From the barbershop to the water cooler and on social media, the usual banter between basketball fans has always revolved around debating which player is better than the other one.
LeBron's better than Kobe!
Steph has better handle than Kyrie!
KD is a better pure scorer than Melo!
Nowadays, while those discussions haven't gone away, a remix of those discussions is currently taking place...
Damian Lillard's shoes are way better than Chris Paul's!
Jamal Crawford's kicks are low-key fire compared to D. Rose's!
Which athlete is going to get the next signature shoe?
While we tried to answer the last question, the debate of which shoes are truly the best is always a tough one to answer. Therefore, we decided to ask the people to help us answer the question. Who has the best signature basketball shoes for the 2015-16 season? We've compiled a select group of trusted sneakerheads (bloggers, writers, journalists, insiders) who will make up 50 percent of the total vote, and you, the people, who will make up the other 50 percent of the vote. We will release the results of our poll along with crowning the winner on June 28.
