A sneaker designed for maximum performance on the basketball court. High tops, which have openings that extend to the top of the ankle, are the preferred style because they provide maximum ankle support, stability, and cushioning. Mid tops extend to the ankle and are lighter than high tops for enhanced speed. The less-popular low tops are also lighter for speed, but don't provide the needed ankle support for regular play.
About Mid Top:
Mid Top refers to any hosiery or footwear whose uppers extend up to the ankles or a bit higher. The Mid Top height is designed to provide ankle support and stability and is featured mostly on basketball, hiking or winter footwear.
