    A pair of Nike's is probably what you are looking for. The logo looks like this:

    I know you don't want to, but you're going to need to tell us why no nikes, just in case there's another brand we shouldn't recommend for the same reason.

    If you're gonna play outside only, you might as well get good shoes.

    I think everyone is prone to getting their ankles sprained. You want some shoes that are high tops like, nike hyperdunks 2013, that wrap your ankle. I have them and they tighten my ankles, but I don't feel as free when I had low top shoes. I bought mine from the outlet on 290 for $60, months ago though. Maybe you can have some luck going there.

    Find some shoes that have high tops similar to the hyperdunks or buy low top shoes and wear two ankle braces like d.rose haha. Most importantly, make sure they're comfortable for your feet.

    I had d.rose 2, got them cuz they were cheap, another d.rose shoe came out. They felt reallly comfortable and light. If you are worried about your ankles, the d.rose shoes ankle area aren't as strong as nike, thats why i think d.rose wears 2 ankle braces when he wear his shoes lol. but everybody will eventually sprain their ankles, regardless of what shoe or ankle brace you have. I don't think I sprained my ankles when I wore d.rose for about a year.

    Crazy Light, same thing. Light and comfortable, but not as strong in the ankle area.

    check the outlet on 290, adidas always have crazy light and d.rose shoes that are cheaper.

    LOL yes. The Employee store has all the newest merchandise at 50% off. The outlet store carries older out of season stuff.

    I have D-Rose 2.5s.
    Ugly and not as good as Nikes.
