Most of us have had coaches at one time or another who required all their players to wear shoes that matched their team colors. Personally, I always hated when that happened, because our coach usually picked some lame-looking, mid-level shoe that made my teammates and me cringe every time we put them on. Which is a shame, because when an athlete finally steps on the floor for that first game of the year, he or she wants to feel the confidence that comes from knowing that they look good—and that their shoes can perform at an elite level.

Luckily for you and your teammates, this season’s team shoe lineup is stacked with options you can’t go wrong with–shoes that the best players in the world will be wearing this season. It’s stacked with strong options, including shoes worn by the best players in the world. Here are the top five performance basketball team shoes available for this season, along with a list of which NBA players will be wearing them.

5. adidas Crazylight Boost

NBA Players Wearing It
Damian Lillard, Andrew Wiggins, Ricky Rubio

Why You Should Wear It
This will be the first basketball shoe to incorporate adidas’s revolutionary Boost technology. The Boost midsole is made up of tons of tiny energy capsules that are heat-fused to create a cushioning and energy-return platform unlike anything in any other shoe. Boost-themed shoes have been the shoes of choice for several marathon winners over the past two years because of the unrivaled capacity of Boost to absorb impact over a 26-mile run. Now this incredible technology is set to take over the basketball world as well.

4. Jordan Super.Fly 3

NBA Players Wearing It
Blake Griffin, Jabari Parker, Andre Drummond

Why You Should Wear It
All you really need to say about the Super.Fly 3 is that it will be worn by arguably the most athletic player in the NBA. In a league filled with freak athletes, Blake Griffin is the best in show, and he depends on the Super.Fly 3. Its Flight Web fit system provides stabilizing lockdown and support. This helps create a strong base for you to cut on, which enhances your ability to blow by defenders with quick spin moves or crossovers. The evolved Flight Plate in the Super.Fly 3 works with the Nike Zoom unit in the forefoot to increase energy return, so you get more bounce out of every jump. Not saying you’ll be able to fly like Blake, but pretty close.

3. Under Armour Clutchfit Drive

NBA Players Wearing It
Stephen Curry, Kemba Walker, Greivis Vasquez

Why You Should Wear It
The sleek, bold design of this shoe will bring a level of excitement and intensity to your team’s on-court look that most other shoes can’t compete with. Not only is it a great-looking shoe, it delivers performance for some of the best in the game. The ClutchFit upper forms to the contours of your foot like a second skin for superior feel, fit and support. If you want proof that it works, think about Stephen Curry’s ankle issues early in his career. They’ve been nonexistent since he joined Under Armour, and the ClutchFit Drive is a big reason why. If cushioning and responsiveness are at the top of your priority list, this shoe has you covered there too. Its full-length Micro G foam delivers super-soft landings and helps you quickly explode off the court. This will increase your second jump speed around the rim, where even a couple of milliseconds can be the difference between getting your shot off and getting it blocked.

2. Nike Zoom Soldier 8

NBA Players Wearing It
LeBron James, Julius Randle, Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan, Ty Lawson

Why You Should Wear It
First of all, you know any shoe with The King’s name attached to it is going to be a great looking shoe, and this one comes in great team color options as well. After being the preferred on-court shoe of LeBron James last season, the Zoom Soldier is sure to be another player favorite this season with a couple of key technology upgrades. If you like a strap on your shoe for enhanced mid-foot lockdown, this is the best choice this season in a team shoe. The strap has been updated with a zipper to make it easier to take on and off. It also features a decoupled forefoot and heel outsole for natural motion. This means that the front and back of your foot can move more independently of each other like the foot was meant to, instead of moving as one long, flat surface. This increases your ability to cock your foot like a spring as you get ready to jump, allowing you to generate more power for each jump.
