Since we are at about the halfway point of the year, the sneaker experts over at WearTesters went ahead and made their picks for the best basketball shoes of 2018 so far.

Side note: How does one go about getting a job where you get to rock the coolest kicks on the planet and get paid to review them? Asking for a friend. But I digress.

Anyhoo, considering what I just pointed out, the fact that they wear new sneakers for a living, and actually put them to the test on a basketball court, it’s a pretty safe bet that they know what they are talking about.

Here are the shoes they chose…

Here’s the Founder and Editor of WearTesters, Chris “Nightwing2303” Chase, to explain their selections further…

Myself? I’m no shoe “expert,” but I do write about them and wear a lot of them and here are my top five picks so far (strictly based on the fact that I like them, not because they’re the best basketball shoes)…

Air Jordan 13 Retro In ‘Hyper Royal’
Suede Air Jordan 18 in ‘Gym Red’
Russell Westbrook’s Triple Double Special “Why Not?” Zer0.1
Personalized Kobe AD For Phoenix Suns Star Devin Booker
Air Jordan 10 Russell Westbrook ‘Olympians’ (Class Of 2006) Split Color Design
