I have two really bad ankles, I got a grade 3 ( the worst type .. ) sprain on both my right and left ankles and had to sit out two weeks of soccer season and two weeks of baseball season .. luckily i was 'healthy' enough to play basketball .. i got these injuries 2 years ago but i still wont play anything without using ankle braces, with that being said 2 years ago i wore jordan laneys and i loved them and the ankle braces fit under them perfectlty .. there somewhat hightops, at least compared to other basketball shoes .. this past year i got the lebrons ( idk the type, they were just white ad gold lebrons ) and i hated them .. i couldnt tell you why i just didnt like them they didnt feel right and the ankle braces where hard to get on under them, i went back to the jordans 1/2 through the season.
