have a long history of rolling my ankles between football and basketball, to the point where every time they drive to the hole, I'm physically cringing at home.
Back in the day I bELieve I severely tore ligaments Running into the RAC late for a game. Didn't remember a hill-my foot went down and I was still up. Now running on a treadmill but to this day on the road a big pebble can take out my ankle.
Corey has been wearing these this season....
Frankly the choices that Nike gives RU aren't exactly high profile. Just standard team stuff.
So, the guys are wearing what's comfortable to them. As a fellow sneaker head, I can relate to that desire.
They are as much a "fashion statement" these days as they are for performance on the court.
As long as they are within the general color scheme, I'm good with whatever shoe choices the kids make.

Gettys is wearing Jordan XI's. The greatest Jordan sneaker.
Nigel is wearing Jordan X's.
Sprained and even broke my ankle wearing high tops. These kids get taped. I am not sure high tops would add that much protection at that point.
High tops do not offer any more protection against broken ankles than low. If it's going to break, it will break. It's all a mental thing. A little like a belt for heavy lifting, all mental.
